Thanks for the suggestion guys. The top 2 were the best and both applicable. They had made my work easy.

In this article: https://www.elevated.com/guide-converti … ttp-https/ is the whole conversion process explained. Read especially step 4, the two first paragraphs (the CMS stuff will not be relevant for you).
The code mentioned in step 5 is for catching incoming links to your site, from visitors who may have bookmarked your site or have chanced upon an old link, it has nothing to do with the images.
So, if you want to have this changed sort of quickly, roll up your sleeves, brew some strong coffee and take your exported site, open the pages in the html Editor and use search and replace, removing the full url to your images, leaving the relative one starting with a '/'. (Or indeed, if you insist upon the full url, replace the http:// part with https://, but there is no reason why you should have full urls to resources on the same server).
For later, when you have time, go througth the pages in RSD and edit the links one by one. If you don't do that, you will have to run your pages through the search and replace process every time you have made an update.
Sorry for breaking such bad news, but if you are extremely lucky, someone may come up with a shortcut.

Hello Inger,
Thank you for your help. It's much appreciated.
You mentioned using relative url's for the images. The link that you reference also mentioned the advantage. Fortunately all hyperlinks on the website are relative url's.
All images have absolute url's. I used "online image" in the Design Tool of RSD (only way I could figure out how to do it back then.)
Changing images by adding the "s" to http seems to be the faster method.
I probably have to update all images and add the redirect all at once to avoid images that don't display. I don't know what the impact down the road will be.
I hope this will catch all direct links and external url's (links from Pinterest to website image).
If you had to make all images a relative url
- would you create a folder in "Resources" named "images"
-Then upload entire image folder from the server to RSD Resources
- the path will then be /images/xxxx.jpg
Thanks again.

If the options are, in RSD to change the full URLs to include the s or just change them to relative, I would prefer the latter. It would also be a 'shorter' way for the browsers to go looking for an image.
I would not CREATE an images folder in the RSD resources, I would just add the folder you already have, with the images inside, to the resources. Then I would open one page after the other and click on the 'change image' interface. The resources' image folder will open, and you just pick the image you want. It might be a good idea, in order not to pick the wrong image, if you have a second screen, or second computer, with a copy of your project file to compare with. That would also serve as a safety backup if something goes wrong.

Current websites will already have been indexed by Google and the http URL will need to be redirected to https. Thankfully there is a plugin that does the work.

Purchase an SSL certificate,
Install your SSL certificate on your website’s hosting account,
Make sure that any website links are changed from http to https so they are not broken after you flip the https switch, and
Set up 301 redirects from HTTP to HTTPS so that search engines are notified that your site’s addresses have changed and so that anyone who has bookmarked a page on your site is automatically redirected to the https address after you flip the switch.
