Thousands of photographs that take up space in your hard drives right now could take up even less space if you ran them through JPEGmini or JPEGmini Pro.
#JPEGMINI ALTERNATIVE PRO#
Ok, let’s get into the five reasons JPEGmini Pro is a no-brainer for any photographer. Clearly the graphic artist is stumped by how indistinguishable the regular JPEG file and the JPEGmini files are! Still not convinced? I ran into this video that shows a graphic artist who is printing large photographs for a photographer client of his. And yes, I couldn’t see any loss of quality and the client was thrilled with the final results. I dropped my file into the application and it generated a 7.5 megabyte file – essentially a 47% reduction in file size – for production. Their online system, however, only accepts files that are 10 megabytes in size or smaller. When a couple I photographed in Connecticut ordered a 20″x30″ canvas print for their home in North Carolina, I attempted to send a 14 megabyte file to Pixel2Canvas. It can either save over the original files (I recommend making a copy of your files just for safety’s sake) or you can have those images sent to a new folder, directing the application to constrict the photograph’s width or height in the process. I simply drag and drop the files into JPEGmini Pro and it does its magic.

If I have a batch of five or more photographs to process, they are enhanced in Photoshop and saved to a special folder. So, that’s why I lean on JPEGmini Pro now.

And frankly, juggling family and professional life, who has time to baby those files like that? Imagine if you had to upload 500 or 800 of those to ShootProof? It would take you forever. Try 27.5 megabytes on for size! The high resolution JPEG’s are approximately 14 megabytes. My “save for web” option was essentially back!Ī few months back, I upgraded to a Nikon D750. He was just as excited as I was with the new Photoshop extension that allows photographers to export out their photographs directly from Photoshop CC. Remarkably so, with a few additional benefits that I didn’t expect! The InterviewĪ few weeks back, Mitch agreed to be interviewed online to chat about JPEGmini and JPEGmini Pro. When I first heard about JPEGmini and the JPEGmini Pro option, I was genuinely hopeful that it would speed up my workflow. I desperately needed a way to scale down the photographs quickly and optimize them for the web. Russell Brown’s scripts, panels and actions, but for whatever reason, I simply couldn’t get those to work on my system. In any case, it was eating away at my productivity.Īs a hopeful alternative, I even looked at Dr. Now with it gone, it was just too laborious – I had to set the resolution and then manually open, crop and then save the images. I missed that because creating web versions of my 20mb files was a quick two-step process. My ears perked up as Mitch spoke because for years Photoshop had a “save as web” option and when Adobe released Photoshop CC, that option just disappeared.

So, I stood a the JPEGmini booth and watched Mitch and his colleague patiently describe their software and demonstrate how quickly it minimized file sizes, and also how efficiently it did it without any perceptible loss of the quality of the final images. Having heard of JPEGmini Pro from a couple of photographer friends, I was intrigued to find out more. It’s an annual event, and the trade show floor is packed with vendors and photographers from all over the world.

Mitch and I ran into each other at the Photo Plus Expo in New York City. Before we get into those, though, I wanted to introduce you to Mitch Schneider, Director of Marketing for the slick and useful application. There are five splendid reasons to use JPEGmini Pro.
