I have over 800 pictures a week that I download. Is there an action that will scale to box, so I don’t have to do it every week?

Hi Mike,
Can you explain what your current workflow is please?
I suspect it’s going to be something like;
- Download images from the memory card to the Mac
- Sort through the images looking for the best shots for the web site
- Import each image into a dedicated picture box in Freeway
- Scale and pad the image to the box size
- Fit the box to fit the now sized image
- Repeat steps 3 to 5 another 799 times!
Thanks,
Tim.

Or is it possible to automate the resizing process in Photoshop.
Even if your picture boxes are not all the same size you could automate for a series of sizes.

At this time you are pretty much correct in the process. We have an auction every week, and I put pictures of the cars that we are selling on the site. With this many pictures, I was hoping that I could drag and drop the pictures into the graphic box and it would automatically size them to the box with in Freeway pro. Is this possible?

Why not consider a dynamic site with scaling of images serverside? Just upload, and the PHP script does the rest. 800 pics a week, that’s a lot. Going the dynamic way it’s also much easier to tag items that are sold and so forth. My2cents.

Anothe soluting would be to use Lemke Graphic Converter to prescale or size or your images.

You’ve had a number of alternatives suggested, but another answer is… Yes.
In Freeway, a graphic box will remember the scale applied to its
image content as long as it contains an image. This means that if you
scale an image to, for example, 50%, then drop a new image into the
same graphic box, that new image will also be scaled to 50%. If you
remove the first image and then drop in a new image, it won’t be
scaled.
Don’t forget the issue of pixel-per-inch settings. Your images should
either have no ppi value or be set to 72ppi, otherwise their ‘100%’
import size will be based on the relative ppi scale - just the same
as in InDesign, QuarkXPress, Illustrator and so on.

OR, of course, all have the same ppi value and pixel dimensions. Then
the scale set for one image will be appropriate for all the others as
well, regardless.

To add to this - I was going through some stuff and found this useful class.upload PHP that would handle your image resizing server-side with ease.
Certainly would make your workflow easier in conjunction with a dynamic site.

Very interesting, thanks. Although (for example) Expression Engine as a standard offers image resizing, and there is even an excellent plug-in that I use quite often for non-gallery sites, this PHP_class looks promising. I like the build-in reflection settings.

Yes it seems very comprehensively featured - haven’t actually had a chance to try it apart from the supplied test files though.
