Radical Image Optimization Tool (RIOT) 0.4.4

[Boyfriend]

RIOT is a free image optimizer that will let you to visually adjust compression parameters while keeping minimum file size.

Main features:

* open many image types including rare/scientific types
* save and optimize JPEG, GIF and PNG with a simple, clean user interface
* works in dual view: (original – optimized image) or single view (optimized image).
* Automatic preview of resulting image
* in-place compare function (alternativelly display the original image over the optimized image to notice small pixel changes)
* compress files to desired filesize threshold
* fast processing (all is done in memory); see instant results including resulting filesize
* batch support (process multiple files at once)
* transparency handling options
* decide if you want to keep metadata (comments, IPTC, Adobe XMP, EXIF profiles, ICC profiles). Unsupported metadata is removed
* transfer metadata between image formats (destination format must support them)
* common tools: pan and zoom, rotate, flip
* basic image adjustments: brightness, contrast, gamma, invert
* visually reduce number of unique colors for PNG and GIF images in order to reduce filesize
(two quantization methods are available: Xiaolin Wu and NeuQuant neural net)
* resize image by using well known resample filters (ex: Lanczos3, Catmull Rom, Bicubic, and others)
* out-of-the-box support for external PNG optimizers (optipng, pngout, etc)
* the compression and the results are comparable to those of commercial products, even higher.
* Adaptive logarithmic tone mapping algorithm (Drago) used for HDR images

Change log:

- fixed an access violation at startup in the DLL version, which occurs only in Vista (possible Windows 7).
The exception is caught when reading the configuration data.
- the Batch window is not displayed anymore if the images sent as parameters are not supported. The previous
behavior was to show the window with no files loaded.
- removed optipng -o5 external PNG optimizer preset and added advpng preset by default

OS Compatibility: Windows 2000 or newer including XP, Vista, Windows 7
