Thursday Tip: How to size your images Mini and Standard Sites

Shannon — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 15:04:32 +0000

As photographers the most important part of your website is your images. You want to make sure they shine and look their best. This article will tell you the best way to prepare your images for your website template.

To start with all the templates have different requirements.

Standard and Mini Templates:

The standard and mini templates have fixed sizes on the images. This means if you import an image that is bigger then the editor accepts the editor will automatically reszie the image. So if you cropped your image in photoshop your image will be downsized again, which can result in pixelation.

The best practice is to start with the full resolution image and then crop your images to the editor size. All sizes are also listed on the batch import button as well and are at 72DPI.

Mini Editors:

Note the Mini editor resize your images when imported. For best results we always recommend you start with a full resolution image and crop it to the maximum size the editor will accept. You can also see the pixel size when you click on batch import to the editor.

Austin:
All images can be imported at 1900×1200 pixels to have a full screen effect. Note if you do not want this make your images smaller.

This editor does not have. Image on the text page but takes a background image. For the best results when using a photograph use the dimension 1900×1200 pixels at 72DPI.

08A:
All images are now full screen. The best way to prepare them is to crop them to 1900×1200 pixels for the home page slideshow. The editor will downsize the images for the gallery to rougly 800×600 pixels.

That’s it!

Tech Tuesday: Versions and Updates

The biggest question we get from clients is how to know if you are using the latest version of the editor you purchased.

To find out what version you have open your editor up. On the upper left hand side is the name and version number of the editor. This is important to send to use when you have a question about your site, as sometimes all that you need to do to correct the problem is update your editor.

To find out if you are using the latest version of your editor:

Go to FlashPalette’s website
Click on the editor you have purchased
Then click on the try button.
You will see the vesrion number listed the third line down.
If your version is a lower number then the one on our site you need to update your site.

To update your editor:

What you need to do so that your site reflects the changes we have made:

1. Download the new editor.

2. Install the new version — when you open your editor it should say Tristan version 3.0.XX

3. Open the editor – You will need to in put your license code

4. Click Save in your editor — this will update your site files.

5. Reload the site files on your server. Best practice is to delete the old files first, to make sure the changes take!

6. Update these files on your server.

xml folder
.swf files
mail.php
.fpc file
flashobject.js

You do not need to reload your images, unless you have made changes to them, and then you would need to load the folders with changes.

As always, let us know if you have any questions.
