doug Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 It was suggested that I converted the pictures on my website to thumbnails. Would this allow it to load faster and how do I go about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted March 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Tried that Madboy see attached. However, all I get is the hand showing when I hover over the file. Should I have uploaded the picture from my website. I've done from my HD just as a trial. :(Hmm that didn't show up as it should have done.

Il Capo Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 Handy little programme that, if you can try to invest in somthing like photoshop Elements v.1 that has a batch convertor that does it all automatically, and has a few niffty little filters for you to mess about with.

Emmadw Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Irfanview (http://www.irfanview) lets you batch convert files, including resizing.If you haven't already got the website - or if you want to redo it, it will create a album type page, with thumbnails linking to bigger images.Of course, if it's not an album style site, then that feature won't help - but it can still do the batch conversions for you.
