Fast Uploads of up to 50 Images at Once
with WinZip (WIN2000 & XP)

1) Create a folder (directory) called CachelanPhotos

2) Keep the originals but edit and resize a copy of photos as required using a graphics program before uploading. Put all resized photo files for upload in the new folder CachlelanPhotos. File types can include jpg, jpeg,gif,tif,bmp,PDF. Recommeded image size for high resolution screens is 1280x1024 pixels (about 250K). If photos are to be downloaded for prints resize to a maximum width or height of 1800 pixels (about 350K). Uploading images at higher resolution produces no improvement in quality and can extend upload time significantly. Cachelan WebFilm will automatically resize images to fit the screen.

3) Right click on the newly created folder CachelanPhotos. From the pulldown menu select WinZip>Add to CachelanPhotos.zip Left click on the menu item Add to CachelanPhotos.zip
This menu item will not appear if WinZip 9.0 is not installed on your Windows 2000 or XP computer. In this case, to get a free evaluation copy go to http://www.WinZip.com and install it.

A new file CachelanPhotos.zip is created in the current directory which is the same directory as the CachelanPhotos folder.
Note: Internet upload speed is usually much slower than download speed. If the zip file is over 50 MB in size or on slow dialup connections the browser could timeout with no images transferred to the Gallery. If you experience this problem in the final step, put the files into 2 smaller zip files and upload separately.

4) Launch Cachelan WebFilm by entering the homepage

If not click the Need more images? link below the indicator and reconfigure the film up to the number required.

6) In the Gallery click the first Browse button at the bottom of the screen. Locate the directory with the newly created file CachelanPhotos.zip. Left click on it. Then select the Open button in the Choose file window. The path and file name appears in the box next to the Browse button. This is the only file that will be uploaded however it contains all the images that were previously zipped into this file.

7) Left click the Upload button at the bottom of the Gallery. A progress bar appears while the ZIP file loads.
This may take from 2-30 minutes depending on file size and internet connection speed. When the upload is finished a thumbnail appears in the Gallery of each newly uploaded image. Select the Albums tab at the top of the screen and add the new photos to an existing or new album.
