Please make a test directory of images for this exercise - keep your originals safe.
This Is The Workflow We Recommend For Preparing JPG Images For Uploading
- Open a test JPG image in Photoshop and resize it to 750 pixels wide. Check the image height that Photoshop calculates to maintain the width to height ratio. As an example, on a Nikon D2X this will be 498 pixels. This will always be the JPG height for this particular camera. Keep this "pixel height" number handy. See recommended jpg upload sizes for other cameras here.
- In Photoshop go to File/Scripts/ImageProcessor.
- Select the folder that contains the JPG images you want to upload.
- Select the location to save processed images. Make this a subfolder which we will call shootdate_750 (eg. 20062006_750). We add the suffix 750 because all jpgs in this folder will be 750 pixels wide.
- Tick Save As JPEG and Resize To Fit
- Set the width to 750 pixels.
- Set the height to the "pixel height" number you derived above. For a Nikon D2X as an example, this will be 498 pixels.
- Set the JPEG Quality class="five" to a MAXIMUM of 4. (If you set it higher your images will take longer to upload and will quickly consume your bandwidth and available space. We are trying to achieve uploadable images of a maximum density of around or less than 100k to 125k.
- Tick "Include ICC Profile"
- Hit "Run"
- The new jpg images that Photoshop generates with the _750 suffix will be the images that you upload to this website.
