  • What? An Interview with Thomas Hawk! Thanks PetaPixel!

    Thanks to Michael Zhang and PetaPixel for featuring an interview with me today. I’ve been a huge fan of PetaPixel for a long time now. Michael is probably doing a better job blogging photography than anyone else on the web right now and publishes great stories pretty much every single day. In this interview with Michael I talk about my own background in photography and where I think online photo sharing is headed in the next five years amongst other things.

    It’s truly an honor to be featured on such a great photography blog!

  • JPEGMini promises smaller files – PetaPixel shows Photoshop quality quirk

    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)
