If you are an existing user of JPEGmini, you should receive a popup inside the app allowing you to upgrade with a special discount of 30%. If you don't see the banner inside the app, please email our support - sup...@jpegmini.com, with the subject: "Upgrade pricing for JPEGmini Pro", stating what was the email that was used to purchase JPEGmini and attach a proof of purchase (this could be a screenshot, or an email with an invoice).
On the other hand, I'm already compressing quite a bit. Perhaps jpegmini's compression is superior if the original compression is at very high quality. If that will give me better final files then great. But since I typically use raw and compress tiffs into jpeg, this seems lke an inefficient way to do it. After all, the initial compession introduces artifacts, so the second copression has to deal with those as if they are detail. Seems that better files could be generated if jpegmini could accept tiffs or pngs.
So is the idea that it just produces better results than say Photoshop when compressing to this level? I haven't tested yet, but the only way this would be of value to me is if an image saved at PS's highest quality level and then reduced with jpegmini would look significantly better than just compressing it to a similar level with photoshop. If it is that much better, I'd love a plugin that allows that process in one step.
just did a test for myself. The trial only restricts you by 20 photos per day which is very generous in my book. I am not sure I would run into a situation where I would need to actually need beyond the trial haha. Anyway it shrunk a gopro jpg from 5mb to 2.2mb without any visible difference in the pixels. Thanks for this article, looking forward to using jpegmini
The problem I am facing now is that when choosing to open the image by the jpegmini program,the program says it cannot open file type. However, if I go into the program and click "open" and selecting the image it then works.
