Download Options/Transform wizards

Image Download Options

A download wizard is normally a predetermined set of values that converts an image on download to a set specification. Most images will be stored on your DAM at the highest resolution to ensure good quality. Some of your users may only ever need to use the images as small web versions. In this case you could create a download wizard that converts the image to 72DPI in RGB mode on download; this means the images will always be at the correct resolution and colour mode for them to use, and therefore saving them time in having to open the images up and convert them. It’s a good idea to check with your design team when setting up download wizards as they will normally know what specifications are most commonly used by your end users.

Download options can also be created and used with any pages on your Brandworkz system that allow you to insert an image, such as a CMS page or web to print template for example. You can set the download wizard to have cropping options as well as colour mode and resolution which means users will not be able to use an image that won't fit.  

As long as you understand and have knowledge regarding image and photo file types, you can amend a download option in any way you choose.

Please note: Using a download option will not affect the original asset on your Brandworkz system
