TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
"Batch processing is a convenient way to automatically
convert a group of graphic files. When batch processing,
choose from these options:
Convert a selection of files to another format.
Convert a selection of files to the same format
with different optimization settings.
Scale exported files.
Find and replace text, colors, URLs, or fonts."
Note that I haven't used this part of FW (no need).
I've been a FW user for only a few months (a Corel user
for 9 years), and I can't say I love everything about it,
but it definitely does a fantastic job with web graphics
(including GIFs).
Fireworks is from Macromedia (makers of the excellent
Dreamweaver). I *think* you can download a trial version
of FW, fully featured, so you could try out the batch
processing. (Maybe even finish the job! :-)
