Need PhotoShop Plugin for image compression/optimization
 

What do you have.


:helpme

ctrl+alt+shift+s

try a photoshop action

I think I did not make the point I needed to. PS will save a photo for the web. And you can lower the quality of the image and that lowers the size of it. Weight size of the image as in 33k or 120k.

I am looking for a plugin that helps lower the weight 120k to 14k or what ever without loss of quality.

que?

On a mac (And probably Windows- idk) you open a photo, set it for "record actions" - apply the settings you want - size, bit depth, color mode, - save that action and apply it to any folders you want to...
someone else can probably explain this better...

I like the fact that Windows has sweet freeware like "fast stone photo resizer" that will do it all for you toot sweet.

That short cut he posted is save for web,.

got it, for that small 200x300 grainy version

thanks. Taking a look now.

Why would you need a plugin to do something Photoshop has built right in to it (save for web and devices)?

That $50 piece of softare (which is no longer even available for purchase from the company) ain't going to do anything better.

there are plugins I have seen used that do an awesome job of editing the images down with little loss of quality.

Something like this?

Based on this review, it seems like it's what you're looking for.

That's some old shit.

I downloaded this ran the setup and NOTHING. Looked for docs and did not find any so I removed it, and then posted this thread

I didn't know they weren't selling it anymore I have had it for years but it was called boxtop pro. I just search for boxtop pro on google and seen that link.
http://www.boxtopsoft.com/index.html Never read that dam !

But it seams you can still download it

Yeah you can download it and it works pretty well. Might try buying it, but hope to find a freebe.

whenever there is compression there is a loss of quality. The best thing to do is add a stop in the action when you save for web so you can get the best quality at the lowest size possible. But if there is a plugin where you can set the size you want with the best quality available, I would like that plug-in as well!

I have seen some filters that make some great photos with awesome compression. But I dont know the names of them.

Bump.. Anyone???

Found these: http://jpeg-compression.qarchive.org/downloads.html

Yeah, it looked pretty ancient.

The review was from 2001 and you needed at least Photoshop 3.0 to use it. :1orglaugh

thats a stand alone program. Not exactly what I wanted but not bad.

Yeah. I dont know why people keep things like that up.

Damn. No one???

I did a little searching and it seems there's a jpeg 2000 plugin as part of CS4.

This guy can't seem to find it, but was told where it should be:
