resample photos ?

I set up a book of photos. But the photos are generally a little dark. So – I went back to the photos in their source folder and used Photoshop to brighten up almost all of them.

Q: Will BookSmart resample these photo files when I open up and upload the final book ? or do I need to go back, delete the photos in the book and insert them again ?

Thanks,

Thank you Tony – Appreciate it.

Saoir,

they have not been updated. You will need to delete the photos in your book and re-import them.

I find the quickest way of doing this is to have my windows folder, where the original photos are stored, open in thumbnail view alongside the BookSmart window, then go to your first photo page and drag and drop the first photo directly from that folder into the container on the page rather than using Get Photos. Then do the same for the rest. That way I find it easy to see which photo goes where and to keep track of which ones I have done.

At the end of that process your thumbnail list on the left will have your existing photos and after those all your new ones (even though they have the same name). Just underneath the Get Photos button you will see a Filter drop down. Make sure ONLY Show Unused Photos is selected, you can then click one of the thumbnails to select it followed by Ctrl-A to select them all, then hit the Delete key to get rid of them. Make doubly sure Show Used Photos is NOT selected otherwise you will delete those as well – as I know :-(.  But Edit Undo works!
