| All tests results also apply
to Satori FilmFX / FilmFX64 These tests were also repeated using the JPEG format rather than GIF, but it was decided not to publish the figures obtained because of problems assessing image quality. The JPEG tests indicated that file sizes were all very similar for equivalent quality, with Satori producing slightly smaller files.
Conclusion Satori WebFX 2000 & Macromedia Fireworks consistently performed well in all tests. Images exported by either product were highly optimized (small file size) but also maintained the highest image quality compared to the other products under test After taking all test results into consideration, Satori WebFX 2000 was found to be placed best overall. |
