KayMan2K Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 ^ Agreed. Stuffit is the best compression scheme for JPG images. Doesn't matter if you are using a Mac or a PC. They have developed a new lossless encoder (which replaces the Huffman Coding section of the JPG file structure) to reduce the size of your JPG file 30% on average.

There is a reason that Apple has no longer included Stuffit with their OS, it has become more and more bloted and buggy over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
