Optimizing images with the WTV-Zone

Optimizing images with the WTV-Zone Knocks 60 kb's off of the file size without ANY quality degrading! For those tough Lard butt images or any jpg image optimizing at all. The WTV-Zone will not do this with gif images it will change the extension to jpg from gif. It will not accept any animated images. So for jpg's or PNG's only. I have not tested PNG's.

With this particular image I was having trouble using the quality setting method at ImageMagick without degrading the image to where it was not appealing to my eyes. So I output with the quality setting left blank. Here is that image. It is 64kb

I beamed the above into my WTV-Zone Account. Then I clicked on the height x width to the right of the file name which takes me to the WTV-Zone's Mini-Magick and image tools. All I do is rename the image.

Inside of the WTV-Zone Mini Magick are these options you can select.

Zone Magick

Please do NOT resize or work on animated Gifs!

Image Magick Image Manipulation

Resize graphic to ____% of original size, or height by width.

Rename image:

Keep Existing Image

Overwrite Existing Image

I select "Keep Existing Image". I could select "Overwrite Existing Image" if I like and not rename the image.

I do not do anything else. I am copying the image basically.

This image copy is 4 kb's! WOW huh! Here is that image. Compare the image quality and you will see no difference I predict.

The following is the 64kb image I run it through the WTV-Zone's Mini Magick adding resizing smaller to 240x200.

Where the text reads:

Resize graphic to ____% of original size, or height by width.

It is 3 kb's

Note: Clear comments has moved from resize to output.
It is at the bottom of this screen under Miscellaneous options:

These are the settings I use for a jpg.
(gif is a little different)
I set everything the same with one exception
Defining a quality percentage
Set the quality at 50% the image is a little over 10kb

Leaving the quality parameter blank the same
image with all the same settings is over 70kb
