Batch information and resizing

You can set up batch information by editing the default settings, or selecting settings in the final dialog before you upload your photos. When you select these settings, the information for each photo is taken from the file and displayed on Flickr. In most cases, you need to create the file information on the Properties pane in ACDSee first.

You can also set batch resize information for your images in both the settings and the uploader dialogs. As you upload, the images are resized.

To set batch information for each photo:

  1. To set the source for the title of each image, click the Get title drop-down list and select from the following:
    • Filename - the title of each photo is taken from the filename.
    • IPTC Headline - the title for each photo is taken from the IPTC Headline field on the IPTC tab of the Properties pane. If you have not created this information, the title will be blank.
    • ACDSee Caption - the title for each photo is taken from the Caption field on the Metadata tab of the Properties pane. If you have not created the captions in ACDSee, the title will be blank.
  2. To set the source for the description of each photo, click the Get description drop-down list and select from the following:
    • IPTC Caption - the title for each photo is taken from the Caption field in the Properties pane. If you have not created the captions, the description will be blank.
    • ACDSee Notes - the title for each photo is taken from the Notes field on the Metadata tab of the Properties pane. If you have not created notes in ACDSee, the description will be blank.
    • ACDSee Caption - the title for each photo is taken from the Caption field on the Metadata tab of the Properties pane. If you have not created the captions in ACDSee, the description will be blank.
    • Exif Image Description - the title for each photo is taken from the Image Description field on the EXIF tab of the Properties pane. If you have not created the EXIF Image Description in ACDSee, the description will be blank.
  3. To include tags from the ACDSee Keywords, IPTC Category, and IPTC Supplementary categories, click the checkboxes.
