ArtOptimizer 1.0

ArtOptimizer is LinkOptimizer for Adobe Illustrator. If you familiar with my LinkOptimizer for InDesign then you already know what ArtOptimizer does (with some exceptions, see below) and how to use it
ArtOptimizer is a tool created for Adobe Illustrator that reduces the size of linked images by eliminating excessive image data.
ArtOptimizer will automatically reduce the image resolution and scale the images in Photoshop according to their dimensions in the Illustrator document and the target resolution specified, and reimport them to Illustrator at 100%.
ArtOptimizer also lets you automatically convert image colors and apply Photoshop sharpening filters.
ArtOptimizer is a standalone application. It processes the current frontmost document of Illustrator CS or CS2.
Illustrator provides much more limited information about its documents than InDesign, which leads to several differences between LinkOptimizer and ArtOptimizer:
- ArtOptimizer wont crop the images,
- users will need to make sure therere no modified links in Illustrator - ArtOptimizer wont check the link status,
- only the following image formats are supported: llustrator CS2 - EPS, TIFF, PSD, JPEG; Illustrator CS - EPS, PSD.
