Batch Photo 2 Data URI Lite For .NET 2_3 1.72

Software to easily embedd images into html documents (instead of linking to them), by use of the data uri (a.k.a. datauri) scheme, with the following aims:
1) making html pages with small images more efficient to download (by avoiding making a separate request per image to display);
2) making html newsletters look ok, when the user has configured its email reader not to download remote content (in order to maintain his privacy); and
3) allowing the creation of error pages that correctly display images (without incurring in second-error problems when the error page does not refer to the base (or, even, expected) url).
Besides aiming helping one into easily embedding images in html (here document), this software also aims helping one into easily batch convert images in a post-editing phase.
Specifically, this software allows one to convert the file format of images, their dimensions, their contrast, and their brightness; it also allows one to specify that the format that originates the smaller file-size is the one that is to be output.
Opens images of type bmp, jpeg, png, and tiff, whether or not they are embedded in a data uri (a.k.a. data uri scheme or datauri scheme).
The standard (a.k.a. Lite) version of the program saves images as either 24bpp or 32bpp; the professional (a.k.a. Pro) version of the program counts the colors of the image in order to choose what is the format that can be used (1bpp, 4bpp, 8bpp, 24bpp, or 32bpp) to generate the smallest file size without loss of quality.
The program is batch-based, meaning that as soon as the settings are chosen they can be applied to as many files as you wish - you just have to let it process all of them.
Last but not least, the program has been created to be portable, thus, it does not require any installation at all and, as so, can be executed from a pen-drive.
