&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.&amp;nbsp;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 &lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Product Type&lt;/span&gt; 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;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under the &quot;&lt;strong&gt;upload&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; directory on your server, there may be some folders that are named as &quot;&lt;strong&gt;admin&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; or the photographer&#039;s username. 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;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click on the &lt;img style=&quot;vertical-align: top;&quot; src=&quot;images/admin/import_hi_res.gif&quot; alt=&quot;import hi-res&quot; /&gt; icon to import the hi-res Images to the gallery that were uploaded by the admin. To import the hi-res images for a particular photographer, you will need to click on the Import Icon for the particular photographer under the &lt;strong&gt;Photographers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/errow.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Active Photographers&lt;/strong&gt; section. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click on the Import Icon &lt;img style=&quot;vertical-align: top;&quot; src=&quot;images/admin/import.gif&quot; alt=&quot;import&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; /&gt; for a particular file to import it to the database&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fill-in all appropriate info to the provided fields. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enter 0 to any product type field that is not available for this image. The Dimension that shows in the Product Type section is the dimension that you have configured in the Product Type Instant Download Configuration. The system will auto calculate the other dimension based on the uploaded image&#039;s dimension and its orientation. The N/A in the PPI column indicates a print or delivery product and the system will not generate download files for these product types. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click on the &lt;strong&gt;Submit&lt;/strong&gt; button to import this image into the gallery. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To import multiple high-res files at once, tick the respective checkboxes and click on the &quot;Import All&quot; ion.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fill-in all appropriate info to the provided fields. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click on the &lt;strong&gt;Submit&lt;/strong&gt; button to import the selected hi-res images into the gallery. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE&lt;/strong&gt;: You must have ImageMagick&amp;copy; installed in order to use this function. Depending on your server configuration, this operation may take some time to process the download, display and thumbnail files. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
