A Simple Workflow Example
Step 1 Get the album id for the album containing the images you want to download to your hard drive. The album id can be found in the address when accessing a SmugMug gallery. It is the text between the / and the #. If you are going to download from more than a few albums, see the MakeAlbumList section in this document for another way to get the album ids.
Step 2 Open a command prompt window.
Step 3 Enter the commands that are highlighted, in yellow, in the example below.

Note: If the album requires a password and you are not logging in as the owner, then append "password=[password]" to the end of the album key as shown in the example above. You can keep entering album keys (followed by enter). When the album list is complete type "eof" and hit enter. Processing will then begin.
Hint: One can use Windows Explorer to examine the downloaded jpgs during processing. If you discover that the wrong options were specified, you can abort by entering a control-C, deleting the files, and then using the up-arrow to modify the last command entered before issuing the command again.
