The Image Bank is where you will upload images for use in your site. You will upload page images and gallery images here per the specifications for your particular design found on the Design Specifications page.

Image Bank Viewing

You can view your Image Bank images by list or as thumbnails. You can also delete images from your image bank by selecting the box next to the image and scrolling to the bottom of the page and chosing to Delete.

Step 1. Prepare Images for Image Bank

Step 2. Name Images:

Before adding images to your image bank it is important to name your files something you will recognize later.

For example:  when uploading an image to be used on your pricing page– name the image pricing.jpg prior to uploading so it will be easy to find in the image bank when adding to the Pricing page. The same is true for gallery images. Put some sort of prefix on your files that are all related to the same gallery so you can easily find, sort and add to that particular gallery.

 *Remember, when saving images, avoid special characters in your file name (# or &)

Step 3. Upload Images
 

To upload images click ‘Upload Images’ under the images tab in your admin. Hit the green  icon.

Select the images you want to upload and hit the UPLOAD button.

You can also load your images straight into your galleries once they have been created. One thing to note is that there are categories, and galleries that can be created under the Images tab.

**Categories are for organizing your galleries–they do not house any images.  A standard design can support one category (ex: Portfolio) whereas a premium design can support multiple categories (ex: Weddings, Portraits, & Seniors).

Ex: under the Wedding category, you could create the galleries “Jami and Jason”, & “Mike and Linda”.  

Once you have galleries created, then you can upload images to them by going to the “upload images” link, in the sub navigation menu.

use the drop down menu, select your gallery and click the green plus icon  to add images to it.

To see what the thumbnail of your images will look like, go to Image Bank, click on an individual image, the thumbnail of that image will show in the upper left corner.
