Fac/staff directory creation
The pictures that telecom take need to be renamed to the appropriate V number for each person.
Install Adobe photoshop 7.0 om your computer. In the programmers folder under ucs you'll see a folder called Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Settings. Copy this folder to c:\documents and settings/userid/application data/Adobe/Photoshop/7.0 This is where batch settings for photoshop get stored.
Open up the jpg pictures from telecom. Click on the upper left "Rectangular Marquee Tool" on the tool bar palette. Up above put Feather : 0 px Style: Fixed Aspect Ratio Width: 225 Height: 225
Frame the person's head and then click on image and then crop. Save the cropped image as a tiff file with no image compression.
Place these new tiff files in a seperate directory. When you have all the tiff files done, you're ready for the next step.
Click on file,automate, and batch. In the popup window, select the action directory_photo from the dropdown choices. Select the folder you put all the tiffs in as your source folder and whatever destination folder you want. When you click ok, all the tiffs will be processed one at a time. This creates the photos.
There is a Banner job pzrcdir that creates the directory info for fac/staff in a file. This file and the photos get used by a perl program Mike S runs that creates the directory.
