&lt;p&gt;This function allows you to import photographer hi-res images from photographer&#039;s directory under the &quot;&lt;strong&gt;upload&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; directory to the system. When a new photographer is added to the system, it will automatically create a new folder under the &quot;&lt;strong&gt;upload&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; folder with the photographer&#039;s username. You can take advantage of this feature, by creating an FTP account for each photographer and grant the permission on their folder only. If you are not sure how to create FTP accounts, you will need to contact your hosting provider for assistance. In doing so, each photographer would be able to use their FTP account to upload their hi-res images to your server. Using an FTP client to upload hi-res images to the server is more efficient than doing so via your web browser. The admin user or photographer is able to import the hi-res images to the gallery as desired once their hi-res images have been upload to the server.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This feature will automatically generate the download files, the display files and the thumbnail files from the high-resolution images that are uploaded to the &quot;&lt;strong&gt;upload&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; folder. This option is only available when you have ImageMagick&amp;copy; Installed on your server and you have input the correct path in the Media Configuration. Also, the system only supports JPG or JPEG file formats when using this feature. The system will only generate the download files when the uploaded hi-res image satisfies the minimum dimension that are configured in the Product Type section. When there is no instant download configured for a particular product type, the system would recognize it as a print or delivery product and it would not generate the download files for these product types. Also, if you don&#039;t have any product types added when importing the hi-res images to the gallery, the system won&#039;t be able to generate the download files and you will need to manually generate the download files for the display images later if you want to offer them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Download&lt;/strong&gt; Images will be generated based on the instant download dimensions that you have configured for the particular product type. A product type with no instant download dimensions will be recognized as print product, so no download image will be generated for that product type.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Display&lt;/strong&gt; images will be generated based on the &quot;Resize To&quot; dimension that is configured in the Media Configuration section.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thumbnails&lt;/strong&gt; will be generated based on the Thumbnail Configuration that is in the Media Configuration section.&lt;/p&gt;
