I contacted them to consider making it a plug-in for, say, Photoshop. The reason I ask: As a developer, I process hundreds of images a day at times for web use. I could see this tool having much wider appeal if it could be used as either a standalone product using a batch process, or a plug-in for Photoshop.As far as the human perception comment: My tests indicate a superior pixel end result. Clients, visitors to their sites will not have the finer points of this on their mind. Only that necessary colors match their corporate ID, and that printed pages yield proper results.

If I need to upload the images the tool is worthless in practical use! If I could, say when a user uploads an image, auto-optimize it - that would be a great benefit!

I just tried it and took out 30% of my images with no quality losses. Just don't forget to rename your images afterwords :) Excellent tool.
