Aloha Friends, I am creating a little photo selection application that allow contributors to quickly select photos and do some basic editing (rotation, scaling). Revolution is great for working with images but when doing batch processing it simply takes too long. Creating thumbnails for 80 images/4 mb each takes lots of minutes.
I am a bit late in responding to this post, but maybe my reply is still helpful.
The time needed to produce thumbnails certainly depends on the image format used. With JPG-images using Revolution would probably be sufficiently fast; I so far did not test other formats.
Using my stack "ThumbsAndSlides" takes 300 milliseconds for each 3-megapixel image (then about 700 Kbyte in size on the harddisk) and 600 milliseconds for each 6-megapixel image needing 3 MB.
In the case of the 6-megapixel images thumb-producing time would then be 48 seconds for a total of 80 images.
The thumb-producing process includes proportional scaling - in case image size deviates from 4-to-3 ratio - and extracting and displaying the image name and modification date.
