Developer’s Description

By Zevrix Solutions

Reduce size of InDesign links and convert colors and formats.

LinkOptimizer is a workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. It works automatically with Adobe Photoshop to reduce the size of images linked to InDesign document by eliminating excessive image data. LinkOptimizer will automatically reduce the image resolution, scale and crop the images in Photoshop according to their dimensions in the InDesign document and the target resolution specified, and reimport them to InDesign at 100%.

LinkOptimizer can also perform essential image adjustments: convert colors, apply sharpening, merge layers and delete hidden ones; convert image file formats (JPEG to TIFF, EPS to PSD); run Photoshop action on each image. The software allows you to dramatically reduce the size of InDesign links, cut down on processing time and reduce production costs.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is a GREAT application for Graphic Designers!!! Automatically reduces image files sizes so you can have a much smaller file to send to the printer. It also may RIP better with fewer problems for them.
doesn't work

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Had this program for over a year and I have not been able to get it to work once! Currently working on a book design with 226 images and it crashes on the same image (a tif) every time. Then, when you try to "debug" the image (as if there can be something wrong with a plain old tif), the program goes though re-copying every image, adding another prefix, and makes you click on every already processed image and asks if you want to replace it rather than have the option to ignore already processed images. This program is such a waste of time and money!
has bugs

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />1) LinkOptimizer cannot handle GIF images. (If you plan on using the final output as a PDF, the what type of originating file should not matter, but up front documentation when paying $130 would be aprreciated if not expected.) 2) Crashes when it encounters a very large sized image that is off the pasteboard--and any image that is off the pasteboard. This crash then causes you to restart the whole process all over again. I would NOT recommend this program.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. The only drawback is that it won't work on rotated images or images in iregular shaped frames. But this thing rocks so far. I say so far because I have just done a little testing with it and will test it more , but so far no problems at all.
