BetterJPEG Lossless Resave Plug-in

Better JPEG Lossless Resave Plug-in is a utility that was designed to help professional and amateur users altogether. Given that it is a plug-in, its functions can be fully accessed only via the host applications, which are Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Photoshop Elements.

This tool allows users to prevent recompression quality losses while editing an image and saving it on the PC. The fact that JPEGs are built from small independent blocks is a perk for the plug-in that uses this information to recompress only modified blocks.

Users can access two components of this utility that can help them either import or export content to Adobe Photoshop. These tools can be viewed and accessed through the Import and Export subcategories under the File menu.

This plug-in comes in handy especially when users want to edit a small portion of the image and saving it using the traditional method would lead to severe quality losses, as a result of recompression. Even rotating or flipping image files can lead to the same unfortunate losses.

Users can safely add text, watermarks or remove red-eye effe without needing to worry about overall picture quality. More so, various file information, such as metadata, remains unaltered. It is possible to toggle the update of EXIF thumbnail and the optimization of Huffman Tables, as well.

In addition to the aforementioned features, this plug-in also allows users to reconstruct previously damaged files by importing the original image and exporting it back. The plug-in relies on an accurate decompression algorithm in order to do so.
