Recommended workflow for professional photographers?
-
Being a professional photographer for nearly 20 years I wish to display my JPEG images in the highest quality with file sizes as small as possible.
I installed WP Retina 2x: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-retina-2x/ for I choose to have HD images available for site visitors with an Retina device. In result my uploaded images are respectively 1920 x 1280 px (standard) and 3840 x 2560 px (Retina Ready @2x) which I manually downsize from the Full size originals (5000+ px)Question #1: I wonder if it’s better to use Photoshop’s compression method ‘Save for Web’ first before having EWWW Image Optimizer doing the job? I mean: setting the parameters in Photoshop manually and judging the image quality by the eye is preferable, isn’t it?
On the other hand EWWW might be built to perform better without any preparations by third parties software in advance. Please advise !
Question #2: With ‘ExifTool’ (by Phil Harvey) http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ I can remove EXIF Data partially from JPEG files to keep the file sizes to a minimum. Of course I like to keep important EXIF Data – like copyright and contact info – in my images, but want to get rid of all other junk. Is EWWW Image Optimize leaving the EXIF Data I left to stay intact or is it cleaning it all?
Looking forward to your comment !
