Of course there are a pro version at $99, and a “server” version for $199/month…much more expensive for additional workflow benefits. Actually, combing over their website, they scrupulously avoid making that exact claim, but that is certainly the implication, and at $29 for the base version, it seems like a relatively low cost for the benefit. Well along comes JEPEGmini with just that promise! JPEGmini claims to reduce the size of the image, faster, with better quality than you can using a normal Photoshop centric workflow. Its kind of like VHS vs Betamax (millennials should Google this) – a basically inferior method of compression stays in use simply because everyone is already using it, thank you very much! Can we make a better jpeg using the exact same standard, so that it is easily integrated into your workflow, and still universally accepted? The plain-Jane jpeg is still the format of choice when it comes to photographic images on the internet. Why shouldn’t there be a better jpeg? Of course there already is a superior image compression format-its available inside Photoshop, no less, and its called jpeg 2000 (because it was invented way back in the year 2000.) Unfortunately, jpeg 2000 is largely ignored by just about everyone. Yes… someone decided that what the world really needs is another way to generate jpegs, one that doesn’t suck! Well… nothing really wrong with that idea, other than the part that jpegs suck… but I’m getting ahead of myself here. I was recently invited to test out a new software, plugin and stand-alone, for generating jpegs. This just keeps things really personal and allows you to tell them how grateful you were for their business.įourthly, the box that it all goes into is by the amazing WoodenBanana. They have all sorts of customization available as far as sizes of the box as well as how the box opens (hinge or slide).JPEGmini comes as a stand-alone app & as plugins for Photoshop & Lightroom.

Thirdly, I make sure to include printing recommendations (as I don’t offer printing services) as well as a note from me thanking them for allowing me to be a part of their big day.

This just reiterates to your client how important it is to print their images! This little preview gets them excited about what they’re about to view on the USB as well as it gives them something to frame immediately! Secondly, I ALWAYS include a few prints of my favourites from the wedding. They’re fast and available in many sizes! (I’ve recently discovered JPEGmini and I think I can probably purchase smaller USB’s because of it, but I have been using the 16GB USB’s now for the better part of three years.) Definitely check them out if you’re in need of purchasing USB’s! I can’t stress this enough! I have gone to great lengths to make sure that the final product I deliver to my clients is on brand and looks great and I wanted to share with you folks the companies I use in my product packaging for weddings! I changed my final delivery to clients about three years ago and it really has made the world of a difference in leaving a good final impression of my work.įirst off, lets start with the USB! I use Branded Flash Drives by USB Memory Direct and I have absolutely LOVED them! I have done both the laser and the stamping and I can’t say I have a preference one to the next, but what I can say is that I love how my logo stands out so well with the stamping that USB Memory Direct offers. If you have taken my business tutorial, you will have learned about the importance of branding for your business. I have been meaning to create this post for the better part of four months now, so I’m so pleased to finally share it with you all!
