<description><![CDATA[Works fine on WindowsXP however Internet Explorer 7 and 8 both run exceptionally slow almost at a stand still eversince installation. The only way to be certain is to uninstall but then I'll loose my free licence.  Great shame unless anyone has ideas for correcting IE8 reinstallationn does not solve the problem.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#56 Thanks Fubar!

It'll take a while to fully digest the depth of available info - but from a quick look, JPEGsnoop does indeed appear to be exactly what I've been seeking. Some very useful background reading at the site too.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<b>@TK, #52</b>: Quoting you "<i>no visible loss of quality is also possible if you shut your eyes or are visually impared</i>"

First thing that came to my mind: "The man (or woman) is joking", but then I concluded you were serious.

You have to discriminate between visible details and invisible details. As long as you lose only the invisible details this will of course be invisible (per dedfinition; even when you have the sight of a hawk).
Losing the invisible details is only bad when you want to enlarge or fineprint, zoom in to details etc.

I am NOT talking about "<i>special crafted files designed to be compressed with no visible losses</i>" but about "<i>normal image files of any user</i>"

<b>Compression without visible loss is a real posibility like I explained in #20.</b>
Compression can mostly NOT be compressed in a lossless manner. This is absolutely the case for jpg. Even if the compression leaves no visible traces, you do lose resolutionpotential in case you want to enlarge.
Thsi means, never archive your pictures with a tool like this but you can reduce the size of a collection that you want to use on the internet or sending it by mail etc.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have about 100GB worth of photos from my travels around the world - so anything that can reduce the file size but retain the quality is useful - this does a pretty decent job - shame it's limited to processing only 500 photos at a time though. Keeping the same size photos and same JPEG Quality setting I see about a 40% to %50 reduction in file size which is great. I like to use Proshow and turn my photos into moving slideshows and it has problems dealing with huge file sizes so something like this would be useful.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Compression? The program (not surprisingly) has to remove data from the original file in order to make it smaller. I would have thought that most everyone would at least understand this to some degree? Based on the 'disappointed' comments, it appears not. Remember the old adage: "if it seems to good to be true, it probably is"?

Fubar - someone other than myself who loves CRT monitors? It's gotten to the point where I have now stocked up on some high quality, large 22"+ CRTs so that I'll have them for the foreseeable future. Once they are all gone, I'm not sur what I will do then. I'll probably be a pensioner and won't be able to see much and I'll be stuck with some lousy LCD monitor, won't that be fun. :(

It's really unfortunate that almost everyone other than some specialty manufacturers have discontinued new manufacturing of the CRT monitors and TVs.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Installed fine on Vista 64 using 'Run as Administrator.' 

I set the configurations first, it appends (fileminimiser) to beginning or end of file by default, so it should not be overwriting your original file. You can change that to anything you want, I changed it to (FM) You can also select the output directory. Between those two elements your original files are safe as can be. 

I ran it on some small not great to start with files. I only got 21% on the one I cross checked using IrfanView. An odd thing though, it actually has more unique colors than the original. Orignal had 12717 and minimized has 13450. File size reduced from 48.05KB to 37.91KB memory size remained the same. It loads a little slower. 15ms as opposed to 0ms on the original. Pixil size stayed the same and it reported (on Irfanview information window) dpi of 300x300, the original didn't report anything, fields are blank. But checking under the resize/resample window in Irfanview, it is only 72dpi the minimized is 300dpi. Go figure! 

I will agree with one (or more) of the commentary's it would be good to have a better help file. I didn't know what 'pack and go' was, I had to deduce from the faq's what it does, it didn't really explain it some folks wouldn't be able to. I was surprised to learn about the other types of files it minimizes also. Any Office document with pictures can be minimized and packed also.

All in all, it does a pretty good job, I will be trying some of my larger files down the line. Thanks GAOTD and Balesio.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#36, caulbox, no, JPEG quality isn't stored in the file, and it's meaningless if the file has been processed multiple times.  It is possible in some cases to guess, based on the information in the JPEG file, what camera/editor processed the file, and what JPEG quality was used.  Try <a href="http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/jpeg-snoop.html" rel="nofollow">ImpulseAdventure JPEGsnoop</a>, which is a free, standalone (no-install) program which does substantial analysis and decoding of JPEG files, and can return the original quality settings if a known camera or editor was used (see the end of the image analysis).]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I've forgotten to add 
with huge HDs or external back-up HDs
and 
fast broadband internet connections these days
do you really care about the size of a file or rather of its quality,
especially if one is a pro &amp; has to keep or send a file.
Reducing image size only make sense when posting images on pages,
O.K. I get it, not everybody has fast connections.
.
btw
png was reduced to 12,944 kb from 18,699 kb
bmp stays the same as I thought.
I have no more time for testing, you have fun with it.]]></description>
