Welcome

Manual

Select the Photo tab on the property Description form to display the form below.  Initially, the New button will be the only one showing.

A property may have multiple photos associated with it and the program provides a simple method for people to view all the  photos. The photos are listed and shown in alpha-numeric order. To force the photos to be displayed in the order you wish, simply put a number at the beginning of each photo's "caption", with 1 for the first  photo, 2 for the second and so on. Captions help you identify the photo in this list but the customer never sees the caption.

Adding a New Photo

To add a new photo, click on the green "New" button at the top of the photo list. You may enter as many photos for a property as you want. The initial format for the photos may be any common format  (.jpg, .bmp, ...) except gif. The program will automatically convert any non-jpeg format into an optimized jpeg, re-size it to 320 pixels wide, and create a thumbnail for it. This feature makes it easy to keep a  uniform, professional look to your pages, and keep the Internet download times to a minimum, without having to become a graphics expert.

Note that a few cameras now output photos with illegal names. If your photo upload fails, check the name of the photo using Windows Explorer. The name should not have any spaces, but it MUST NOT have weird puctuation like commas or Sharp signs (no "," and no "#")

Edit an Existing Photo

To edit an existing photo's caption, click on the purple "Edit" button to the left of the photo's caption.

Deleting an Photo

To delete an existing photo, click on the red "Del" button to the left of the photo's caption. You will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the photo. The description of the photo and the photo  itself will be removed.

Uploading a Photo

Use the "Browse" button to locate the photo on your computer and then click the "Upload Photo" button.
