Manage Photos

While editing a listing at the listing detail edit form, or after choosing Manage Photos at the Edit menu, you can upload your own photos or pull in available photos at Photo Library. With the photo work space displayed, you can preview the listing with photos, add photo descriptions, and move or delete photos. You can also edit and format a selected photo.

When displayed in the listing and photo gallery, each photo is placed in a rectangular space in 4:3 aspect ratio (1/3 wider than tall). While photos of any shape can be displayed within that space, your photos will look best if you ensure they are the same shape as the space. You may optionally use the Crop tool in the Photo Editor to fit them to the standard rectangle. See "Edit Photos".

Notes:

• No photos are visible until at least one is added.
• Once you add photos to the work area, a thumbnail photo displays for each, and the Edit action is available.
• Photos that don't match the standard shape display with an asterisk *, an alert prompting you to review them.
