For the first time I used the feature to Download Senior Photos. This is a really cool feature although, of course, I have all the original scans which are at a better resolutioin. Can you file these by last name first instead of first name? Same for Download Classmate Photos?

Please explain to me about the size and resolution of what is being downloaded. There's a difference in the size of what was originally uploaded.

Thank you,
Cheryl

I'll ask Rick about question 1, but regarding question 2, Yearbook Photos in our system are small. That doesn't stop many people from uploading full sized scans though. In fact they're often uploaded in non web ready image formats, such as TIF or BMP. We have no reason to save those large images on the system -- it would basically needlessly consume file space. Our system shrinks the image to the default Yearbook Photo size, compresses the image to JPG regardless of the format in which the photo was uploaded, and does not save the original. Having everything at a uniform height will also allow our system to auto generate some things in the future, such as nametags.

When you batch download Yearbook Photos, you're getting only the final result created by our system after your initial uploads. Like you said though, if you're needing images at the full resolution of your original scan, you would have those saved locally already.

Thanks for changing the file names of the photos we download from our sites. They are now by last name.

However, for the female classmates, they are filed by their married names, not their maiden name which is how most of us maintain records now.

Can this be changed if it was a mistake or did y'all consciously decide to use married name?

Again, no big deal, honestly,
Cheryl

I have no idea. For that I have to ask the Powers above myself. Oh, Riiiick? It sounds like using the Maiden name makes the most sense.

Hi Cheryl, the FOLDERS are named First name first, but the photos (JPG files) have the names in the filename as Last name first...
