optipng is already listed there with an example (-o5). Use it instead. fwiw I usually used 'pngcrush -brute infile outfile', but these days I mostly use optipng as it seems (anecdotally) slightly better. There are many roads to Rome, so take your pick. n.b. (at every opportunity :) it is not worth checking in image replacements which are only 1-2% smaller, it just eats up space in the SVN database (due to retained file history, files are never removed even when replaced, lots of iterations of binary files just causes backend database bloat). Almost all pngs in the svn older than a few months have already been crushed. You can get them smaller by making them a palette image or reducing the bit depth, at the cost of perhaps-noticeable (perhaps-not) quality. Stuff with a lot of shading or satellite imagery should perhaps be .jpg, stuff with many spans of solid color should be .png. cheers, Hamish _______________________________________________ Live-demo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo http://live.osgeo.org http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc
