:help: please.

Have a couple of thousand JPEGs to be uploaded to Zenfolio website today. They were going to be available for customer download, but BT's new fibre-optical cables are playing up and I've been told to expect intermittent connections for several days! :bang:

So .... Plan B: Resize images for web-viewing. Customers can download by the usual method with orders being followed up with the full-sized JPEGs by email.

Wasn't planning for this, so a couple of questions: recommended size for web-viewing? quickest way to batch process the resizing (images are in 20 separate folders and I have PS4)?.

:thankyou:

thanks - downloading now.

edit A 1.4MB file and I can't even get enough bandwidth to download it! Trying again..
 
Got it

what's a good size size for web-use? smallest possible to show something about 6x4 onscreen?

Do you want me to post a floppy of it? Might be quicker. :lol:
 
Don't web browsers resize?

I am not sure what you mean.

If you using Zenfolio then the images being viewed will auto resize to whatever size screen they are being viewed on so there is no scrolling necessary ( a nice point about using Zen). So the question is how do you want them to be displayed and what size monitor screens do you want to accommodate for your customers. :)
 
For batch resizing fotosizer seems to work well and pretty quickly as well :)
 
sorry for late replies -- dropped again...

re zenfolio resize, at this stage I want to make the smallest resize that will show with an acceptable viewing size onscreen.

my priority is to get them up for viewing - because connection drops so often...
 
On here the longest edge has to be 800px or less so why not go for something like this or smaller maybe 600px

Resize one in PS and save for web at about 70-80% quality, this will create a pretty small file for upload. Record it as an action and and then just run this action on all your photos from Bridge.
 
thanks all - i'm running out of time and bb connection has dropped 4 times in the time this thread has been alive - bt engineer booked for tomorrow a.m. (free) as their checks now suggest it might be a wiring problem here ... if you hear nothing else from me today, you'll know why. thanks again
