TOTAL's photo settings affect how TOTAL automatically optimizes and formats your images.

TOTAL's image optimization settings are preset to those which have been tested to return the best results overall. However, it's possible that you can adjust these settings to achieve better quality for your own images. To change TOTAL's photo settings:

1. In TOTAL, click Tools, Configure Settings.
2. Click the Photos tab on the left.

   

3. These settings help you set several options that determine how TOTAL will optimize your images. The default settings have been shown to work across a broad cross-section of images. However there are settings you can change if you'd like a different result:
   • If you'd like TOTAL to Skip image optimization for images smaller than 500KB, check the first box. This is checked by default, because it's unlikely that further optimization of any image this small will be of much help, since 500KB is already a relatively small image size.
   • If you'd like to see the Image Optimizer appear anytime you add a new image to your report, check the box labeled Show the Image Optimizer whenever an image is added to a page.
   • Adjust the Pixels per inch (Resolution) slider to change the resolution to which your images will be optimized.
   • Adjust the Detail (Compression Quality) to change the level of compression that will be applied when optimizing your images.
4. Occasionally, TOTAL will need to add a new photo page to accommodate an image you have inserted. You can choose what type of photo page to add in the Page Settings dropdown.
5. Click Apply or Save & Close to save your changes.

To configure AutoBrowse:

1. In TOTAL, click Tools, select Configure Settings and click Photos on the left. Or, simply click the Settings button in the QuickPix Importer.

   

2. In the QuickPix section, you can customize your QuickPix Importer and Database:
   • Enter the values that you'd like to automatically populate for the City, State, Zip, and/or Neighborhood. You can enter values for all of the fields, or fill out a single field such as the City or State.
   • Select which labeling option to use when placing photos from your QuickPix Database into a report. You can use the label in your database, use the label that's already on your form, or have TOTAL prompt you for each photo you add.
3. When you're finished, click Save & Close on the lower right.

1. With a report open in TOTAL click Tools, and select Configure Settings from the drop‑down menu.

   Enable automatic cloud storage for photos

   Check or uncheck the box next to this option to enable or disable automatic upload of images when placing an image in a report. Keep in mind that unchecking the box to disable this feature disables all other image analytics features and disables all other settings.

   Automatically label photos based on content

   Our built‑in image analytics are used to automate the labeling of photos placed in your report. Check the box next to this option to enable it, or uncheck the box to disable it. When enabled, the following features happen automatically in Titan Reports:

   • When present, address information and a photo description are included when you upload an image
   • Caption placement
   • Photo description for the image is updated
   • The address for the photo is updated.

   Allow image uploads from QuickPix while TOTAL is running

   Enable this option to allow QuickPix to continue uploading images while TOTAL is running.

   Limit my used full‑sized photos on disk to the most recent XX days

   When you add images to a report or import them into your QuickPix database, the full‑size versions are stored both locally and in the cloud. Over time, the accumulated images can consume a significant amount of your computer's hard drive space.

   Enable this option to limit how long photos are stored locally. You're still able to view and search photos locally through your QuickPix database using image thumbnails, but the full‑size images are removed from your local hard drive and available on the cloud via Titan Photos.

   If you need access to the full‑size image, TOTAL downloads it from Titan Photos automatically when you place the image in a report. If you're not online, you're prompted to use the local thumbnail or go online to retrieve the full‑size image.

3. When you're finished, click Apply to apply your changes and continue adjusting settings, or click Save & Close to save your changes and return to your report.

1. With a report open in TOTAL click Tools, and select Configure Settings from the drop‑down menu.
2. Select Photos on the left, and then scroll to the Image Label Settings section to adjust your options on the right.
3. Choose whether you want to Overwrite the existing label on my form automatically, or Keep the existing label on the form when placing a photo and a label is already present.
4. When you're finished, click Apply to apply your changes and continue adjusting settings, or click Save & Close to save your changes and return to your report.
