Question re: uploading pictures

lizzie

I just got married and the photographer gave me the pics that are file size 8 mb and above.  I have been trying to upload them onto the photo developing site, ie Costco, and they said max size is 8 mb.  All my files are over 8mb, what is the quickest way to get the photos uploaded or developed?  I have over 1200 pics and I don't know what to do to get them developed.

Any advice from you all experts is appreciated!

Use some free software that can do batch processing to shrink your file size.

Have you consider to ask your photographer to create you a 2nd copy of the same images to smaller sizes.  1800x1200 or 1200x1800 is suppose to be a good size printing to 4x6 at 300ppi.  Your photographer would barely need any time to do this for you correctly.  Resize w/o correctly shapened the photo may not print as good as it can be (soft looking image)

Whenever I finish a photography job, I would create at least 3 set of format.

(Pre-shapened for printing or viewing purpose)
- 800x600 for web use
- 1800x1200 for 4x6 printing
- 4000x3000 for Large size printing (newly added)
- 21 Megapixel unsharpened full size image to preserve details for future use

Let me know if you need me to give you more details.

i think your photographer welcomes feedback from you,  tell him what you want to do

tell him a wedding photographer should anticipate the various uses of the photos

tell him what you learned from  an experienced photographer .s comment on this thread

i image,   a wedding photographer would  thank you for your feedback , go to the library, grab a book on photoshop or light roomj
and learn how to produce   several types of formats  for your collection of photos, so you can treasure them, archive them,  print them
and show them , on the web and on whatever digital display are available to day

a professional will gladly listen to  your desires , even the best photographers   will listen to the clients  and develop his practice
according to the clients ,s  needs

  they will say ,, oh you want to do that with the photos ?  no problem,  we  will tranform the photos  for you  in a couple of days
the modern  photo professional, will tell you his service will not stop  after giving  you the set of photos
you can go back to him , in a month , in a year,  in 10 years, in a hundred years,  if you need help in enjoying the photos using various forms of digital technolgoy,  if you need help , the photographer will give it to you

  your pleasure , your happiness is the ultimate goal of the wedding photographer
