Photo Converter

Postby Ken » Sat Nov 10, 2007 8:55 am

Not directly an "ATV" product....but anyone who takes and posts photos, this program is the bomb.

Advanced Batch Converter:

http://www.batchconverter.com/


Worth buying....can pre-setup your parameters and it will automatically, rename, watermark, resize (landscape and Portrait) all at the same time. Definitely sped up my process.

I also installed Vista 64bit....doing the photos is SUPER easy now since Vista can resize the thumbnails on the fly, so now I don't need to look at each photo individually, in order to know what it is about.

What a difference a motherboard switch can do. :)

I don't use it. I use Firefox, because it's bundled with Dreamweaver. However, you can't control the photos like this program.

If you look at this...you have WAY more control.

That doesn't make any sense - firefox is not bundled with anything - its a free app from mozilla.org and is a browser.

Photoshop (adobe) is a standalone app or in the creative design or web suite.

Dreamweaver is a standalone app as well also available in the creative -design or web suite as well.

As far as Dreamweaver, when it was still owned by Macromedia - it used to come bundled in a web suite with Fireworks a vector editing app much like Image ready from Adobe.

Is that what you meant? :D

:shock:

Yeah..I meant FireWORKS. No...Fireworks is the photoshop equivalent. Freehand, is the Vector software. The whole package is Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Freehand and of course, Flash.

That's what happens, you talk about FireWORKS while using FIREFOX.:oops:

Here's some shots. Eric (Grizzlyguy) turned me on to it. It saves me about 10-20 minutes doing the ATV photos. Even more time, if I have 3 or 4 camera shooters...cause now I can auto rename them in order, so the person with the most photos is in the front and least later in the window. So I scroll a lot less.

Just pull over the pictures you want. Set the renaming, to anything.

Set the JPG compression to your liking.

Here's the best part...you tell it, which pictures to shrink, and how to do it. So you don't have to do all the Landscape first, then the portrait.

Add stuff like watermarks, effects..
Image

Save that setup to use over and over.

hit start and it knocks out about 100 pictures in 30 seconds.
