Compressing pictures

You have the ability to compress pictures (and convert them to JPEG) as part of the sync process. By using this feature you can shrink the size and dimensions of the picture. This can reduce your sync time and the amount of space used on the FotoTime site. However, it will not speed up the viewing of the pictures on the FotoTime site since the website already produces an image optimized for viewing.

Refer to: Picture Properties (Single) or Picture Properties (Multiple Pictures) for details on how to set pictures to be compressed when synced.

Note: If you compress your pictures as part of the sync, you will lose the ability to retrieve the original. In addition, certain sync functions behave differently if you send compressed images. By default, compressed pictures will never be downloaded as part of a sync unless the original is lost. We recommend sending the original uncompressed images unless you must save upload time and/or space.
