Video Transcript
There are three steps required to create an image gallery on the Print Science Designer server.
One: Prepare images with Photoshop, Corel, and so on.
A: High-resolution CMYK image.
B: Low-resolution RGB image.
Two: Create image gallery.
Three: Upload images into image gallery.
Using image editing software like Photoshop, Paintshop, or GIMP, we have created all the images required for the image gallery.
The low-resolution version of the image is seen by the customer during the design online process.
Acceptable file formats are PNG and JPG.
The high-resolution version of the image is inserted into the PDF file created after the design online process is finished.
Acceptable file formats are TIFF and JPG.
TIFF files can have LZW or JPG compression.
This is the high-resolution CMYK file in an uncompressed TIFF format.
When no compression is applied, the file size can be large.
This is the same CMYK TIFF with JPG compression applied.
This is the same CMYK TIFF with LZW compression applied.
This is the low-resolution version of the image.
Once all the image files are prepared, we log in to our account on the Designer server and then create the image gallery.
The name for the image gallery is not seen by your customer.
Here is confirmation the image gallery was created successfully.
Once the image gallery is created, we can add images to the new image gallery.
The name you assign for each image is not seen by your customer.
Select the high-resolution file.
If you leave this box checked, the system will automatically create a low-resolution image.
When this box is unchecked, you can upload a low-resolution image that you created.
Select the low-resolution file.
Select the image gallery that will contain this image.
Here is confirmation that the file upload functioned correctly.
Now we can upload additional images.
If we click on this link, we can see all the images inside the image gallery.
