Does it create web-friendly JPEG images for fast loading?

I am very interested in this software but did not get the chance to try it out though from what I have seen in the demo it is exactly what I was looking for. I would like to know if it creates a version of a photo which is web friendly for quick viewing on the web?

normal RAW photos ore edited JPEG are >30MB so I am uncertain on how quickly this can show thousands of huge photos

Hi @meldarionqeusse thanks for stopping by. Yes you should find that images in the UI are fast-loading JPEGs. Photonix has a thumbnailing service built in which produces smaller versions of photos for display. You won't tend to see the original files unless you click the download icon. The most frequently seen JPEGs are:

• 256x256px, 'cover', 50% quality, ~5-10KB
• 3840x3840px, 'contain', 75% quality, ~500KB-1MB

There is naturally a trade-off between size and quality. On our photo detail screen we load a slightly larger images than you may expect but this is because we still want to show a reasonable level of detail if the user tries to zoom in.

With relation to raw files, a full-size JPEG is created of all of these which is then used to create smaller thumbnails from.
