G'day Shel, I'm using version 3.80 and it'll do all the things David Oswald mentioned.
To create a gallery these are the steps I've used in the past. The first step assumes that the images have not already been re sized for web use. - Step 1 Start IrfanView :-) Go to File > Batch Conversion / Rename Navigate to the folder that contains the files you want. Select the image/s then click "Add" Select the output directory. Select "Batch Conversion". (you could also do a batch rename at this point if you wanted. This would make it a 3 step process) Set the output file type .jpg, .tif ... etc. Click on "Options" to set compression amounts, include / exclude exif information plus some other things. Check the "Use advanced options" box. Click on the "Set advanced options" button. This is where you set resize values*, DPI, sharpness, brightness, contrast, gamma corrections and other stuff. (The problem with using Irfamview to make these kind of adjustments is there is no real time preview.) *Tip: when resizing a group of images that are a mix of portrait and landscape, to keep the long edge of the image, at say 650 pixels, set the resize value to 650x650. Make sure though, that you set the DPI (if needed) and check the "Preserve aspect ratio" box. Once you've got all the settings dialed in, click on the "Start" button - Step 2 (create the HTML gallery) In IrfanView go to File > Thumbnails. This brings up the thumbnail window. Navigate to the folder that contains the resized images Go to Options > Set thumbnail options. Here is where you set the thumbnail size 50x50, 65x65...300x300, thumbnail border & gallery page background colour (it will preview the results in the thumbnail window) . Select the files in the thumbnail window and go to File > Save selected thumbs as HTML file. This will bring up a dialogue box with some self explanatory options (Main HTML file name, destination folder location, HTML page name etc.) Then click export It's now just a matter of uploading the folder to the web and posting a link :-) Here's an example page I just made: http://tinyurl.com/b4otk About 1 minute to create, start to finish, using the method described above (I didn't do any brightness, contrast sharpening adjustments. Just a resizing) HTH. Dave "I've got nothing better to do this morning" Savage <g> On 6/5/05, Shel Belinkoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I didn't know Irfan did ALL that.
