Members techristian Posted July 21, 2014 Members Share Posted July 21, 2014 My wife took at least 80-40 (some duplicates) high quality photos at NAMM. They are all 5mb in size or larger. What is the best way to display all of them here without converting them all to lossy format?? PhotoBucket? Flickr? They are occupying 430 mb in a single folder on this computer.

Members UstadKhanAli Posted July 21, 2014 Members Share Posted July 21, 2014 Flickr works fine for stuff like that. But I would convert it to a lossy format, such as JPG. You can also do PNG, as that retains much more of the image, and I believe PNG-24 is not conisdered lossy, IIRC. RAW and TIFF formats are too large for general web viewing, although Flickr may convert it to something more "viewable" automatically anyway. I hope this helps.

Phil O'Keefe Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Great comments from our resident photo expert! Yeah, I'd just put them up on Flickr or Photobucket, then embed the links here to display them. I wasn't able to attend Summer NAMM, so I am definitely looking forward to checking your pics out Dan.

Members techristian Posted July 21, 2014 Author Members Share Posted July 21, 2014 Thanks Phil I was also asking Craig about BATCH WATERMARKING....because my wife did such a great job and I wanted her to take all of the credit that she deserves. I know it can be done with PhotoShop , but I'll have to check out The Gimp to see if it can also do the job. UstadKhanAli ...can you help ??????

Members UstadKhanAli Posted July 21, 2014 Members Share Posted July 21, 2014 I don't use batch watermarking, so I am the wrong person to ask. I change the opacity and positioning on each photo, depending where it looks best compositionally and where you can best read it, so unless they can invent a Photoshop action that takes all those things into consideration, I'm going to continue doing mine "by hand", as much of a pain in the rear as that is. You probably will want to look for either Photoshop actions or software that does this for you. There are some free ones out there. Good luck with this.

Members techristian Posted July 22, 2014 Author Members Share Posted July 22, 2014 I found an instruction link for batch operations with Gimp (a free graphic manipulator) http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UstadKhanAli Posted July 22, 2014 Members Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yeah, that's the kind of thing you have to look for. Actions, batch processing, automated.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members techristian Posted July 23, 2014 Author Members Share Posted July 23, 2014 I decided that watermarkwas too much work so I just shrunk the pictures and set upa web page. Here they are. >>>>> http://teachmedrums.com/nam2014.html I also have some video that she did with her nikon as well. It is in *.mov format and won't play audio for some reason, but when uploaded to youtube works fine. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UstadKhanAli Posted July 23, 2014 Members Share Posted July 23, 2014 Watermarks are very time-consuming. So is processing photos. I do what I have to do. Thanks for sharing the photos!!! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! And as usual, you were at the World's Fastest Drummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
