Export Image Series As

Export Image Series

Allows the user to export all the currently loaded images into JPG, BMP, TIFF or PNG file types. This command is especially useful for creating a series of images to be used for a Web Site, or presentation of sequential images. Each image will be exported at its current window and level settings. The exported files are automatically created as follows:

All Images in the Directory Path are sorted alphabetically.
Each exported filename will begin with the Series Root Filename.
A sequence number will be appended to the root.starting with 1. If Pad Filenames with Zeroes is checked, the number will be left padded with zeroes. See Note 1.
The suffix for the exported Images is appended. If you select both Export as Full Size and Export Scaled to, two images will be exported for each source image. Make the suffixes unique to differentiate the two.
The extension of the File Type Selected (*.jpg, etc.) is appended to the filename.
Each image is exported.

**Dialog Fields**
*Series Root Filename*	The filename of every Image in the exported Image series will begin with this string.
Export as Type	The file will be exported in one of the following Supported formats: JPEG, TIFF, BMP or PNG.
Directory Path	This is the directory that will be processed
*Export as Full Size*	Checking this will cause all images to be exported full size.
Suffix	This is the suffix that will be appended to the exported Full Size Images.
Export Scaled To	Checking this option will cause all images to be exported after they have been scaled to Width and Height
*Width*	This is the Width [in pixels] of the exported images
Height	This is the Height [in pixels] of the exported images
Suffix	This is the suffix that will be appended to the exported images.
Pad Filename with Zeroes	Checking this option will left pad the appended number with zeroes to make them the same length - currently 4 digits. This is a work-around for the way that Windows sorts filenames. See Note 1 below
*Generate Unique Filename*	If a file already exists with a filename generated by this command, a unique filename will be created by appending a letter to the filename. See Note 2 below.
Overwrite Files	Check this option to automatically overwrite any file with a filename that matches one that the program generates.
*Image Quality*	If you are exporting the images as a JPEG, this determines the amount of compression. See Note 3 Below.

Notes

Note 1 - Pad Filename with Zeroes:

This feature is a workaround for the way Windows sorts filenames. For instance, if 21 images are loaded, the default exported filenames (with file as the Series Root Filename) would be:

file1, file2, file3, file4, ....file11, file12..., file20, file21

They would be sorted by Windows as (which is probably not what you want):

file1, file11, file12, file2, file20, file21, file3, file4....

When creating a series of sequential images for video clips or other purposes, checking the Pad Filenames with Zeroes box creates the following, which will sort correctly in Windows:

file0001, file0002, file0003, file0004, file0005, file0006, file0007, file0008, file0009, file0010, file0011, file0012, etc.

Note 2 - Check Box for Generate Unique Filenames

If a file already exists with the name that is generated for an image, the program will create a unique filename by appending letters onto the end of the filename. Example: If SampleImage1_scaled.jpg exists, the new file will be SampleImage1_scaleda.jpg

Note 3 - Image Quality

If you select to export the image as JPEG, use this option to select the amount of JPG compression

100 is smallest file, worst quality
75 is default
0 is largest file, best quality
