Hi Merv, I have never used this app or don’t know much about Filterstorm 3 other than reading a few reviews and also about Filterstorm Pro. "Exporting Images To export images, go to the 'export' tab (iPad) or tap the bottom icon in the main menu to bring up the export screen (iPhone), and tap on the destinations in the list you wish to check them. At this point, tapping the "Send Photos" button will begin processing and transferring all the selected photos to all the selected destinations. The "Delivery Settings" button will bring up a popover giving you options to scale all the images you're sending to fit into a certain pixel-sized box. You can also set the maximum size here. If you don't need extremely high resolution output, you can speed up the processing time by lowering the maximum size. You can also choose the JPEG quality, higher means larger file sizes, smaller means worse quality. Somewhere around 80% is usually a good compromise between the two. Finally you can set the option to confirm these settings each time before export.” <http://filterstorm.com/fs3/tutorials/metadata-export-backup#exporting-images> <http://filterstorm.com/fs3/tutorials/> Filterstorm Pro: Filterstorm Pro, includes additional features such as batch processing. <http://ipad.appstorm.net/reviews/graphics/filterstorm-pro-powerful-photo-editing-on-your-ipad/> Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt" 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.7.2 Lion Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Settings & Unsubscribe - <http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug>
