Hi. I have FP2002 which I built my site with.

I have some .tif picture files that I need to make accessible to people to
download the whole thing from my site. The .tif picture files are up to 3
pages.

I tried to do an autothumbnail but that was disasterous. That is not an
option.

I want them to click on a link or button or something I guess and be able to
download these .tifs HOW do I do this?

or do I have to put them in a big file and have it downloadable - and if
so - HOW would I even do that???

I have NO experience with this at all.

Please help!

Thanks!

Zip them outside of your web, then import and create hyperlink to each zip
file.

Thank you Mr. Rowe! Once again you have come to my rescue!

Seems so simple now that I did it, but I never EVER would have found it!
LOL!

THANKS

Howdy.

In most cases, you should either:
o Set up an ordinary hyperlink to the file, with a
message nearby telling visitors to right-click it
and then choose Save Target As from the shortcut menu.
o ZIP the file, add the ZIP archive to your Web, and set
up a hyperlink to it. This will always force a
download.

But, TIFs are humongous in file size and don't always show up in browsers?

If a browser won't display TIFF, then the file will probably download,
which is what the poster actually wanted.

As to file size, that depends on the image settings. If the image is
1-bit color and compressed, as is common with checks and FAX images,
the file size might be quite reasonable.

In my experience, TIFF is usually smaller than BMP, which has no
compression at all. True, TIFF is bigger than JPEG, but you can open
and save a TIFF file as often as you want with no loss of image
quality.

We use CCIT-4 compression on our TIFs at work. They are all 1-bit and
8.5x11s, with a DPI of 240. I zipped a folder of 6309 images (239MB) and it
ended as 230MB. As a bitmap it would be 660KB
