jpopt306.zip    JPEG Optimizer: MagiCompress(tm) Web Images

JPEG Optimizer is a program for compressing image files to the JPEG format with a real-time
preview. The program is easy to use and interactively displays the results of changing
compression settings on screen. 

JPEG Optimizer supports variable compression ie some regions of the image may be
compressed more than others. This gives greatly improved compression over standard
programs, in some cases 50% ie half the size with no visible difference.

JPEG Optimizer 3 introduces MagiCompressTM to magically shrink your images at the
touch of a button. This dramatically improves your productivity and , for the first time,
can be used with batch mode.
