I’ll DEFINITELY be trying this out Brooke! Thanks for sharing, i hadnt heard of this software beforeReplyCancel

  Hi Kathryn, no worries, the compression is pretty impressive. Make sure you start will a full size file first. So don’t compress in LR or PS first. If you compress in LR or PS first, the resulting compressed file will actually be slight larger than if you compress straight from full-size file xxReplyCancel

I cannot see any difference at all! This is brilliant!! ReplyCancel
- SandpiperPhotographyDecember 20, 2019 - 11:32 pm
  either of these are a must have! SpaceSaver has a bit of an edge in terms of file size reduction and speed, but JPEGmini also does a great job xReplyCancel
