How do you choose ~30 pics from a selection of 100+ ?

Dylan · 2004-12-06, 05:13 AM

Trying to choose ~30 pics from a selection of 100+ on my computer brings my computer to a slower than snail pace within a minute or 2 and eventually freezes my computer.

This is how I "try" to select the pics: Click on my computer, go to the folder in question, click on a pic name and let the preview load on the left, then I either keep or delete the pic. The same thing happens if I try and load the pics through IE.

Thanks

Try getting an image viewer/editor - I have CompuPic - http://www.photodex.com/products/compupic/ & I love it

I use ACDSee

Never delete any pics you have bought. You may be able to use them at a later date!!!!!

Create a folder within that pic folder and as you pick a pic, copy and paste into the other folder since you will probably edit that original size and compress it too.

I made this mistake. I have use for pics I bought in the past only to find some of them I resized and compressed.

I have that side thing turned off and instead have my folder set to view thumbs. This way it just shows all of the thumbs in the folder at once.

I look at those and delete obvious repeats and ones that dont fit the site.

Once I get it down to 50 or so I walk thru them with the windows viewer thing check for blurry/bad pictures and to see how it flows. Then keep on removing until down to thirty.

One note about using the thumbs view in folders like I was talking about above.

When you have this on Windows creates a file (thumbs.dbs I think) for these thumbs. Try not to upload it with your sites because it is a waste.

CompuPic Pro also has a nifty thumbnail page generator and does nice batch conversions. It automatically puts the pics on .html pages, but it's easy enough to go into the thumb page's code, do a "find & replace .jpg.html with .jpg" to change all the thumb links to images only, then drag and drop into a gallery. Now if I could only get my content providers to give me sets that are already in order....

Seriously though, it's a nifty tool with lots of cool features.

I absolutely love irfanview, its free and does many of the things purchased viewers/editors do; sometimes better.
www.irfanview.com
I hit enter for full screen of an image, then just browse through the folder deleting, adjusting brightness, resizing, clarifying, sharpening as I go.

Dylan · 2004-12-07, 04:03 AM

Thanks for the product recommendations everyone. They all cost money though

Are there any free ones?

amadman, how do you enable a folder to view thumbs?

Ramster, I keep the original zips

Alphawolf · 2004-12-07, 05:08 AM

Maybe you didn't see MeatPounder's reply yet. http://www.irfanview.com/ is free.

Hi Dylan,

To view thumbnails in a folder...

Open the folder, select "view" from the menu at the top and then select "thumbnails"...

Regards,
SF

Dylan · 2004-12-07, 10:25 PM

? I can't find it.

I'm using win 98.

Thanks.

Useless · 2004-12-07, 10:46 PM

If viewing pics on your hd is bogging your computer, it's time to get a new computer. There is no work-around for that.

plateman · 2004-12-08, 02:01 AM

I agree and win 98 is to old IMHO..

IrfanView ?

I have had IrfanView for years. I have only used it a couple of times to resize images though.

Now I find out it has a thumbnail feature after all the hassles I've gone through. Sigh.

I feel like such a moron!

No. I feel like a dumbass. I just downloaded XnView and was about to install it. Haha.

A little off topic, but I remember in 97 when Windows 98 came out because I was working at a trucking company & we had pallets & pallets of them on the dock. The bosses knew that I had the pornsite side project & knew I was savy with computers, so I was brought into the big bosses office with my supervisor & they made me promise to go nowhere near the pallets

I also had to sign some papers when the office got it's 1st non-interal computer, but that's another story
