Jpeg Compression Programs
Which of Today's Top Graphics Programs
Does the Best Job

And the Internet, especially for people using a 56k dialup modem, can be
relatively slow. This combination could seriously limit one of the Web's
most appreciated aspects - its ability to present images quickly and
easily. JPEG compressed images are universally recognized by all modern
browsers and support the millions of colors that are needed to make a
photograph look great on the web. |

March/April 2001 issue of eDigitalPhoto.com
Magazine or the March 2002 issue of Shutterbug Magazine. But the best
way to read it is as a complete web site which compares 20 graphics programs
and Photoshop plug-ins at www.ImageCompress.com |
