Random Code Inspiration Volume 2
Image-shrinker is a simple, easy to use open source tool for shrinking images. Under the hood it uses pngquant, mozjpg, SVGO, and gifsicle. You can also install these tools individually if you need to compress some images. I often use pngquantafter exporting PNGs for web projects from Figma or similar tools. I literally run it like this:. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago
keeping collection size down (for ankiweb) when needing lots of image cards/notes
Searching more I found https://pngquant.org/ which I could add to my bulk workflow to make most png's approach the jpeg size. Source: 11 months ago
screen capture/snapshot utility with image optimization support/configurability
But this did prompt me to do some searching, and I see https://pngquant.org/ which seems to achieve jpeg like size reduction while maintaining the file as a png. One difference they note is that this method will typically preserve sharp edges better than jpeg (which is probably a strong plus for my type of use case). Source: 11 months ago
Exported png image with color-to-alpha edit is huge
Pngquant is also great for shaving filesizes down, but unlike oxipng, it's explicitly lossy. It'll reduce colors and even dither, but it will try to keep an image visually similar. Https://pngquant.org/. Source: over 1 year ago

Is there really no way to edit all layers at once? Do I seriously have to make colour corrections on every single individual layer?
Try BIMP, it's a plug-in that lets you batch edit your images. Website: https://alessandrofrancesconi.it/projects/bimp/ GitHub: https://github.com/alessandrofrancesconi/gimp-plugin-bimp/releases/tag/v2.6. Source: 10 months ago
Anyone else use their PSP to read manga?
I run manga folders through GIMP with the batch plugin. Convert them to baseline JPGs with a width of 480, or double if they have a lot of small text and you want to zoom in on each individual panel. Put the folders on your PSP, and in the photo viewer options change the 'view mode' to stay zoomed on pages. Source: about 1 year ago
