Question
What is the difference between a bulk image uploader and a regular, single image uploader?
Answer:
The bulk uploader allows you to upload as many images as you like at one time. You click on a browse button and a file search window will come up – you simply find the images you would like to upload and highlight all of them and click on the upload button. There will be progress bars which keep you informed of the upload status. The bulk uploader also does the sizing and optimization of your images – as long as your images are under 2MB it will size and optimize the image so it fits into your window perfectly. This feature only became available recently when the latest version of macromedia flash 8 came out. The flash 8 player is required for the bulk uploader to work.
The uploader that some of our older sites use requires you to do the optimization and sizing for you image by sizing it to the required dimensions and then by using the “save for web” feature in photoshop. You can only upload a single image at a time using this method which was the only possible option before flash 8 came out. Although this system may take a bit more time it is still quite user friendly.
