- What Is ProJPEG?
-
- ProJPEG is an easy to use, high performance tool for preparing optimized
- JPEG images for the Web. It is a file format plug-in for Adobe Photoshop
- 3.0 and greater. In contrast to other JPEG capable tools ProJPEG
- provides many unique abilities to aid you in the creation of optimized
- JPEGs for the Web without trial and error that can save you valuable
- production time while resulting in smaller, faster JPEG files for your
- Web site.
-
- ProJPEG has been the top Macintosh tool for Web-graphics JPEG production
- since 1995 and is now available for Windows as well in version 3.
-
- By design, ProJPEG is optimized for fast, efficient production of JPEG
- graphics for the Web. It is specific to Web-graphics, and not intended
- for other JPEG format uses such as the compression of high-resolution
- images for archival storage.
-
-
- What Does ProJPEG Have To Offer?
-
- ProJPEG is a world-class production tool full of power for the seasoned
- Web design professional, but still offering simple and intuitive ease
- for those just getting started. The most advanced capabilities for
- creating Web-ready JPEG graphics are at your finger tips with ProJPEG.
-
- *** Superior compression abilities that out-perform Adobe's JPEG and all
- the other Web graphics tools for the smallest JPEG file sizes
-
- *** A blazingly fast, amazingly interactive, extremely intuitive, and
- (mostly) aesthetically pleasing interface for your working pleasure
-
- *** Image previewing allows you to contrast original image quality to
- JPEG compressed image quality simultaneously
-
- *** Live absolute file size display provides fast, accurate information
- on the compressed size of your JPEG file as you select parameters so you
- can always select the best parameters with out trial and error
-
- *** Download time estimation provides feedback for approximate download
- times providing improved context for file size information
-
- *** Full range controls allow complete control of JPEG compression and
- do not limit you to any upper or lower range as other tools may
-
- *** Advanced image smoothing controls to improve compression and image
- quality
-
- *** Sampling control allows control over emphasis - better quality or
- better compression
-
- *** Support for baseline JPEG encoding as well as progressive encoding,
- which allows for incremental image display in Web browsers
-
- *** Huffman code optimization capability for improved JPEG compression
-
- *** Powerful presets capability and ergonomic work-flow initializations
- allow you to work smarter and faster with minimum steps to produce
- optimized, Web-ready JPEG images.
-
- *** Full actions support for automated image processing.
-
- *** Full Year 2000 compliance (This may seem silly to put in for a tool
- that saves JPEGs but we do get asked the question a lot.)
