AnotherLife Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) I am a developer and I always make sure my images are as small as possible, I find myself losing time because paint.net's jpeg compression is not up to par. I run all images through a batch file which does this jpegtran -copy none -optimize -perfect %1 output.jpg Is there a way to automate this with some plugin maybe ? Or implement this lossless processing as an option in the program itself ? (suuuure sure) Edited September 24, 2012 by AnotherLife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 If it doesn't need to be a .jpeg file, you could use the OptiPNG plugin. It makes the filesize of .png images smaller and .png is a lossless format so...maybe that could work? If the images have to be .jpeg, then paint.net doesn't have such a function.

AnotherLife Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 pngout provides better results than Optipng. So there's another batchfile timewaster there to run my pngs through that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I don't have the skills to code such a plugin - there are others here who do. They may smile on your request if you ask very nicely. JPG's are not lossless. Not even at 100% quality. Have you investigated the WebP format? It's a JPG killer.

AnotherLife Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 The tools I've mentioned are about lossless optimization/recompression. I can't use Webp due to lack of support (from older browsers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Is there a plugin to implement jpegtran ? User null54 coded one up for you. Download the plugin in this thread: Enjoy. Now, I ask you... is this the best, most helpful community or what?!
