Before you can edit your book, you must have photo images to add to your book; so, the first thing to do is add photos to your account.
To add photo image files to your account:
1. Click on the <Add photos> button. You can also access the "Add" function from the "My Book" and "My Stuff" pages.
2. Click on the <#1 - Add From> drop-down menu and select your source for the photo image files that you want to upload. In most cases this will be <My Computer>.
3. Click on <Get Files from My Computer>.
Your own computer's "File Manager" window will open.
4. Navigate to the folder on your hard drive where you have saved the photo image file(s) to be uploaded.
5. Select an image file by clicking on it.
a. If you wish to include more than one image file from a single folder, you can hold down the <Control> key [PC] or the <Command> key [Apple] while you click on multiple files. <Control/Command> + <A> will select all the files.
6. Click on <Open/Save>.
In the next box you will need to indicate which Ring(s) the uploaded image files are to be placed.
7. Click on the <#3 - Choose a ring to organize your images:> drop-down menu, and then choose an existing "Ring."
a. If you want to place the image file(s) in a folder that doesn't exist yet, you can click on <Create a New Ring>, then enter a name for the new ring, and then click on <OK>.
8. If you want to place your image file(s) in a "Community Ring" as well, open the <#4 - Share with your community> drop-down menu and then select the appropriate Community Ring. This is not mandatory.
Please do not place shared image files in a Community Ring that is not the appropriate category.
9. Click on the <#5 - Who can see these images?> drop-down menu and select who will have access to this folder of image files. The default setting [and the recommended setting] is <All of Our Savior's Lutheran School & Friends>. This will allow other parents whose children may also be in your photos to be able to utilize these images in their child's yearbook as well.
If you selected a Community Ring [in step 8], "All of Our Savior's..." is chosen for you.
10. Click on <Next> to begin your upload.
The "Upload" window will display your upload's progress and success. Depending on your image file sizes, and your Internet connection speed, each image file can take between 5 and 20 second to upload. For a dozen or more photos this can take several minutes. You can click on the <Hide> button to remove the upload window from view; however, if you do so, be careful not to disconnect your Internet connection or shut down your computer prior to the completion of the upload.
