Custom settings

Top Previous Next

Select the "Custom" setting to have complete control over the size and quality of the main and thumbnail images.

The image is sized using high quality interpolation to fit the inside the box defined by the size parameters while maintaining the same aspect ratio. e.g. an image 1024x768 pixels would be resized to 512x384 if the size was specified as 512x512. Images are only reduced in size. If the requested size is larger than the original image size the original image size is preserved.

The JPEG quality can be set from 0 (maximum compression, minimum quality, small file size) to 100 (maximum quality, minimum compression, large file size).

The unsharp mask settings control how the image is sharpened. The radius setting defines the radius of the Gaussian in pixels (not counting the center pixel). Amount defines the percentage difference between the original image and the blur image that is added back to the original. Threshold defines the threshold in pixels needs to apply the difference amount.

The predefined settings use the following values:

Main Image	Web	CD-R (small)	CD-R (large)
Image size	550x450	650x550	950x800
JPEG quality	80	90	90
USM radius	1.0	1.0	1.0
USM amount	1.3	1.2	1.2
USM threshold	0.0	0.0	0.0

Thumbnail Image	Web	CD-R (small)	CD-R (large)
Image size	125x125	160x160	160x160
JPEG quality	90	95	95
USM radius	1.0	1.0	1.0
USM amount	1.5	1.5	1.5
USM threshold	0.0	0.0	0.0

NOTES:

1.	The source files for HTML images can be any of the file types supported by BreezeBrowser Pro e.g. JPEGs, raw files, TIFFs.

Hint: If you prefer to prepare each fullsize image individually and only want BreezeBrowser Pro to generate the HTML pages and the thumbnails you can do it as follows:

1.	Edit and save each fullsize image as a JPEG at the desired size and quality

2.	Select the "Reuse existing images" checkbox

3.	Set "Custom" settings and set the main image size to a value larger than the fullsize images

4.	Run the HTML generator and BreezeBrowser Pro will copy any JPEG originals that are smaller than the main image size settings into the HTML output directory instead of resizing and sharpening them again.
