Gallery Section FAQs

You can either upload the photo directly without choosing the save for web option. So just 'save as' and choose JPEG or if you have Photoshop CS3 or above then there are options to 'save for web' and keep the exif data. To do this choose 'All' from the Metadata drop down

An RC is short for Reader's Choice and is awarded automatically to any Photo that reaches 30 votes.

This is because you need to upload in the dimensions of 1000x1000 pixels in size. We cannot resize the image upwards in size as this would cause resolution problems.

It's not an error. Many visitors don't have time or feel compelled to leave a comment, but they can still click to say they like a photo without commenting.

The number next to the blue heart only represents how many people have clicked to say they like your photo. It bears no relation to the number of comments made.

We don't like people advertising their interests on our gallery without contacting us first. Such material will be removed.

From time to time, we purge our database of data relating to photos that have been deleted.

When this happens, all associated comments are deleted, as there's no point storing comments for a photo that doesn't exist.

When this happens, the number of comments you've made will decrease. This is nothing to worry about.

Not everyone has time/wants to comment. A click is a sign of appreciation, a comment takes longer to add and, because of this, the click number may be higher.

Photos that are selected as Readers' Choice Awards are added to the Readers Choice page in the order that they were uploaded, not when they receive the award.

So if your photo has been on ePHOTOzine for a few weeks or more it may be several pages back on the awards section.

You can browse your favourite subjects and exclude ones you do not want to view. Tick the boxes to select categories you want to view. The duration column, on the right, will show all the photos in your selected categories for the time frame you select. "Set All to Yes" selects all categories. "Set All to No" deselects all categories. When you have made your choice click the "Apply Filter" button

When you upload you need to fill in a photo title, the image field and at least one category - camera exif data is extracted automatically.

These photos have been uploaded by e2 members at 1000x1000 pixels in size.

This is part of the Version Gallery - an e2 member feature that can be used as a learning tool and also a showcase for your digital skills. The Before and After Gallery allows e2 members to upload their edited "after" photo as normal, but also allows the original "before" and intermediate pictures to be uploaded under the same photo. Members can then hover over each version to compare results.

This option is for adding the photo to your user award shortlist. The shortlist allows you to keep a small list of photos that you might give your award to.

This can happen if you use Adobe RGB (1998) colour space.

Make sure that you convert your image to sRGB before you upload for best results.
