Are they going to review images for possible publication this way? Or are they going to actually download high res images as well? File size will be dependent on their submission requirements. For simple viewing on the web somewhere between 800 to 1,000 pixels on the long side is standard with a file size of about 350KB. For print publication they will need full resolution files at 300ppi. I think Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 is one of the the best image programs that allows easy batching.Ernesto Santos

They want me to upload all images to an open site where they can retrieve them. Web quality images, no high res.Visit my Nikonians gallery.

esantos Nikonian since 10th Nov 2002Thu 06-Sep-12 11:42 AMMost free photography sites limit how much you can upload to their servers. Since you are shooting sports I would imagine you will have a lot of images. A pay account for most photo hosting sites is not at all expensive, usually less than $40/year. There are many sites that offer different features: PBase, Flicker, 500px, etc.Ernesto Santos

Hi,
one solution might be to get your own domain and space. Then you could use Lightroom's Web module to set up and upload your images to the site -- if any of the available formats for the image shows generated by Lightroom suits you.
Having your own site would free you from any limitations that a semi-free photography site might have and it doesn't cost more. If you just upload them from Lightroom to a uniquely named folder, you don't have to learn even basic HTML to display your images. Just send a web address of the folder to your clients.
For example, if I had a domain 'myowndomain.com', I might need to use destination 'ftp://www.myowndomain.com/web/client-A/session-2012-09-08/\' to upload the images from Lightroom (the actual folder naming is operator-specific). Then I would send the web address 'http://www.myowndomain.com/client-A/session-2012-09-08/\' to my client 'A' to look at the images. Setting up access rights in 'mydomain.com' so that clients have access only to their own images is not very hard and is documented by the operator.
Best regards,
Kari

What's the preferred software for batch processing? This is my first paid gig shooting college (SEC) football. Cost is an issue. I currently have NX2 and Aperture (of which I am not proficient).
