New Startup JPEGmini Reduces Photos’ Size, Not Their Quality

Photographers, take note. A startup called JPEGmini is introducing a new photo compression technology for JPEG photos which reduces the overall file size (by up to 5 times), while preserving the photo's quality and resolution. The technology is designed specifically with the Web in mind, as more photographers, both amateur and professional, use online storage for photo archival purposes. With JPEGmini , photos can be uploaded, emailed and shared faster, while saving on storage and bandwidth costs. Sounds great, of course. But the question is: does it work?
