Optimizing more than one photo at a time for captivate?

I'm creating half hour training modules that use roughly 100 slides with more than 100 photos/images during the 100 slides. The file works just fine but the IT department would like the download time to be quicker (was set to 75% downloaded to view and took 5 min, now set to 10% and runs after 60 seconds without tripping up or any other problems). The 10% works perfectly but the new concern is the bandwidth being used each time these modules will be downloaded to be viewed.
We were recommended to optimize all of our images used in our captivate files. Because I've done 3 complete modules with more than 300 images, my concern is in the time it will take to individually optimize each of the photos I used and re-import them.
Is there a way to use photoshop to optimize an entire group of photos at once? say a folder of photos?

Hi there
I wouldn't expect those side effects at all!
I tried to post this earlier but the internet connection here is sporadic. I'll try again.
I might suggest a test. Choose 5 images to use. Make copies of the images.
Take the original unoptimized images and pop them into Captivate. Create a SWF and note the file size. Now optimize the other 5 and repeat the process. Then compare the two SWF files from Captivate. Difference in size? If not, perhaps optimizing beforehand is wasted effort.
In Captivate, you are able to control things at the slide level or globally. Click Edit > Preferences... > Project node > SWF Size and Quality node.
Cheers... Rick

  • How to delete more than one photo at a time

    Apparently there is no longer an iPhoto trash. So you don't drag photos to the trash. Instead you hit the delete key and then a second click on delete when you get the message "Are you sure you want to delete this photo." Has anyone found a way to delete more than one photo at a time, though? This is really a hassle if you have just imported 500 photos and are going to end up deleting 450 of them.

    I didn't say use the command key and delete. I use the command key for selecting random photos. Then I right click and choose delete from the contextual menu.
    I always use right click, but the command-delete does work also in that album.
    Depending on what album you are in, there are different menus. In a user created album, the right click would show "Remove from Album" & "Delete Photo". I noticed that was the same for Last Import Album. But at the same time, under image, you will only have Remove from Album. If it is a system album, you will only get the delete menu from either the right click or from the menu under Image.
    What you have to remember is if it days delete the photo, it will completely delete it from the library and all albums. If the menu says Remove From Album, then it will only be removed from the album you are in.
    In PhotoStream Album, you get only Delete Photo from the right click menu, but under image, you get only remove from album. So if you want to remove an image from PhotoStream, you have to use the top menu so it won't get deleted from the library. If you want to remove a photo completely, you would use delete and it will be removed from the library and photo stream.
    So, there are different processes for the different albums. I don't know if that is intentional or just oversight. That may change in the future.

  • Setting color codes for more than one photo at a time

    Is there any way to set color codes for more than one photo at a time?

    Hi John,
    I will look at keywords. My issue is speed. Right now I am culling and editing an event shoot that spanned a week with 35 separate events and more than 5000 images. So I use the fastest most convenient method I can and it still takes a long time to have a completed and final shoot. On this shoot I will end up with a final set of around 1500 images. Right now I am finishing processing a show that will hang in the Deutsches Amerikanish Zentrum in Stuttgart.
    As I am sure you are aware by now, having seen enough of my inane questions that over the last two years or since Lightroom version 1.xx if I could not figure out how to do something I skipped it. So many things in Lightroom are buried and unless you have a mind like a steel trap (and think that some of you guys in the forum do) locating how to do something is not obvious.
    For example, I only learned (in the last hour) that I could assign colors as a group of selections by using Shift + number. I found this in a side head in Martin Evenings Lightroom book. I still do not know how to find a way to display the color filter "selection" set in Library mode. Is there a way?
    To top it off, Stuttgart Media University asked me if I would add a Lightroom module to my schedule this year. Now I have a compelling reason to learn all those missing pieces that I have created workarounds for. Hence the number of posts you have been seeing from me over the past few of weeks.
    I tell my class that there are no such things as stupid questions, only questions. Now I am practicing what I have been preaching for the last gazillion years. Guys like you have been great.
    My workflow is
    1. I first separate all images by event. I do that at the time of import.
    2. I do a fast pass rejecting all the obviously bad images
    3. I do a second pass grouping the images by sub-group (speeches, people talking, performances, etc.) This is where I run out of selection methods and your key-wording could work but it would probably take too much time to establish a keyword set for a single event. Where I have more than five subgroups I set up different collection sets with one collection for each sub group. However I would like to keep a single event in one collection.
    4. I then select the images to be used by color code.
    5. Next I process the final images (crop develop etc) by collection.
    6. Last I output the set according to client requirement.
    If you have a better workflow, I am all ears.
    By the way, what is your photo specialty and where are you located?

