This program is used to resize and rename images for the web.
To FTP or e-mail pictures to our technical staff please resize them to a width of 800px. The height will take care of itself. To do this follow these steps.
In the left panel move to the directory or directories containing the pictures you want to re-size. All the pictures do not have to be in the same directory you can open one directory add the pictures then go to another and add pictures from there.
Either select ( CTRL-Right Click) some files and then select Add or select Add All to add the entire directory.
Click on the arrows to the right of the 'Output Format' box to access the drop down menu (above) select either JPEG format or PNG format. PNG (Portable Network Graphics files are larger but re-size with better resolution. Either is acceptable.
Now click on 'Select' to the right of the 'Output Folder' box and navigate to the directory where you want to store the selected files. It is bets to create a new directory just for the re-sized pictures which you can delete after you have uploaded the pictures. I have created one here called FTP
Now click on the box beside 'Use Advanced Options ...' and then click on 'Advanced Options'
Clicking on 'Advanced Options' brings up a screen like this. Note the ten tabs across the top - the green ball indicates that options have been selected on that page. To bring up the resizing options click on the resize tab and then click the box beside Resize at the upper left.
The Resize options pages changes to look like this. To send pictures to our Web technicians select the settings as shown in the image above. When you are done click on the OK button (lower right)
Unless you wish to rename files you can leave that box unchecked. The only other item you might want to check is to click on the 'Settings' button to the right of the 'Output Format' line.
For JPEG and files set and save as above
Once all this is done simply click on 'Convert'
Conversion progress is shown on this page which pops up once you click convert. Notice that he original pictures were about 43MB in total but resized in JPEG format were reduced to 5.35 MB or about 11% of the original size.
