Thanks for your response … I presume you are related to CoolUtils … so …
— convert to [ Web Optimise ] …
—- do you mean small file size,
—- or do you mean interleaving,
—- or do you mean immediately draws a minimum, low resolution full-image scan pass on screen while the higher resolution scan information arrives and draws in afterwards,
—- or do you mean a low resolution image is included for immediate display while a larger image loads?
— versus the “optimize” option, meaning what, exactly?
— versus convert to [ WebP ] …? ( more on what WebP is and is not, “optimize” wise at
https ://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/WebP
and https ://developers.google. com/speed/webp/ )
On the one hand, I see CoolUtils just throwing in as many converters as possible to be all-inclusive, and let the user decide what to do based on their own external demands and their own level of understanding of external definitions of file formats.
On the other hand, since “optimize” shows up as an option during some conversions, it makes sense for CoolUtils to specifically explain what “optimize” means to CoolUtils.
From your comment, I think you mean that “optimize” means “smallest JPEG / PNG with equivalent SSim structural similarity quality index”, similar to what Beamr Imaging JPEGmini and other competitive programs offer for smallest JPEG file size, but because you mention Google, and Google prefers WebP, not JPEG, now I’m more confused as to what “optimize” means to CoolUtils.
Can you or someone at CoolUtils clarify or refer to a page on the web or in an instruction resource as to the meaning of “optimize” to CoolUtils as an option withing some Total Image Converter conversions?
Thanks.
And can someone at CoolUtils confirm that you do not offer to convert to DNg?
Thanks again.

PS — For me, the program is totally locked and cannot accomplish anything, no error message, just becomes unresponsive ( Windows 7-64 ), I may have to totally uninstall and reinstall it to try any further tests.

And, folks, “raw” is “raw”, not “RAW”, it is not an abbreviation of R-something A-something W-something, as JPEG, TIFF and others are abbreviations, “raw” just means “undeveloped” / uncooked, so to speak … making Adobe’s “DNg” “digital negative” a misnomer since a negative is developed, cooked, so to speak, yet the DNg file format is for raw, undeveloped, uncooked, so to speak, digital image file content … thanks, Adobe, for arbitrary and unnecessary confusion.
