File: shrinkpix/examples/_README.txt
This folder has example runs and screenshots for the shrinkpix system. The example*.txt usage examples... demo running shrinkpix from a console, and use the diffall.py script to verify restore results. diffall.py is part of the Mergeall system, available at learning-python.com/mergeall.html. Usage on Unix and Windows is largely the same; all docs here use Unix, apart from a brief Windows example at the end of *-part2.txt. The screenshots*/ folders... are thumbspage galleries, whose images were first shrunk with shrinkpix, except for three originals saved in the verify folder for comparison. Click these folders' index.html files if you're viewing off-line. Folder screenshots-1.1-exif-dimensions/ demos the Exif dimensions tag fix in version 1.1, and screenshots-1.1-verify/ shows captures of the program's general results. Subtleties: in folder screenshots-1.1-verify/, see the Exif tag shots for florida.JPG's three versions; image size may be deduced from actual content in some contexts. Also in the same folder, image z-thumbspage was first rotated by thumbspage, and then shrunk by shrinkpix 1.1; see its unrotated/unshrunk original in its folder. The client-usage-cheatsheets-notes.txt file... is rough notes that document how shrinkpix is deployed in the initially targeted website, both with and without a separate collection folder (a human script of sorts). The _subpar-pngs/ folder... has examples of ways that current results may be subpar for some PNGs. These crop up rarely (and haven't been seen in JPEGs), but you may want to watch out for these in your results if you're focused on quality, and prefer some quality losses over others.
