How can image processing help reduce the size of my files?
Only original image file sizes are used to calculate your disk usage. We have a couple of options to let you easily reduce the amount of disk space you are using without uploading new, smaller images.
You can process images that have already been uploaded to PBase as well as select a default setting for processing new uploads to a PBase gallery. The tools to do this are found on your gallery edit
pages.
Current Processing Options
No Change
With this option, no change is made to originals when uploaded. This is the default.
Delete Originals
With this option, original images are deleted, and large size images are used to calculate your disk usage. If no large size exists, there is no change.
Recompress Originals
This option maintains the original image dimensions, but decreases the file size. The images are resaved at quality 70 using ImageMagick.
The effectiveness of these tools will vary depending on your photos, but often can provide great space savings. If you've already used some other program to process your files, you may not see much change, but if you've uploaded photos straight from a digital camera, you will probably recover a lot of space.
For example, yesterday I uploaded 100 photos from a Canon 10D which used a total of 190MB. After recompression, those photos used only 39MB. If I had removed the originals entirely and left only the 'large' sizes, those 100photos would probably use only around 10MB. |
