Optimize Images |
||
Whenever you upload images, your listings manager checks the file sizes of those images. Because the size of photos can have a significant impact on the time it takes to open a web page, your site will perform much better if the images you select are scaled to the proper size.
If any image you try to upload to your site is over 100 kilobytes, a special
Image Optimizer appears to help you trim the excess.
The optimizer has two options:
- Let my XSite optimize images after upload - This option invokes your site's built-in image optimizer to modify your images after they've been uploaded to the site. This is the preferred option, since the tool knows the best settings for display in your listings presentation. In order to streamline this process in the future, click the Always use this selection check box. Now all images you upload over 100k will be automatically optimized.
 |
Note: Optimizing an image may include reducing its physical dimensions (width and height) and also its color depth. However, since the Optimizer knows the optimum settings to display on your listings, you will notice NO difference in the quality of the photos when they're displayed. | ||
- Continue without optimizing my images - This option bypasses the optimizer and continues to upload the images in their native size. Since the optimizer only affects images over 100k, which will greatly reduce the responsiveness of your listings presentations, this is NOT RECOMMENDED.
You actually have a third option as well. You can click the Cancel button to abort the current upload. Then, use your own image optimization tools to adjust the size of your files. Click here for some additional information on image editing tools.
