Computer Question: Image/Graphic Conversion and Email Blackout in Webpage

Photoscape is a free software package that does batch editing, creates animated gifs, makes collages, etc. Pretty nice.

Here's a sample command line conversion script for Irfanview:

C:\Program Files\IrfanView>i_view32.exe c:\temp8\*.jpg /resize=(500,750) /dpi=(300,300) /resample /convert=c:\temp9\*.jpg

It will convert all jpg files in c:\temp8 to jpg files in temp9, resizing them to 500x750 at 300x300 DPI. The /resample switch provides better quality.

100% agree. ImageMagick is what you want.

[Mortrey]

bookmarked for info.

The fastest way to do that is to outsource it. You could probably have a week’s worth done (and done well) for about 30 bucks.

See if this fits the need and you can select multiple photos to do at once.

[JSteff]

Oh yes it is free too!

Who is giving you low resolution images to start with? Get that fixed and your problem is done.

How is it that you are getting such low resolution images?

If the source and target dimensions are constant, this is an easy batch operation for Photoshop which can process the contents of directories/folders.

GraphicConverter on the Mac will do this quite expeditiously. I think it’s only $25 or so.

What you need is command-line image processing.

You'll have to do some reading, and it'll be a pain to set up if you're not used to the command line. But, once you get it right, your troubles will be over.

As in, if your script doesn't do the right thing, you fix your script and re-run it. Much easier than redoing umpteen dozen mouse gestures over again, slightly differently.

search for “obscure email address in html” (without quotes) in your internet search engine and pick one.

It's an older template and the company no longer is in business (that I'm aware of) and was/is British so I can't pay anyone to send me a code to fix it.

I blame the metric system.

But seriesly, could it be that the font color for displaying your e-mail address is the same as the page's background color? If so, changing one or the other would help display the address.

Agree with NoLibZone:

IRFanView

Batch conversions are quick and easy, and the program is free.

FWIW, you CAN create macros/actions in Photoshop.

Batch conversion in Photoshop? Guess I still don't know the program as well as I thought I did. But I'll check out Lightroom.

If I may ask, where is the batch conversion in Photoshop? Since I can't install any additional programs at work that may be my only hope, unless I do them all at home.

[ducttape45]

Disregard my last post. Just saw your other posting.

[ducttape45]

I’ve tried Format Factory and it doesn’t work, plus it freezes up a lot.

[ducttape45]

Unfortunately, that is not an option. I don’t think I could justify the cost to my cost center manager, even though it is only 30 bucks. The Air Force is funny that way.
