Resizing and Posting Your Layouts for the Gallery

[Darcy]

Here is a Guide to show you how to post your sized-for-web layouts to your own Digital Scrapper Member Gallery.

Size Requirements:

• No larger than 600 x 600 (or 600 on the longest side for rectangle scrappers)
• No larger than 250kb

For a tutorial on resizing your page for the web for optimal quality and minimum file size, check these out:

Photoshop Elements

Adobe Photoshop

(We'll get the information on size updated on these web pages updated shortly, but you can still use the general guidelines on how to do it, just plug in 600x600 and 250kb for the original values!)

Anyone may post to the Member's Gallery. If you are a Premier member, you may also post pages in the Premier Gallery using the Premier kit and the technique being featured for the current month.

We all love to have our work noticed, so when you post a layout to the gallery, make sure to leave a little love for someone else!

Some of the information on the PDF is outdated. For example, we are no longer doing the Week By Week Technique and posting bonuses, but the information on uploading to the gallery is great. Here is the PDF: Guide to Uploading Your Layout

I thought the size of a LO could be no larger than 125KB -- so is this a change? Just wondering....and welcome as our new forum director.

[Darcy]

It has changed, Ruth - We haven't made the official announcement, yet, but it has increased to make it easier on every one - and thanks for the welcome!

Woo-hoo! That's a great change! It will be so much easier to read journaling, too!! Go, DS, go!

How do you upload a two page layout as opposed to a single page? Is is done in one piece or do you have to split it and upload the pages separately?

[Darcy]

No-Ne - you have 2 choices - you can upload each page individually, or you can create a single spread in your photo editing program and upload that one as a single layout (making sure the longest side is not larger than 650).

Something I do is load each layout singly, then host a copy of the full single spread layout in my credits. I upload to a hosting site like Photobucket, then use the [im g] coding to paste into my credits so that you can see the full layout on whichever page you click on in the gallery.

Here's a sample of that:

Darcy thanks so much for your help. I was able to upload it to the gallery. It's smallish but still able to be viewed well enough. Thanks, again!
