HOW-TO: Image Preparation

[Saraniel]

I forgot to mention that he copyright is a metadata integrated into the image (XMP -IPTC). It is not a text that will display on the image.
From Photoshop, go to file > file info > look at the Copyright Notice and Info URL. Here they are.

In regards to the file system error, this is maybe due to the destination directory string. Is there a space character after the c:\ ?

Best regards,

Another newbie here. I've uploaded all my products with EZ Populate, and have been working on the scripting and different images today. From everything I can see the files are in the right locations and with the right extensions, but the only size showing up is the thumbnail for all 3 views.

#1 is there something obvious that I'm missing?

#2 in the configuration/images menu which images do I set to 400 pixels (my large files) and which do I set to the 200 pixels (_MED)?

I'm grateful for any help.

Also, I used the kidsavenue script generator and I think it worked great!

Well I think I figured it out, I just hadn't put the .jpg extension on the product form.

I created three folders on my hard drive: thumbs, medium and large and marked the medium files _MED and large _LRG.

In my web-host's control panel (C-panel) I have a folder
"www. ..../store/admin/images/"
that includes folders "LARGE" and "MEDIUM" (those folders are populated with ZEN Cart template images of merchandise).

I tried uploading my images into those two folders and the images show up in my "product description page" and "larger image" pop-up window.

Now, here is the problem:
When I upload _MED image into MEDIUM folder, the image in both the MEDIUM and LARGE folders is medium size, and that is what is displayed in "product description page" and "larger image" pop-up window.
As soon as I upload a _LRG image into LARGE folder, the image in MEDIUM is replaced by the _LRG image.
If I re-upload the _MED image into MEDIUM folder, the _LRG image in the LARGE folder is replaced my a _MED image.
It keeps me running in circles.

What's up? Am I using a wrong folder/directory for uploads?

BTW, this is a problem, as I did not want to transform my Large image into a regular square the way I did my MED images. So where MEd size should go (product description) I get a very blurry, distorted image.

Are you doing the upload in a wholesale manner? That is, just dragging a folder of folders up? If so, try opening the medium folder locally and in your FTP window, and drag just the MED images from your local medium folder into the server's medium folder. Then do the same for the LRG images from and to the large folder. In other words, ftp the files into the existing folder structure. See if that fixes the problem.
