These instructions are the same as How to Add an Image to Your Page, but are specific to IUP Stock Photography.
Adding images to your website is recommended, as it adds variety to your page.
There are two ways to add an image to your page: using the metadata and using the Library feature.
Metadata:
Use the metadata if the image is the main artwork for your page, and you want it to span the entire width of your page. The full-size image will display directly beneath the headline. You do not have control over size or placement using the metadata.
Library:
Use the Library if the image is only half the width of your page or if you want to control where in your content block the image displays. The Library feature gives you more control than the metadata over the size and placement of your image.
Adding an Image through Metadata
To add an image through the metadata, follow this process:
- While editing your main content block for the page, click on the Metadata tab and scroll down to Image Data. Click on Change. The Library Folder screen will come up. (See below.)
- On the left side of the screen, find and open the Units folder (open by clicking on it). Then find and open the P - Pq folder; then the Photographer folder, then the Gallery folder. Once you have opened the Gallery folder, you should see folders that organize our photographs by year and size.
- Choose a year, then a size. You should now see photos displaying on the right side of the screen. If you do not, make sure the pull-down list of object types reads “Images.”
- To search the Photographer’s library for the image you want, click on the Search icon (binoculars) on the top toolbar. The “Search Library Folder” screen comes up.
- Enter a keyword or keywords describing what kind of photo you want in the empty field. Keep in mind that the photos are different sizes, so choose a photo that is the size you need. Remember that a main image for your page should be two columns.
- Once you have found the image you want to use, double-click on it. The image’s file name will then be added to the blank field, and the image will be added to your page.
Adding an Image Using the Library Feature
Follow this process to insert an image using the Library feature:
- While editing your main content block for the page, place the cursor where you would like to add the image.
- Click the Library icon (
) and you will see the Library screen below:
- On the left side of the screen, find and open the Units folder (open by clicking on it). Then find and open the P - Pq folder; then the Photographer folder. Once you have opened the Photographer folder, you should see photos displaying on the right side of the screen. If you do not, make sure the pull-down list of object types reads “Images.”
- To search the Photographer’s library for the image you want, click on the Search icon (binoculars) on the top toolbar. The “Search Library Folder” screen comes up.
- Enter a keyword or keywords describing what kind of photo you want in the empty field. Keep in mind that the photos are different sizes, so choose a photo that is the size you need. Remember that a main image for your page should be two columns.
- Once you have found the image you want to use, double-click on it. The image will be placed into your content block.
- To adjust the alignment of the image, click on the image once. At the bottom of the content editor the Set Image Properties icon will appear (You may need to scroll down to see it). Click the Set Image Properties icon and the window will open (See below).
- Adjust the alignment as desired and click OK.
- The image height and width is entered automatically.
- If you forget to make changes to a picture after you have added it to the content block, you can click the picture and select the Set Image Properties icon below to bring the Image Properties box back up.
