Mike Chaney's Tech Corner

Recently started at Zenfolio and was wondering what the best workflow would be to use QImage to generate the pictures for upload. I assume it will give the same superior quality as it does for prints.
I haven't found any utility or process for this. Am I missing something?

To be honest, I have no idea what Zenfolio is?
So I  tickled google, and it looks like some sort of a web location for people to display their work????
If so, then the simple rules are likely the same. 800 x 600 size images uploaded to your page????
Every line above ends in a ??   because I don't know if I am reading your words right/

Qimage makes perfect downsized images perfect for uploading.
Simply click on make Email and Web copies, set the size you want, and say NO when it asks if you want to email.
The downsized images will appear in a sub folder.

If you need tighter help, just holler.

Hello

Zenfolio is ok, I use it, so it must be :)

Have a look at my blog - http://grumpy-jeff.blogspot.com/ I am in process of updating the blog and yesterday I created a link to one of my folders on Zenfolio.
It is the top item Annecy.  There will be further fiddling and updating today so blog could be a little erratic at times (I frequently get in a hell of a mess with the HTML)

I just get a load of photos in Qultimate and then create web/email copies and upload to Zen.

I also post images on this forum direct from Zenfolio see - http://ddisoftware.com/tech/general-tech-discussion/annecy-and-district-photos/

I use the basic scheme at $25 and if you look at the above post there is a $5 discount code. (ie for anybody else, don't know if it is a one off code - suck it and see)

I think the max file size is something like 2mb!

I also use Zenfolio to display my photos and everyone loves it.  I keep my pages private and password protected as it is mainly for family and friends, but may take a second subscription for some more public displays.  It has all kinds of features that I don't use, is inespensive, and easy to use. 

I use the "creeate e-mail web size" feature, and depnding on what it is adjust the size. I use smaller for the more snapshot type images, and larger - up to 1800 x 2400  - for more fomral portraits.  They all look great on the site.

Henk,
I hope you have sorted out using the e-mail/web copies feature by now, if not come back with any questions.
One tip: to ensure your web copy images have the same aspect ratio as the image, whether cropped with a filter or with a print crop or not cropped at all, enter the pixel size so the width & height are the same, e.g. 800x800.
2nd tip: rather than let QU create the {Q}e-mail folder automatically, enter a folder name of your own. Doing that will ensure previous web copies are not deleted or overwritten -  a feature of the auto-created folder.
I have a PBase gallery http://www.pbase.com/tjm04
and have used Qimage for making the web copies for several years. You have to make sure the "original size is viewed because PBase created smaller versions are rather soft.

Thanks for the replies. Was off to Syria for a few days, but now back and I will check the suggestions.
