Technology company ICVT has developed an method to optimize JPEG compression. The company’s JPEGMini system analyses each image to assess the maximum compression that can be applied to an image without loss of perceptible quality. The company says you can expect a 50-80% reduction in filesize over a JPEG that hasn’t been intelligently optimized. At present the system can only be used via the company’s online service. Meanwhile, the news has prompted blog PetaPixel to reiterate the little-known quirk of Photoshop’s JPEG quality slider that means your images may be better saved at quality 6 than 7. (via PetaPixel)
