Zevrix Solutions Releases ArtOptimizer for Reducing Linked Image Size in Adobe Illustrator Documents

PRESS RELEASE

Toronto (ON), Canada–MARCH 9, 2007–Zevrix Solutions today announced the release of ArtOptimizer, a work­flow automa­tion solu­tion for reduc­ing the size of images linked to Adobe Illustrator document.

ArtOptimizer will help users save valu­able stor­age space, time and reduce pro­duc­tion costs by elim­i­nat­ing exces­sive image data. The pro­gram will reduce the size of linked images whose effec­tive res­o­lu­tion is high­er than user defined tar­get resolution.
ArtOptimizer will open images in Adobe Photoshop, auto­mat­i­cal­ly reduce their res­o­lu­tion, and scale the images accord­ing to their dimen­sions in Illustrator doc­u­ment. ArtOptimizer will then reim­port the images into Illustrator doc­u­ment at 100% in their pre­cise position.

ArtOptimizer will save, depend­ing on a project, hours and even days of pro­duc­tion time it could take to per­form this task manually.
Publishing hous­es, design firms, print­ers, and ser­vice bureaus of any size will dra­mat­i­cal­ly ben­e­fit from using ArtOptimizer – whether they out­put their files direct­ly from Illustrator or place them in InDesign of QuarkXPress doc­u­ments. ArtOptimizer will help the users in a vari­ety of ways:

-sav­ing valu­able hard dri­ve and back­up stor­age space, ‑increas­ing doc­u­ment manip­u­la­tion speed – whether it’s sav­ing, print­ing or cre­at­ing PDF files, ‑sav­ing valu­able time when trans­fer­ring jobs to out­side sources, ‑reduc­ing the job cost through faster pro­cess­ing by ser­vice providers, ‑speed­ing up the over­all job turnaround.

ArtOptimizer also allows users to back up orig­i­nal images before pro­cess­ing, change image col­or mode, apply sharp­en­ing fil­ters and flat­ten lay­ered files.
