Hey,

I have been resizing the images in Thumbs plus then saving them with the compressor built in, then opening them with xat and then saving them again. But they get a couple KB bigger.. what am I doing wrong? Im new to useing XAT..

don't resize a thumb?

your goal is to get a decent image at less than 50k, a thumb is usually about 5 already, why would you resize it?

No the program is called thumbs plus.. its a Image editor, and viewer.. called thumbs plus because it makes thumbs of every image on your computer for easier viewing.

oh cool, is this thumbs plus proggy, part of xat?

if not, got a link?

i make way to many thumbs :sad:

You could just record an action in photoshop that opens, resizes, sharpens, saves it as "filename_thumb" at a certain quality, and then closes it or something. Ah, I liek photoshop, once you figure out how to use actions it makes life so much easier :smile:

damnit jim, there is not a single suggestion of the origins of the program... you are getting a bit OTT aintcha ???

i will from this point onwards dedicate myself to specifically singling out any suspicious program.. this has gone a bit to far :sad:

we will see how long it lasts

Yeah, I like ReNo said, just make an Action in Photoshop and you can easily process screenshots. Also in Photoshop, you have much more control over various aspects of the image, such as sharpness and compression settings. Heck, I just open the .bmp and hit F7, then blink; all done and ready to upload. If only I had the VBscript module that came with it or whatever, then I could have it interact with WS_FTP and have it upload shots automatically...

i guess i got spoiled with xat.

i take a dozen screens, and xat remembers how i had it setup previously, it goes directly to the HL folder, and aquires them and sends them to the review folder i have..

it does them all, at once, then i use PSP to make the thumbs.. i guess i should see if there are any keys that might do them all at once to :/

so far i have to do them one-by-one
