What's it written in?

okay here is the science bit (lol):

JPG compression works with quanternions within a self-calling function (subsampling like mandelbrot)

the values i have given for compression are equal to the quanternion factoring... but are given, in layman terms, as to how close the new image will resemble the original

eg:

• 1= best compression (lots of artefacts)
• ...
• 35= moderate compression (few artefacts)
• ...
• 100= no compression... the picture will just be resized

i hope this explanation helps ???

besides that, i have tried to make the app as easy to use as possible... as you move the compression slider the preview updates

also, if a picture is too large to see a detailed part of the image, clicking and dragging the the original picture 'pans' both images.

Yeah it's alright I looked up how to do it and I got a similar explanation

And cool I like C++

a new version will also be available soon, with the ability to choose bewteen sizes 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768. images will be scaled down to fit within these bounds, keeping their aspect ratio.

i will make the link to the new version available some time after the holidays

Nice, what GUI builder you using? Nicely done in C++, would of been a lot easier to create with .NET framework (VB, C#). I have too much webspace and bandwidth, if you need a host, just let me know.

I used to love creating apps like this!

Nice work man!

Nice, can't wait until I get my new rig finally built. Defo going to up the coding time I have! I would test the app out for any bugs but Linux it is for now :*(. Using AMD Sempron lol.

Very good Program

I made one of these for work, just because i could the only difference is i can batch pictures saves loading one by one, will you be adding this?

 

[dugdiamond]

it was made for a specific purpose, and it met that criteria.

i will not be upgrading/re-coding the app, as similar functions will be found in my AIO-app, when it gets released (when i get a chance to finish it).
