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,
