batch image reduction #35

Closed ebeshero closed 6 years ago

ebeshero commented 6 years ago

@zme1 My server's at a dangerously overloaded point, so we need to reduce some image sizes. (This project is far and away the one with the heaviest footprint on the server, and that's due entirely to its img directory.) I've run a batch reduction on the images and output the reduced versions in a new directory, meetingMinutesRedux. Photoshop was able to reach in to all the subfolders to find images in my batch process, but unfortunately, it wouldn't file them in the same deeply nested directory structure, but just output them all at the same level. On the plus side, the process reduced the footprint of all those images from 498 MB to 98 MB, and I think you'll see little difference on the web view!

@zme1 I've replaced the images on the web server with these reduced versions, and I'm not seeing much difference. Take a look at the Toscana site and make sure everything's okay!

@zme1 Note: This pull request won't overwrite your original images here on GitHub. It just adds a new image directory containing reduced file sizes.
