Hijacking this thread for a question:

The tutorials say in the last step to use "Smush It" (http://www.smushit.com/ysmush.it/) to reduce the size of the final CDArt. Unfortunately Yahoo seems to have switched this service off. Is there any other good free alternative ?

I found Optimizilla (http://optimizilla.com) quite ok, but it seems to change the file to indexed colors and sometimes the colors are a bit pixelated after the compressing. An other alternative I found was Kraken (https://kraken.io/web-interface), but it has a upload size of 1MB.

Which sites do you use as an alternative to Smush it ?