  • How can i order prints of more than one photo at a time?

    Hi I am trying to order prints of more than one photo at a time but can only select one photo - if I press command it just jumps to the next photo, not allowing me to select multiple photos.

    Easiest way is to make an album of the photos you want to order, crop them to the print size, select all and order

  • How to e-mail more than one photo at a time?

    i am wondering how to e-mail more than one photo at a time from the photo's saved

    With the last iOS update you can add photos while you're typing you email. You just need to touch (as you have to copy/paste something) and the tap add photo. All the time you need.

  • How can I scan more than one photo at a time on my 8610

    The previous HP Scanner we had (8500) would allow you to add scan windows to the scan preview so that you could scan more than one photo or image at a time from the glass.  This allowed me to scan physical photos in several at a time rather than having to load one at a time.  Is there a way to do this in this newer 8610 software?  

    Thanks!  That did work, sort of.   At 600 dpi, If I put 5 photos on the scanner bed, it sometimes senses 3 correctly and senses 2 as one photo.  Sometimes the other way around, it gets 2 right and senses 3 togehter.  I can then change the scanning area to just have one of those photos, but then I have to rescan the one(s) that are/were left out. 
    So the first problem with this solution is, to use it I'm stuck at 300 dpi resolution  or less which isn't great for my situation.  I want to be able to enlarge some of these images up for printing.
    Also, When I click on the + sign it scans the same photos again and I can then crop the ones that it continually senses as 1 photo (even when they are spread apart, but it scans all the others again to, so if it senses three photos together that shouldn't be, I have to add 2 extra pages, crop them appropriately and the delete the extra 4 scans of the photos it got right the first time.  
    VERY CUMBERSOME.  The previous program for the 8500 let you just add a scan area window so that you could scan the bits out you wanted.  Much better.   Why do they mess with what works?   Bummer.

  • Sending more than one photo at a time

    OK, fine, no MMS. We have to e-mail our pics to our friends.
    But is there any way on an iPhone 3G to send more than one photo attachment at a time? Sometimes I'd like to send two or three pixs to my friends of an event and that means two or three separate e-mails that have to be addressed.
    Can't I just tag or mark more tan a single photo and send the bunch?

    I am unable to upload more than one photo.  I have tried to hold down the shift key and highlighting the remaining photos. 

    If you are using the Internet Explorer (IE) browser than you will only be able to upload one file at a time. This is per browser design by Microsoft. If you want to upload multiple files than use another browser such as Firefox or Chrome.
    If you are not using IE and are seeing this issue then please share which OS version and browser version you are using.

  • I want to order photos on iPhoto. I have logged in one photo, and then my choices are cancel and buy now. How do I order more than one photo at a time?

    I would like to order more than one photo on iPhoto. I have downloaded one picture, and then my choices are cancel and buy now. I would like to download other photos to have them printed, too. How do I do that?

    Wich version of iPhoto do you have? You need iPhoto '09 or '11 to order prints.
    Make an album of all photos you want to order in the same order.
    Then select all photos at once, when you use Share > order prints.
    You should see a panel like this, where you can mark the quantities. The screenshot is from iPhoto 9.6:

    Yes.  Open your camera roll in the thumbnail view, tap the arrow button on the top right, tap all of the photos you want included in your email, tap Share at the bottom, tap Email.  Note: all email providers have limits on the size of emails that are permitted so be careful not to try to add too many or it may not be delivered.
