Reduce link size,
optimize resolution
LinkOptimizer automatically reduces image resolution, scales and crops links in Photoshop based on their dimensions in the InDesign document and the target resolution you specify, then reimports them into InDesign at 100% scale.
This can result in a dramatic reduction in image file size, particularly valuable as the cost of high-capacity storage continues to increase.
Convert colors and more
-convert colors to CMYK, RGB and Grayscale
-assign ICC profile
-apply sharpening filters
-merge and delete layers, flatten image
Convert image formats
Automatically convert linked images into desired file formats (JPEG > TIFF, PNG > PSD etc.) with various conversion settings.
Backup and rename images
With LinkOptimizer, your files are always safe: you can either backup original images, or work with their copies. You can also optimize links for external use, such as web design, without relinking them back to InDesign at all.
