Adding a Photo to Your Personal Page

You can insert a photo or other piece of artwork to display on your Personal Page by uploading a file that contains a digital photograph or a graphics file that contains your artwork. By default, the photo must be in a .jpg format and is subject to a size limitation. The valid file type and size information will display as page instructions in the photo insertion area.

When you upload a .jpg, the system automatically resizes the image to fit in the designated page space as well as in a thumbnail area. To avoid distortion, the system resizes your photo starting with the largest dimension of the height or width to equal the valid measurement, and then sizes the other dimension in perspective. For example, if your original photo is 8x10, the system will resize the 10-inch height to 6 inches and the width to 4.8 inches.

Before you upload your image file, you may want to open it in your favorite graphics application and resize or crop the image for the best fit especially if the photo is quite large.

In addition, you can insert a caption to display below your photo in this area.

Note: If you have selected the layout with two photos, you will see an additional photo and caption area.
