Blubox v4 image compressions software

Press Release:

Ever wondered what happens when you zip a digital photograph? Try it and you are guaranteed to be surprised by the fact that very little happens. ZIP - the ubiquitous compression solution originally designed for PC nearly 20 years ago, is simply not designed to compress or secure the rich media file formats of the 21st century.

Launched by Blubox Software Limited Blubox V4 is the world’s most advanced software compression application for digital images available today. Designed to use a variety of compression algorithms Blubox supports all Zip formats, Blubox offers unprecedented compression of digital photograph formats, with bullet proof security.

Blubox is an exciting new software application which combines state of the art data compression technology with industry standard encryption. Blubox has been designed for the digital camera and Internet consumer market; allowing a user to dramatically improve the digital photo sharing experience over the Internet and ensuring the protection of private and personal information. Blubox users can:

• Compress photos by up to 95% without sacrificing picture quality
• Encrypt and protect pictures using 256-bit AES encryption technology
• Dramatically reduce the time taken to send photos by email and FTP. Send a whole album in the time it usually takes to email a couple of photos!
• Unlike other compression products, Blubox lets you view pictures while they are still compressed and encrypted
• Print directly from within the Blubox program or extract and then print
• Organise and store photos inside Blubox archives saving disk space and protecting private information from intruders
• Extract images back to their original file format for use in other programs

Too many of today’s computer and Internet users are getting their data caught in the Zipper! Users habitually zip digital photographs believing that they are reducing the digital photo file size for easier Internet use...this is simply not the case. For most, getting caught in the zipper can be an embarrassing and sometimes painful experience.

For most PC users, the file formats that usually require compression are the memory hungry digital photos and video files. The unprecedented growth of digital image file sizes over the last three years has been partly driven by the consumer’s desire for higher megapixel CCD capacity for their personal digital cameras and mobile phones. Zip provides acceptable compression for text based files, but has been unable to cope with the demands of the modern file formats.

By storing digital images in a Blubox container the user is ensuring that these priceless memories are held in a protected stable digital environment suitable for efficient storage and communication.

I've learned so much from this site over the past couple of years I'm now seriously disappointed in some of my shots with which I would have been over the moon a while back. I suppose that's progress. :0) Ian kit list Nikon D200, Nikkor 18-2000VR, Nikkor 60mm ...

Just downloaded the trial. It works well, particularly on jpeg (less so on PSD) although a little slow. The big problem is going to be getting clients to the stage that they can actually uncompress them.
