Image Compressor 2008 offers you much more than just a compression utility to save you space in your system without loosing image quality. It certainly compresses your images reducing quality loss to a minimum, but it is also a powerful image editor that will help you to retouch, resize, compare, view, convert, or annotate all your images.
The image compressing functionality is just one of the more than 70 other useful tools you can find in Image Compressor 2008. Still, compression is one of the things this application does best–its Digital Eye algorithm for high-quality JPEG image compression is still one of its main features. It renders extremely high quality results with considerable less file weight than the standard best-quality compression level of most other programs.
But Image Compressor 2008 is much more than that. Before compressing and archiving your precious photographs, this application offers you dozens of tools to improve, retouch, and creatively enhance your images with special effects. To name just a few, you can crop, flip, rotate, resize, equalize, merge, blend, blur or sharpen any photograph, remove noise, red-eye effect, and adjust contrast, brightness, colours, and much more.
Its scientific image comparison utility is also another of its highlights. Using up to five image comparison metrics (like Peak Signal to Noise Ratio or Root Mean Squared Error) provides scientific-analytical information of a whole image or a selected area.
It is also important to mention that its Digital Eye technology offers also great results when it comes to resizing your image files. Whether you need to shrink or enlarge any of your photographs, Image Compressor 2008 gives you the highest quality-size ratio you can find. With just one click, the Digital Eye algorithm will do a neat work for you, without any further adjustments.
Image Compressor 2008 will open almost any RAW image file, and more than 50 different formats. Once the job is done, you can save your photographs and convert them into JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, JP2 (JPEG2000 Bitmap) or PDF. |
