Product Description:

Dubbed "the greatest plug-in of all time" (Glen Drake, Pindar publishing group), LinkOptimizer is a workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign.

LinkOptimizer works automatically with Adobe Photoshop to:
  • reduce the size of images linked to InDesign document by eliminating excess image data:
    LinkOptimizer will automatically reduce the image resolution, scale and crop the images in Photoshop according to their dimensions in the InDesign document and the target resolution specified, and reimport them to InDesign at 100%.
  • perform essential image adjustments:
    convert colors,
    apply sharpening,
    merge layers.
  • convert file formats.
LinkOptimizer allows to dramatically reduce the size of InDesign job, cut down on processing time and reduce production costs.

LinkOptimizer will help you save valuable storage space, time and reduce production costs by:
  • saving valuable disk space
  • reducing output time
  • speeding up job transfer to service providers, publications or other outside sources
  • reducing the job cost through faster processing by service providers
  • speeding up your overall job turnaround

This is a GREAT application for Graphic Designers!!!
Automatically reduces image files sizes so you can have a much smaller file to send to the printer. It also may RIP better with fewer problems for them.

PLEASE... Anyone interested in this product should read all of the reviews AND the responses to the feedback. dc_Graphic Designer seems to have some kind of personal vendetta here. He appears to be clueless about the field of graphic design and yet repeatedly posts negative comments and reviews here. If you read the other reviews (mostly by professionals), you will find that this is a very stable and useful application that DOES perform exactly as advertised.

dc_Graphic Designer claims to be a "university professor." If he really is, he seems to be precisely the pompous and arrogant type of personality that gives academia a bad name.

First, just wanted to thank the LinkOptimizer users for explaining the university professor some basics of desktop publishing. I can understand his frustration - he thought that LinkOptimizer optimized GIFs, but it, obviously, didn't (and never will).

But first - he had 15 days to try the demo and make sure the program does what he expected. And second, it's unclear what gains exactly he expected to achieve from "optimizing" GIFs. Regarding his other feedback - the problems he mentioned have never been reported by other users (except for the large off-pasteboard images, which is fixed).

I'm not sure why instead of just clicking the Support button and get the problem resolved, he would take the time to post the VersionTracker feedback. This won't solve any of his problems for sure - but will only demonstrate his childish anger and negativity to everybody.

Sincerely,
