[Web4lib] Optimizing graphics

[Alan Cockerill]

I'm a fan of Visualizer Photo Resize

<blurb>
Visualizer Photo Resize is a free batch resizer, converter and optimizer,
that is designed to handle all your photos and graphic documents (JPEG, GIF,
PNG, BMP, TGA, TIFF, PSD, PSP). The software will even allow you to embed a
text watermark in the batch process. You can modify the alignment of your
watermark and manually enter the edge position. You can change the font,
font size and font color, and you can change the transparency of the font.
Visualizer Photo Resize will also let you draw your images directly on a
background canvas, so you never have to worry about different ratios for
your images.</blurb>

I am seeking recommendations for a freeware tool that I can use to reduce
the file size (but not the actual dimensions) of images that will be used on
our web site. A similar fee based product is GifBot from NetMechanic.com.

Our PCs run Windows XP. Any and all suggestions (but especially those based
on personal experience) will be gratefully accepted.

Thanks!
