Folder & FTP Watch

Automate your photo editing workflow with a consistent process by creating hot folders with associated custom scripts that will be applied only to the newly added or modified images.

The Monitor is a component of BatchPhoto Enterprise that will monitor an unlimited number of folders on your computer, network or sites (through FTP), and for each monitored folder it can apply a custom set of edits whenever images are added or modified.

Imagine transferring a few hundred RAW images from your DSLR digital camera to an hot folder and in a few minutes having all those images automatically resized, rotated, watermarked with a logo, renamed, converted to TIFF and uploaded to a FTP account. All of this without you having to make a single click!

All of BatchPhoto features can be used for editing images from monitored folders. This is not an exhaustive list:

  • Add Watermarks as either text or logos.
  • Add multi-line Text Comments or imprint the original Date/time as recorded by the digital camera in the EXIF metadata record
  • Change image size automatically since BatchPhoto can make the difference between portrait and landscape photos
  • Automatically rotate photos based on the information embedded by digital cameras with orientation sensors (most modern cameras)
  • RAW development, with support for almost all RAW image formats from all camera vendors, including: Canon, Sony, Nikon, Olympus, Fuji, Kodak, Pentax, and more.
  • Read and convert to 170+ image formats, including: JPEG, TIFF, PNG, PDF, GIF, BMP, TGA, PSD, JP2, and more.
  • Rename images with a powerful customization tool that allows the use of keywords and search & replace in filenames
  • Directly upload to FTP, or to social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Picasa.
  • Apply custom touch-ups like: Auto Contrast, Auto Gamma, Levels, Sharpen, Reduce Noise, and more.
  • Apply special effects like: Black & White, Sepia, Charcoal, Borders, Shadows, Polaroid frames, and more.

You can download and test BatchPhoto Enterprise for free. This is the fully-featured version with an watermark applied on the processed images.

Note: BatchPhoto works with Windows® XP, Vista, 7 as well as the other Windows systems.
