Please Login to Remove!

1. Go here and download the Resize! program (free).
http://kstudio.net/dlpages/rewin.html

2. Install it.

3. Go to www.picsearch.com, www.google.com and any other search engine you like, go into preferences or advanced preferences (depending on engine) and set to search for large images.

4. Run searches for anything you are interested in.

5. Save all the images you like to a new folder somewhere on your computer - be sure they are all in the same folder together because the program resizes all the images in that folder. So you will want to make a new folder for each batch of images. I have been doing them in categories - cars, St. Pat's Day, Sports, etc., whatever you want.

6. Open Resize! and set the JPEG Quality to Excellent (90), then go to Independent Resizing and set to 320 width and 240 height (pixels).

7. Go to Folder Select and choose thet folder with the saved images in it.

8. Hit Go!

9. The program will make another folder with the same name, but with the size dimensions next to it adjacent to the original folder.

10. Upload them all at once to Photobucket.com using the multiple upload feature. Then select all the ones you want to post by filling in the radio button for each, then choose Generate HTML and IMG Code at the bottom of the page.

11. Copy the code from the section titled: IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards - recommended

12. Post in a reply in this forum. Now if you just post them as-is they will all be on top of each other in a long column. After pasting the code in the reply I go in the at the beginning of each [URL section I delete once so it will pull that line up right behind the line above it, then I hit spacebar twice to give a little cushion between images. Once you see what I mean you can do 15 or 20 in just a few seconds - it's a pattern thing.

13. Hit Preview Post and ensure they are all aligned properly.

14. Hit Submit Reply.

15. Thank seattle18.

This is the tip I was looking for! Great!


Thanks for the program also- the one I am using will expire in 60 days.



Once again I have to thank you for taking the time to create a detailed set of instructions. You are a true asset to this forum.

15. Thank seattle18.

---Thanks Seattle 18!

Default Try this program

http://www.photo-freeware.net/jpegcrops.php

I do quite a bit in Photoshop, but I use this for batch resizing to 6x4 and you should be able to set it to 320x240, and then crop many at a time.

Enjoy.

Default Backgrounds - Advanced Learning here

OK if you want to get more advanced you can put a small white strip or any other color behind the icons with partial opacity. Example attached. Sorry don't have time this am to learn the photobucket thing. Anyway I attach a png file that can be used with some photo editors to put on a layer above your photo to acheive this effect. NOTE IN THE THUMBNAIL THE PNG COLORS ARE NOT COMING THROUGH - THE STRIP IS REDUCED OPACITY WHITE AND THE BALANCE IS TRANSPARENT.

For those using Photoshop, merely do this.
Make new layer
Rectangular marquee over the icons
Fill with white
Reduce opacity to taste.
Add your new photo below this layer.

Have fun everyone.

That's a REALLY great tip! I'm sure it will look great once implemented. Good job!
