How Quick Renditions work
If the site administrator has defined Quick Renditions for an archive, you can request a preview of an image asset at any predefined size. FotoWeb will resize the picture on the fly and display it in an overlay window in the browser, allowing you to drag it directly to your desktop.
Note
The site admin may have configured watermarking of the downloadable previews.
Downloading a preview
In the main FotoWeb interface, click on a thumbnail in an archive to open the Details page. The Quick Renditions section is located below the image title to the left of the preview.
When you select the size you want to download, FotoWeb creates a preview of the selected size and opens it in an overlay on the Asset Details page.
Now you can drag it to your desktop to store it locally.
Did you know?
The requested quick rendition can also be dragged from the web browser to a local application, such as a document or a presentation.
If you're using Microsoft Office on Windows, the plugin for Microsoft Office offers greater control and more functionality when inserting pictures and graphics into your documents.
