That description was taken from a we site to illustrate that converting files is indeed optimizing photos.

The poster that I sent that to said that optimizing and file conversion were not the same.

I don't think it is the same. It could be, but not necessarily. Optimizing would be a conversion, but conversion of a file could be many things, optimizing being just one of them.

Please post a link, I'd like to take a look at the source of the info.

Thanks

Picture optimization is simply removing redundant pixels or removing the amount of them. You can do it by reducing the size of the image or use a program that will change toe format. In this instance we were discussing optimizing a tiff file.

The only ways to do it are to adjust the image size or convert it to a different format. .jpg's are to pictures as mp3's are to music, they are compressed files. Both formats are simply compressed, optimized file with minimal quality loss. That is way it is "optimal"

This was my source link, there are thousands of them out there.
