Do you use the swatch images?

I'm trying to figure out what is the best size for the swatch images. If you use them, can you show me your website and tell me what size you make the images?

I'll be using it for fabric choices.

Thanks bunches! Jules

Re: Do you use the swatch images?

I've just started working on this part but since no one has replied yet I'll let you know what I am doing.

My images are set to 100 pixels per inch

The size I am working with is 100 x 80

That is ok if you are working with a solid, not so good if you are trying to show a pattern repeat.

If you will have images that show patterns make sure you scale them alike, or include a ruler as a boarder so people can get an idea of scale.

CAUTION!! Make sure to put on your disclaimer about how image colors can very greatly from one monitor to another, otherwise you might have some grumpy customers.

Good luck!

Re: Do you use the swatch images?

Thank you so much for this. :hug:

If you can update as you go along, I think it will be really helpful for myself and others ... since there's not a lot of info on this.

HUGz! Jules
