File Type
You must use "jpeg" images (ending in .jpg) for your profile. This is the best format for
photographs on the Web. Digital cameras usually save in this format. Note for Macintosh
Users: the file name must end in .jpg in order to be seen on the web. |
|
|
|
Naming Your Images
Do not use spaces or punctuation in your image names, except for the dot before the
extension (.jpg or .gif). If you use spaces or punctuation in your image names, the
images may not display. Notice to MAC users: you must include the extension, and you
cannot add anything after it. |

|
Cropping
Most profiles look best with square images. You may want to crop your images to make
them square, or remove less important areas. Cropping helps visitors focus on details
you want to emphasize-- and may improve the overall look of your listing. |

|
Image Size
Our system automatically scales your images to the correct size. If you have a very
large image file (over 1MB) you may wish to scale it down to upload faster.
Please refer to any specific instructions in your profile selection. |
|
|
|
Image Resolution
Always save your files on the Web at 72 dpi at “high” quality. Saving images at
“very high” quality will not result in a noticeable difference but will cause your profile to
display more slowly. |
|
|
|
Sharpening Your Images
Sharpening photos should be the last step you take before you save and upload them
to your profile. |

Helpful Hints: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a JPEG (.jpg) image is opened, edited
and saved multiple times, the image will
degrade. So minimize the number of
editing sessions between the initial and
final version of your JPEG images. |
