Reviewed by: CNET Staff
True to its name, this utility takes photo compression very seriously. On the plus side, Advanced JPEG Compressor supports a wide range of image formats and packs a number of features for fine-tuning compression, even when working with large batches of shots. The downside to this extensive level of control is a crowded, chaotic interface that may scare off newcomers. The program lets you set compression ratio and levels, and offers handy sliders for equalizing the detail quality. Folks who really want to get detailed will appreciate the abilities to tweak sharpness, luma equalization, smoothness, brightness, and color balance. In addition to the rotation feature, you'll find a tool that lets you add a watermark, with the ability to adjust its font, placement, and opacity. In our tests, this program quickly shrunk our images without a noticeable loss in quality, even when we took a closer look with the powerful zoom tool. However, since the demo version won't let you save compressed shots, some users may not find it as handy as similar, less-restrictive programs. Still, seasoned shutterbugs who need to save space without sacrificing quality likely will get a lot out of Advanced JPEG Compressor.Publisher's description

Version: Advanced JPEG Compressor 2009 r.2
"Good, but might not be best for bucks"
Pros: Advanced JPEG compressor allows tweaking into detailed aspect of photo compression. Not for beginner.
Cons: Too difficult. Not for home users.
Too expensive for just image compression only
2009? The developer should look Image Compressor 2008. It's more expensive but also has tons of other features this software don't have.Summary: Try it. But you have to buy before seeing the actual result :(
