Save for Web plug-in using RIOT (Radical Image Optimization Tool)
November 26, 2009 - 18:57 — luciansabo
Radical Image Optimization Tool (RIOT for short) is a free image optimizer that will let you to visually adjust compression parameters while keeping minimum filesize.
It uses with a side by side (dual view) or single view interface to compare the original with the optimized image in real time and instantly see the resulting file size.
It is lightweight, fast and simple to use, yet powerful for advanced users. You will be able to control compression, number of colors, metadata settings and much more, and select image format (JPG, GIF or PNG) for your output file.
Main features:- open many image types including rare/scientific types
- save and optimize JPEG, GIF and PNG with a simple, clean user interface
- works in dual view: (original – optimized image) or single view (optimized image). Automatic preview of resulting image
- in-place compare function (alternativelly display the original image over the optimized image to notice small pixel changes)
- compress files to desired filesize threshold
- fast processing (all is done in memory); see instant results including resulting filesize
- batch support (process multiple files at once)
- transparency handling options
- decide if you want to keep metadata (comments, IPTC, Adobe XMP, EXIF profiles, ICC profiles). Unsupported metadata is removed
- transfer metadata between image formats (destination format must support them)
- common tools: pan and zoom, rotate, flip
- basic image adjustments: brightness, contrast, gamma, invert
- visually reduce number of unique colors for PNG and GIF images in order to reduce filesize (two quantization methods are available: Xiaolin Wu and NeuQuant neural net)
- resize image by using well known resample filters (ex: Lanczos3, Catmull Rom, Bicubic, and others)
- out-of-the-box support for external PNG optimizers (optipng, pngout, etc)
- the compression and the results are comparable to those of commercial products, even higher.
- Adaptive logarithmic tone mapping algorithm (Drago) used for HDR images
- common bitmap images as well as Adobe Photoshop PSD files
- popular HDR formats and RAW camera images
- rare/scientific types (up to 128 bpp, integer and floating point)

0.4.1 not 4.1
That's right, you don't need to update the GIMP plugin itself, which has the only task to feed RIOT with the correct image (some image types not supported).
Thank you for your support and appreciation. That means a lot.
You made just a little mistake: version 0.4.1 was released not 4.1 :)
Again thanks Lucian; sorry
Again thanks Lucian; sorry about forgetting the "0.". Mentioned that at GIMPTalk too. lol

RIOT 4.1 has just been
RIOT 4.1 has just been released. The GIMP Plugin itself does not need to be changed. What you need to do is copy the Irfanview zip package and then extract riot.dll and freeimage.dll and place both these in your GIMP plugin. When you first run GIMP, you might see error messages, but just ignor them. Now you have RIOT 4.1. Been using this plugin for over a year now (with Irfanview well before GIMP), but had installed the GIMP version and have used it for several months now. I highly recommend this gem. Can't beat the price either. :)

Great plugin, but what about Ubuntu / Linux?
Hi, love the plugin - I've had it in use on my XP install and enjoyed it many times. Now, since that system went belly-up I've had to buy a new system, which sadly came with Windows 7 and so I quickly sanitized that disk by switching over to Ubuntu AMD64. To the point: here I am, looking to install that wonderful RIOT plugin for my favorite image editor, and... Now is when I realize that it runs only on Windows! Is there another way to get it going on a Linux / Ubuntu box?
RIOT on Linux
Nope, sorry :( RIOT is a native Windows DLL and it does not run on Linux.
I don't plan to create a native Linux build.
The standalone RIOT package can run on Linux using Wine, though.
Never mind...
I see the RIOT plugin is developed for the Windows environment. For Ubuntu users, use synaptic or apt-get to install the gimp-plugin-registry package which will at least provide an alternative: the 'Save for web' plugin. Not as neat as the RIOT plugin, but better than the proverbial poke in the eye.
Save for web (not via RIOT)

Thanks - you beat me to it.

Bonjour,
It is removed.
The libraries used by GIMP
The GIMP libraries used by GIMP plug-ins are licensed under the GNU LGPL. So the fact that something is a GIMP plug-in does not require it to be licensed under the GNU GPL.
License
Bonjour Schumaml,
Thank you for the reply.
GPL licence
In fact the plugin itself is licensed under GPL v2. The source-code is included in the package.
On the other hand, RIOT is freeware, but with a closed source.
Had to extract the
Had to extract the FreeImage.dll from your RIOT.exe package but it did not have the riot.dll, so I used the one from Irfanview. Otherwise, your plugin works great (even better then Irfanview since I now have transparancy option which is cool). I would add that you might want to include a GIMP dll zip package on your site to make the process easier. Keep up the good work by the way. :)
installation
The installation may be confusing at start, but the instructions are provided here and also in the readme file.
This is only the GIMP plug-in. You need to download the DLL package of RIOT to make it work.
The DLL package can be downloaded directly from here:
http://download.criosweb.ro/download.php?sid=R-dll
installation and packadging
If the dll are strictly needed may be a good idea to include them in the zip with the plugin exe, would make install easier
At least if there are no problem with the license
full package available
Now there is a file named Full package (GIMP plugin + Riot.dll 0.3.5).zip you can download from here.
New version available (0.4) with Batch Optimizer
The long expected new version of RIOT – 0.4 is finally available. This version contains very interesting new features and improvements.
More info here:
