CompressOmatic 1.0 - Sun 03. March 1996
=======================================
WWW-JPEG tool


May be you remember the NeXT app CompressionLab (Tak Hosoi), which
was delivered with former NEXTSTEP releases. It never came as MAB,
therefor we made a MAB version.
Finally we found that it could be useful too supporting the WWW-jpeg
format.

You can open a TIFF image and compress it in several formats. In
a second view you get the output result and an idea of the final
quality. Some information about sizes and compression speed are
shown in the information area.

This way you can optimize to find the best size/quality ratio for WEB
jpeg images.
