You can show multiple views of an artwork, such as
- detail of piece that shows brushwork, texture
- a view of the art framed
- different views of a 3D sculptural piece
There are 2 ways to accomplish this:
1. Add images directly into the description text field.
(covered in this document)
2. Use the FASO built-in feature that creates a "slideshow" of the images.
For this option, see FAQ:
Multiple Images per Artwork - Show Additional Views, Framed, Unframed, etc.
The following info outlines the process of adding multiple images to the Artwork Description text box.
Upload Images to Images folder
- login to FASO Control Panel
- click Images icon (upper row)
- click Add a New Non-Art Image
- follow the prompts
- click Next
- click Continue
It is helpful if you add a descriptive title to the Image Name field.
This field does not show on the website. The Image Name is for your reference only and enables you to locate the file.
Add Images to Artwork Description Field
- click Artwork icon (upper row)
- click thumbnail image (left column) or Edit (right column) for the image you wish to edit
- in the Description section, click Edit Content button
- place your cursor in the text editing screen where you wish to place the image
- click the Insert Image icon (looks like mountains & sun)
- A window will pop up with three ways to add an image:
- Add a New Image from Your Computer
- Use an Image that you've already uploaded
- Use an Image from the another Website
- click on your preference
- locate your image in the list of images
- click on the thumbnail to select it
- click 'Insert Medium Image', 'Insert Large Image' OR 'Insert Original Image'
- click Save or Save and Exit
'Insert Medium Image':
the image will show as a medium sized-image - 300 pixels in largest dimension.
'Insert Large Image':
the image will show as a large sized-image - 550 pixels in largest dimension.
'Insert Original Image':
the image will show as large as the original image you uploaded.
To resize the image:
- click on the image to select it
- click on Image Options icon
- for Dimensions field add desired pixel dimension to ONLY one field
The other dimension will automatically adjust. - make sure Constrain proportions is checked
This will assure that picture is re-sized proportionately - click Ok
- click Save and exit button (top left)
NOTE: Please do not make the 300 or 550 pixel images larger. They will not be sharp. If you want to show an image larger than 550 pixels, you will need to insert a large Original image and then size it down (in most cases).
