"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enjoin us now on flickr at flickr.com groups art of photography everybody welcome back once again to the art of photography my name is ted forbes we're going to kind of take a break from a lot of the framing and presentation stuff in fact a lot of photography in general today because recently i've been working a lot on my laptop and i know a lot of people who are working on netbooks things like that and i've been doing kind of some workflow stuff on my own some things that i want to be able to do on that machine that is restrictive to do anyway i want to share a couple of those things with you so what we're going to do is move this into a screencast and we'll go over to the computer now and have a look all right so more and more often these days uh photographers including myself you'll find yourself working in situations where you may be on the on the go and you're using a netbook or a laptop or something like that you're not at your main machine at home and you know one of the things that becomes kind of a concern when you're doing that is especially if you're on a netbook is storage space on your hard drive maybe your machine's not as powerful as the one on your your desktop so um lately i found myself doing this a lot and there's a couple tools that i found that i want to show you uh that can really help with with doing stuff uh one thing is is hard drive space is at a premium for me and i just don't want to carry gallery upon gallery of you know images with me all the time when i'm not knowing what i'm going to need so there's an app that will go and pull this up called flickery that i found that i really like let's go ahead and open flickery and the main thing i use flickery for um first of all flickery is oh it costs about 17 i'll show you the link in a second to it about 14 euros i think and flickery is really nice because it basically is a web browser that just browses flickr and so you can do a lot of organizing a lot of renaming a lot of those kinds of things in here i can upload photos through flickery you can do all that stuff through the flickr website too but the one thing that flickr's website does not do that really is a pain sometimes is being able to have the option of bulk downloading images so if i have one image i want to download it's not a problem but if i have five usually it's about four or five clicks to get to that large size image to download and so you know flickr is an obvious choice if you don't want to store things on the computer um but uh getting to them sometimes can be difficult and that's what i like using flickery for and so for instance if i want to download these images these flowers i can click and hold down the shift key and i'll go ahead and select all the images that i want and then what i'm going to do is go up here to the download menu and you have a couple options here i'm just going to select download 2 and we'll put these on the desktop and i'll actually create a new folder and we'll call these downloaded images okay we'll go ahead and create that let's say save and you're gonna see this little box pops up and voila it just starts downloading them all which you know huge time saver especially if you use flickr a lot and you want to grab some images off here to work with so anyway again flickr is a great app for that unfortunately it is mac only if you're on the windows side uh you can use there's a there's an app called bulker b-u-l-k-r and that's actually mac and windows i just prefer flickery i bought it in a bundle a couple years ago with some other software and i find it really nice so um anyway that's my recommendation there okay so let's go ahead and quit this and you're going to see here's our download images folder i'll open that and here it is it downloaded the original size actually of each one of these images so if i open this one a little more you can see down here in the preview that those dimensions on this image are 2904 by 3700 so that's that's the full size image that i uploaded as a jpeg to flickr so very cool um but you know sometimes let's say that uh i just want to grab a group of images i don't really want to build a gallery in flickr to do it but i just want to send a group of images and put them up on the web in a gallery format so people can see them okay so you know first thing i might want to do is i might want to resize these well there's a lot of things that like you know photoshop is great for but sometimes if you want to have photoshop on your computer just to do a couple little things i like little utilities uh personally that'll help with this and there's a app that i really like called i resize and there's probably a windows equivalent i have not looked for one i resize is free and it's on the mac i'll give you the link to that in a second too and basically you get a little contextual window that opens here and what we need to do is down here on the bottom left to say add or remove images i'll click that we're going to add not just one image because we're going to add a whole folder of images and i'm going to put that downloaded images folder let's choose that it's going to bring in all the files okay and i can see them over here on this left-hand pane over here now you can go through each one of these and define dimensions and rotate if you need to or you know do all kinds of things like that but what i'm going to do is i'm going to hold down the shift key and click the last one and select all of them and over here on the right hand side here's the size and pixels i don't want height or width let's change the height and let's