Edit Photos in Batch PhotoEditor

DriveHQ FileManager allows users to edit photos in batch. Batch Photo Editing function is a very useful function to many users. You can right click on multiple image files in the local pane and start batch photo editing by selecting from the popup menu, as shown below:

  • Batch Resize:
      You can reduce or enlarge the sizes of one or more images in one batch operation.

      1. Right click on one or more image files in the local pane and you should see the popup menu. Choose the Resize Select Images.

      2.Select the appropriate size you want, you can resize images to half size or double size, or resize to a fixed size. You can also choose a resample method. The Bicubic method provides the best quality, but it is also the slowest method. Bilinear method is much faster and provides a pretty good quality and is the default method.

      3.Click OK button.

      Note: You can check the Save As Default checkbox. Next time the application will use the selected size as the default value.

  • Batch Compress / Convert
      Batch Compress function is very useful to Internet sharing of digital images. A normal 4-MP digital camera image file in JPG format ranges from 600KB to 1.2MB. Using the Batch Compress function with a quality level of 75, the size could be reduced to around 200KB to 500KB. Please note this function is different from resize, because your image is still 4-MP.


      Further compressing of a JPG image does lower the image quality; however, at the quality level of 75, most people won't see any difference.


      Non-JPG images may be compressed much more dramatically by converting into JPG format and increase the JPG compress ratio. It is very common to compress a 1MB BMP image file to a mere 30KB JPG images. However, dependent on the type of content, GIF images may or may not be compressed by the Batch Compress function.

      To access this feature, you should:

      1. Right click on one or more image files in the local pane and you should see the popup menu. Choose Compress or Convert Images.

      2. Enter an appropriate number in JPG quality box. Compressing a JPG image does lower the image quality; however, at the quality level of 75, most people won't see any difference.
