OK, I'm back.
Yeah, I was back last wednesday.
It's taking a really long time to get my pictures developed because:
(1) my color film
(-) Murphy's lost one of the five rolls, they're working to find it
(2) my black and white film
(-) Developed 15 rolls, 13 remaining
(-) haven't had chance to make contact sheets
(3) digital pictures
(-) They're up and in my images directory, but please do not look at them! they have not been compressed yet! They are MASSIVE FILE SIZES (up to 2 megs each!) and my server can't handle that bandwidth!
(-) I've been too lazy to compress them
I start my new job tomorrow, wish me luck. Actually, I doubt anyone will read this by the time I start. Oh well.
WE GOT RADIOHEAD TICKETS!!! My parents ok'ed it, too, tickets are bought (row HH, left center), and the rents don't care if I want to take the next day off work and just crash in St. Louis or if I want to drive back.
That's mostly everything, if I think of anything else I'll post. Ciao.
Spork.
HURRY UP AND COMPRESS THEM!!!!!!! :)

You know, photoshop has a pretty nice little batch tool....

does it really? where? I've always wanted them to have something like that but I didnt' think they did ... rawk out adobe
Create an action that does image size to 25% or so and then saves for web with the default name and whatever compression settings you want. You can also put stuff like adding a watermark right into that action if you wanted to brand them all "thespork.com" or something.
Then go file > automate > batch.
you would choose "folder" as the source and as destination and choose your new action as the thing to do. i have the last part set:
"folder" and selected the folder on my server i wanted to save to and checked "override save as commands" and used "file name" and "extension" as the naming scheme.
works very well.
Its also handy if you load like 50 files at a time into photoshop, do color correction, cropping, etc on each and minimize it when you're done, then just choose "open files" as the destination.
There's also a web photo gallery option under automate but i've never used it cause it looks kinda crappy.
In fact, you could probably do this remotely right now and it'd be done by the time you got home (i imagine ~1 gig of images would take a while)
