1. A system for preparing a file for downloading over a link, the system comprising:
- one or more processors; and
a computer-readable storage device, comprising instructions operable to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising;
receiving a selection for a file to prepare for downloading over a link;
retrieving current settings reflective of desired settings for compressing the file, the current settings defining a first compressed file size for the file;
automatically deriving alternative compression settings, the alternative compression settings including compression settings scaled from the current settings and defining alternative compressed file sizes for the file, the alternative compressed file sizes being different from the first compressed file size; and
substantially simultaneously presenting to a user a plurality of variations of the file where at least one variation is generated using the current settings and at least one variation is generated using one or more of the alternative compression settings that define the alternative compressed file sizes of the variation.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for preparing an image for downloading over a link. The method includes receiving a user selection for an image to prepare, retrieving current user settings reflective of desired settings for compressing the image and automatically presenting a plurality of variations of the image to the user where each variation is derived using compression settings that are scaled from the current user settings.

13. A system for preparing a file for downloading over a link, the system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a computer-readable storage device, comprising instructions operable to cause the one or more processors to perform the following operations; receiving one or more compression settings for compressing the file and a number specifying how many variations of the file are to be generated, the received compression settings defining a first compressed file size for the file; automatically deriving a plurality of alternative compression settings that are different from the received compression settings and define alternative compressed file sizes for the file, the alternative compressed file sizes being different from the first compressed file size; using the derived alternative compression settings to generate at least one variation that has an alternative compressed file size in a plurality of variations of the file, the plurality of variations including as many variations as specified by the received number; and substantially simultaneously presenting two or more of the plurality of variations of the file. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