bring it around uh this computer is pretty small to 403 we're just going to put these online for somebody to see so they don't need the full size image i can change the name if i want on these i can add extensions so and so forth but when i'm ready to go all i have to do is on this middle pane is click resize all and it's going to pull up a menu here it says where do you want to put them well let's create another folder and let's say smaller images we'll call that folder say create let's resize all here it's going to go through each image and resize it to the maximum height that i gave it and then we're done say okay and we can go ahead and quit this now here's my smaller images folder and you can see when i preview these that they're much smaller they are all let's open it up 316 by 403 which i think is what i gave it for that large number there so it uniformly made all these the same size now let's say you want to put those online somewhere for somebody to look at really easily well here's a web app that is free that i found that i really like i'll go to safari here this is called minus min.us is the url and got i don't think it could get much simpler you don't even have to have an account to do this you can just load images up i do have an account i've got some galleries in here so let's go ahead i'm going to go back over here and select all these images and literally all you do is drag and drop them onto the browser let's go back to the browser and you can see there it is working the magic it's uploading and bringing them in so uh anyway once it's loading i found sometimes it does snag on the loading it actually has loaded them all but you don't see it so anyway i can click on these and move around you can click and drag to rearrange them which is kind of nice if i want uh this image to be the first image i'm going to click and drag it up to the top very slick and then here's your edit url and your share url so all i have to do is send that to somebody and then they will uh they will get this little web gallery right here now one thing i do want to note is you probably don't want to put copyrighted images or things that um are sensitive because mainly because it does give you the links to download the image on here so it's not the most super secure thing in the world but it is great if you just need to send some images to somebody or especially if you're dealing with like family images and things like that so anyway that's a great option one other option that i really like is an app called dropbox and if you don't have dropbox it is really one of the most awesome things you could possibly put on your computer now dropbox works like this you're going to go to dropbox.com which is right here and i'm actually in my admin window you sign up for the account they do have a free version if you need more space there are paid versions but what i like about dropbox is it's an excellent way to get images shared across computers just back them up online etc and the the free account i believe comes with two gigabytes of space which is really nice and what it does is you're going to install it as an app on your computer and when you do you can see down here in my little menu here that it put it over on the side dropbox is actually in your documents folder and anytime i throw in a file in here it can be anything it will upload it to the web and it will sync it with any other computer that has dropbox installed on it as well and you can share folders with other people but for the most part your stuff's pretty secure it's private and dropbox is awesome one thing i really like about this is there is a photos folder it's right here and earlier i put when i was practicing for this and making sure i had all my stuff together i actually threw those flower images in here already and what's cool is when you throw them in here it automatically uploads them throws them online and now when i go back over to the dropbox interface here if i go down to photos okay here's that sample images folder let's click on that and here's all the images if i just need to download them or you know send a link to somebody or whatever but the other cool thing about this is i click on gallery and dropbox automatically builds a gallery so i don't have to do any resizing i don't have to do any html coding i can just throw them in here and voila done and what's really cool is i can i can um i can copy this link and i can send it to friends i can send it to you know whoever client and i didn't have to build any of this so this is really one of the most hassle-free ways of building images and get them online so anyway a couple you know cool things i just want to show you just utilities today we'll get back into more the photography tutorials next time but just to review real quick that's dropbox.com um i also showed you min.us or minus it's the other web gallery app that one's free the image resizer can be found at danielle.ch that's d-a-n-i-e-l-e dot c-h and uh this individual's programmers has a bunch of utilities i resize is the first one very nice and then finally flickery can be found at flickeryapp.com made by a group called eternal storms and flickery's a great app i really really like it and highly recommend it so anyway just a few utilities a few little things i figured you might find useful today and uh once again if you enjoy the show make sure you leave a comment on itunes send me an email if you got questions and once again we hope to see you next time this has been the art of photography and thanks for watchingjoin us now on flickr at flickr.com groups art of photography everybody welcome back
