Ah ha moment concerning taking a catalog online

Many a web designer has had that dreaded email from a client, subject line: pictures for the products page, widgets page, etc and seen one lone attachment in the form of a microsoft word file.

so that is the exchange that happend to me as of recent and about a quarter into the images, doing save as from the right click menu it hit me.  So instead of the tedious repeatition of ‘Save As’… ‘Save As’  …., I just saved the document as a web page and raided the ‘Images folder’, renaming documents kicks the crap out of save as, and bonus: the image quality and size was much better.

As I am often late to the party for those who know this trick excuse my ignorance, for those who don’t, well you are most welcome.

Take that ‘Save As’.
