Lastly and just as important, JPEGmini Pro adds no time to your export process. And given how influential website speed is in Google’s ever-changing PageRank algorithm, it’s very beneficial to use the smallest file size you can for your website’s content. If you’re working remotely and want to upload a bunch of files over your tethered data plan, what would you prefer to upload: 19MB max resolution files or 5MB versions that look darn near identical. Either my own hosting solution or Dropbox will have to be capable of sustaining endless uploads of 12-ish GB of files or I’m paying a lot of money for 16 GB USB drives from any of the endless number of companies offering that these days.Īnd let’s face it, as megapixels on cameras expand in the never-ending search for immaculate image quality, today these weddings may be hovering just under 16GB - or more as is always the case with a random job here or there - but as quickly as I can type these words the average file size of a JPG is increasing.įurthermore there’s the consideration of mobile Internet data. For clients I do one of two things for image delivery, either online download via something like my own client site (or Dropbox) or I give them a branded USB drive with all their pictures on it.Īny way you slice it, it’s costing me money per MB of data I use or time in having to upload larger files. This for me is perhaps the most amazing part.
Those 12 GB wedding files were not only still great looking, at 100% crop, but also more than half the overall file size was suddenly gone.

The thing about compression, as we all know, is that it’s that balance and trade-off, quality for file size.Īnd wow, JPEGmini Pro may be the best software I’ve seen at walking that fine line between IQ and size. Large pictures are never viewed up close, so the leeway for image quality is perhaps even greater at larger print sizes. In fact I doubt any regular client is going to notice and given that 90% of these wedding pictures won’t go any further than social media, few of them printed anywhere beyond 8×10 and the 2 or 3 that are printed large, well, that’s just it, they’re large. I’m sure there are pixel peepers out there who can see it and care but the difference I can see, is not something I care about. Impressed is the only way to describe my feelings about the pictures.įor one, at 100% crop the difference between any two of the pictures from the two exports was negligible. I then enabled JPEGmini Pro on the same export preset and re-did the whole thing. I selected a random wedding, exported the pictures as I have for years now and was left with 12 GB of files.

To begin with I tested some full wedding exports which tend to, despite my best efforts in Lightroom, export at around 10 to 16GB (and sometimes larger) depending on the wedding day. I tested this extensively for the past month with Lightroom 5 on my Mac and have been more than pleased with the results. While I am primarily a Lightroom user and that’s mostly what I tested JPEGmini Pro with - especially the large exports of files - I did put the Photoshop CC extension through its paces as well. While the Lightroom version of JPEGmini Pro has been out for some time, the Photoshop CC version is fresh.
After you’ve installed it and added its functionality to your preset, it’s pretty much hands off.
