With Black Bird Image Optimizer - you can reduce the size of your photos without quality loss!It uses a completely new color quantization algorithm which is capable of reducing the size of photos without quality loss!Also, Black Bird Image Optimizer removes unnecessary metadata from the images.And many more.License info: -1-computer/1 year license-Update policy: no free updates-Tech support policy: free tech support (premium tech support is not avaliable)-Re-install policy: can be registered after promo ends. #13Hi, when I resize photos I'm much more interested in quality of ENLARGED picture, as that is much harder to achieve! Seeing this Program's promise:'With Black Bird Image Optimizer - you can REDUCE the size of your photos without quality loss!' - simply makes me laugh. To make image smaller by percentage, or any other method is so, so easy! If what you see afterwards looks somewhat less perfect than original - apply slight sharpness and voile!?Seriously, there is so many (paid or free) Photo Software on the market that do batch resize, if needed, and do it well that something that works solely online (where you have limited 'operational control' of adjustments before you're completely happy to post your pics elsewhere) - seems pointless. At least to anyone who is serious about sharing quality photos in e-mails (yes, people still use that most private way of sharing photos with family members and friends!) or online.Looks to me - Black Bird Image Optimizer is another of these offers for.

'people in a hurry' and those who use smaller screens of smart phones more than PCs or even Tablets? Hence the attraction - light, fast, and 'who cares about quality anyway'. Nope, not interested, sorry. Not even for free(.for 1 year!:). Hi, when I resize photos I'm much more interested in quality of ENLARGED picture, as that is much harder to achieve!

#11I installed the program, registered with provided serial number.I would NOT INSTALL and use this program for several reasons:1) It is nagging you to BUY THEIR STUFF after registration! I HATE THAT!!!2) IT IS ON THE WEB APPLICATION - I hate that, SINCE i MUST upload my pictures I hate that even more!!!!!3) The resulting image is WORSE than my original shot!4) The size of the screen is SMALL - and I can't resize it - I HATE THAT DOUBLE TIMES 4!5) You can't do much with this program - don't even install this TIME WASTER!6) If you want to run a BATCH - you must pay them more $$$ (they LIMIT batch to 20 pictures! )I hate a company that is giving you something WITH LOTS OF LIMITATIONS!!!!!

#3Complete and utter fantisy claims. 'With Black Bird Image Optimizer - you can reduce the size of your photos several times without quality loss!' OK take a 60Megapixel photo and reduce it to 640x480 vga 'without quality loss' and then resize it to say 1920x1080 and VIEW it on a full HD screen of at least 40 inches diagonally measured and you'll see the quality loss in all the fine detail will be gone and blurred pixelation of all the curved edges. Or just zoom in on the reduced size photo and compare it with the same zoom in on the full sized photo and you will see the quality loss in compression artifacts OR pixelation or both.

TK,After reading the developer's description, I took the statement to mean something different:'.reduce the size of your photos several times without quality loss.' ; i.e., shrink the data size of the file as stored without color/resolution quality loss (not the pixel dimensions).However, as noted in quick evaluation tests posted by others, it may not always work out that way (comment #5, Tim, who did not note what kind/format of file he used for his test, though likely JPEG files).Perhaps it works great for big/uncompressed RGB-type files?

Versus the 'size' of an image in the digital world where a digital image file has no physical dimensions dimensions measurable with a physical ruler.You and BlackBird could BOTH use some editing, then saying 'image file size' not 'photo size', and you using 'dimensions' or 'pixels across and down'.You're both wrong. @TK , the only 'size' a digital image file has is, well, 'size', not pixels across and down not color depth.BlackBird, JPEGmini and other programs can take a 4 mb FILE to 0.8 MB without changing the pixels across and down or color depth.Many people confuse the pre-digital world of photography where the 'size' of an image has real dimensions measurable with a physical ruler.

Audiomonk, If they are talking about compressing an uncompressed TIF or BMP then the use of any lossy compression will cause detail loss. If the file is ALREADY compressed especially with a lossy compression like standard JPEG compression then it WON'T reduce the file size further using a lossless compression algorithm as lossless compression just does not compress image data very well. I'll stick with free Irfanview it may not do side by side previewing of its effects but It certainly does far more than this and, always, for free.I notice that GAOTD team have changed the description to now read:'With Black Bird Image Optimizer - you can reduce the size of your photos without quality loss!' Instead of as it was at the begining of the giveaway:'With Black Bird Image Optimizer - you can reduce the size of your photos several times without quality loss!'
Unless they can clarify what the start state of the image file MUST be and how much the size is reduced by compared to a reasonable quality lossily compressed JPEG and or if they are talking about making the image web page ready which WILL require reduction in dimensions from multi-megapixel originals. The claim is still meaningless drivel in my opinion. Also for a lossless compression method one does not quantize existing digital data in the original image, you quantize averaged or interpolated data with lossy compression or when converting from analogue to digital but not when tokenising/encoding an already digital datastream like a bitmap image in a lossless manner.It reminds me of an old addage if you can't impress them with brilliance, impress them with.an expletive that commonly depicts false facts.

TK , correct - as I wrote, you both are wrong.Still haven't tried the product, have you?That was obvious to us in your first comment.Most diatribes against a product come NOT from those who tried it and found it's flaws, but from those who NEVER tried it at all before barking about how bad it was.
In their own imagination.I use this kind of super-shrinker on jpgs for ebook image files and web page archive image files - I am not going to ever scrutinize or print those to full page paper, I will only see them on screen in context with surrounding text.I find it useful for automatically shrinking image file sizes, as effective as JPEGmini, but with adjustable controls if you notice a preference for output qualities, and more reliable than batch settings in Irfanview et alia.
