Secure Image Pro version 5.0 can be operated from the Desktop as a normal Windows application or it can be used in command line mode.

Installation

Copy the "SecureImage" folder to your computer. If using a server environment it is recommended to install at C:\SecureImage. The command line converter (CMD) uses ProDefaults.dat for default settings such as the watermark image to use, etc, if those options are required.

First run

Before running CMD in command line mode you need to set the ProDefaults.dat file for your default settings.

1. Run the Windows GIU by double clicking on SecureImagePro.jar
2. Add an image
3. Highlight the image and click the Configure button
4. Run through the wizard for Targeted Link
5. Set Watermark for Mac and Linux only
6. Set watermark image (watermark.gif in the same folder as SecureImagePro.jar)
7. Click Finish
8. With the image still highlighted click on the Protect button
9. Select the output folder and click Open
10. The converter will save all new files to that location
11. Close the converter GUI and select YES to "Save new settings"

The ProDefaults.dat now contains your default settings.

Command line operation

Secure Image Pro CMD is designed for high end users, those encrypting images in volume for deployment on the fly. The CMD converter will encrypt single images or batches of images nominated by folder. The recommended parameters to use are:

    • Targeted Link as nominated display style
    • Watermark image to use
    • Background and text colours
    • Border size if required

The parameters to use in the command line:

    • i <input folder> or -f <input file>
    • o <output folder>
    • s <settings file> (optional)
    • v <viewer folder>

If no settings file is nominated the converter will use it's inbuilt defaults. The viewer folder must be present to provide some of the resources that are delivered in the final output. For example:

For batch conversion by folder using ProDefaults.dat settings:

java -jar SecureImagePro.jar -i c:\SecureImage\in -o c:\SecureImage\out -v c:\SecureImage\Viewer -s c:\SecureImage\ProDefaults.dat

For single file conversion using ProDefaults.dat settings:

java -jar SecureImagePro.jar -f c:\SecureImage\in\myimage.jpg -o c:\SecureImage\out -v c:\SecureImage\Viewer -s c:\SecureImage\ProDefaults.dat
