Comments on: How To Optimize Images on a Mac: ImageOptim VS PNGPress http://www.macstories.net/tutorials/optimize-images-for-the-web/ Thu, 13 Jan 2011 22:11:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: kL http://www.macstories.net/tutorials/optimize-images-for-the-web/#comment-8320 kL Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:33:49 +0000 http://www.macstories.net/?p=2559#comment-8320 These tools don't intend to replace Photoshop (and it's save-for-web feature), but *complement* it. You first have to choose best palette using Photoshop, and then optimize the image. Both programs are lossless, so there shouldn't be any loss of quality! (the only difference may be due to gamma information removed, which for web browsers is a good thing!)

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm not sure what you mean about PNGPress providing a lower-quality image, however. I'd love to see a side-by-side comparison between Original .vs. PNGPress .vs. ImageOptim, I'm sure you users would, too. PNGPress isn't anything fancy, but it shouldn't be *noticably worse*.
