I am trying it and they were not lying about the processing times... 19 minutes and 4.5 GB ram later it is still running on 18MPix image...
Ouch! Think I'll give up on that one then.
Can I ask what you guys normally do to compress large images for web? Normally I do it manually through the "save for web" in PS or if I have a bunch, I drag 'n drop to tinyjpg.com
Not getting a satisfying results on this set of images though. I'm on like 0.5mb for a 2k jpg image for a full screen landingpage. Curious if any one is using some other compression method available?
