Uploading an Image
|
| What kind of images can I post? |
Photofolia is quite eclectic with regards to content. Nude photos and
photos with offensive content (prejudice, critiques to other´s culture,
religion, moral values, and pedophilia) are not acceptable and will be
removed.
|
| How do I upload a photo? |
In any page, in the horizontal tab up in the page, click on
“Add New” >> “Photo”. Choose the image in
your files and click “Upload Photo”. Please provide as
much technical info as possible. Members are requested to provide an
explanatory note about the shot. It can be the reason why you took
this shot, a question regarding technical issues related to this image,
etc.
|
| How do I delete a photo? |
Go to “My Menu” >> “My Gallery”. You can either edit
the information you provided or delete the image. Please bear in mind that, by
deleting an image, the whole content (EXIF, your text, critiques and replies) will
be deleted too.
|
| I uploaded a photo but changed my mind and I want to post
another photo. Can I upload the desired photo immediately after having deleted the first
one? |
No. Once you have uploaded one file, you will be able to upload
your next image only 24 hours later, Pacific Standard Time. As for workshops, you can
upload two images per day.
|
| How many images can I upload? |
Any PF member is allowed to upload one image per day (Pacific
Standard Time).
|
| Which size should I upload? |
If your image has an horizontal orientation, the width must be 800
pixels. If the orientation is vertical, the width must be 600 pixels.
If it has a perfect square format, the width should be 800 pixels.
Please bear in mind that the site will resize any other different width
to fit the frame, and in such cases there will be a loss in sharpness.

Text Format
|
| I have just written a critique, hit “Send” but the new page just
looks like nothing happened. I think that my critique was not accepted.
Did I do something wrong? |
Your critique was uploaded! What happens is that your critique was
recorded but with the open text box. This feature allows
you to re-edit your text at any moment. Once you're done with the re-editing
you just need to hit the button "Send" again and “voilà!” your text is
updated.
You can also check whether your critique was uploaded and updated at "My Critiques >> Given".
In case it was not, please do not hesitate to contact us!
|
| How do I add a hyperlink to my intro, notes, critiques and replies? |
- Insert following HTML code in your note:
‹a href="http://www.the-site-that-you-want-to-connect-to.com"›your-text‹/a›
- If you want the hyperlink to open a new page, use:
‹a target="_blank" href="http://www.the-site-that-you-want-to-connect-to.com"›your-text‹/a›
- If you want to change the font of the hyperlink to make clear to everyone that this is a link you
might place ‹em› at the front and
‹/em› at the end of the above cited HTML codes.

Rating System
|
| Is there a point system? |
No, there is not. Photofolia´s goal is to allow its
members engage in a learning process about the world and photography and not
to support any kind of competitions. However, pretty soon the site will have
some statistical features to allow each member some conclusions regarding
the popularity of his or her individual photographs.
