JPEG Disk Optimizer version 2.6 adds powerful image enhancement facilities. The -c switch allows you to remove spots (or dead pixels) and gaussian noise from the image. This can significantly improve the appearance of the image as well as make the image smaller:

You can use the -ca switch to achieve powerful cleaning effects. Usually it is best to experiment with settings for each image. Some examples are given here to show the results that can be achieved.

JPEG Disk Optimizer includes the ability to add Digimarc invisible digital watermarks.
At their most basic level, watermarked images are "marked" as uniquely yours. They communicate that the image is copyrighted. Watermarked images also increase e-commerce and online marketing opportunities because their special embedded code actually allows them to do things. Digimarc images can:
Anyone who licenses or publishes images, or uses them in marketing campaigns can benefit from Digimarc watermarking. A national museum currently uses them to communicate ownership of its often-copied artwork. A record company tracks the use of its musicians' photographs throughout the Internet. A major stock photo agency embeds watermarks that link to their company name and contact information into all their digital photos. Digimarc watermarked images serve as "mini ads" for their company.
How noise reduction improves Digimarc Watermarking
Digimarc invisible watermarks are not in fact fully invisible but add what looks like noise to the image. The greater the intensity and durability of the watermark the more visible the noise will look.
xat.com's noise reduction technology can help you minimise the appearance of the watermark and also increase the intensity of watermark you use.
The images below show enlarged areas of the same image with different settings.
You can see that image D is considerably more noisy as it contains noise from the original image added to the watermarking signal.
Image C and D contain the same intensity of watermark so image C has would allow for increased watermarking intensity to give your image greater protection.
As a bonus image C will be easier to compress than image D and will have a smaller file size.

JPEG Disk Optimizer 3.10 and above includes the ability to place another picture on the images and to add text to the image e.g:
In the above image, an xat.com logo has been placed over most of the image as a very transparent watermark and the file name has been added to the top right hand corner. Note that in this case an alpha channel is used to make parts of the logo fully transparent.

JPEG Disk Optimizer is available in two versions, a full version and a standard version (without MagiCompression and noise reduction).
Please click on the purchase link for pricing.
Several Unix versions of JPEG Disk Optimizer are available including Solaris, BSD and Linux. See the above links for the fully working commercial demo download.
Note that the Unix version has some restricted features, e.g. it does not yet support Digimarc Watermarking, HTML generation or GIF/PNG compression.
