How can I add a slideshow to the top of my gallery pages?
You can add a slideshow to the top of your gallery pages (like the one you see here) by using the SLIDESHOW() function in your gallery description.

Basic Functionality
To create a slideshow from a single gallery:
SLIDESHOW(gallery name)

To create a slideshow from a set of image ids:
SLIDESHOW(1,2,3,4,5)
Invalid image ids or images from an account other than your own will be skipped.

These 2 commands will get you a simple slideshow with all of the default settings.


Extra Options
You may add options within the parentheses in the form of option=value. Each option must be separated by a comma. Please ensure that the option is in lowercase.
size
set to small, medium, large, or original. Max original size is 800x800.
Default is 'medium'.

delay
set the time that an image is displayed in seconds. Minimum is 2 seconds.
Default is 5 seconds.

link
set to none or image. 'none' will disable the link to the current image's image page.
Default is 'image'.

loop
set to yes or no. 'no' will cause the slideshow to play only once.
Default is 'yes'.

random
set to yes or no. 'yes' will cause the slideshow to play in random order.
Default is 'no'.

Examples
A slideshow for your 'kittens' gallery might look like this:
SLIDESHOW(kittens, size=large, delay=3)

A slideshow for three given images might look like this:
SLIDESHOW(11111, 22222, 33333, size=original, delay=10, loop=no)

It does not matter in what order you specify options. All options are optional. If you specify more than one item outside of your options, we will attempt to lookup image_ids. We currently do not support the ability to list multiple galleries.

Custom Framing FAQ
FAQ
We're working on a new upload system that will allow you to have a print-only version of a photo, which will not be viewable by others, but will be used for printing. For now, you can upload high-resolution images to a password protected gallery to prevent others from accessing them.

No. With our custom framed print service, we are able to print any size image in increments of 1/8 inches.

Our printers use 44 inch wide rolls of paper, so your prints can be up to 40 inches wide and as long as necessary. Larger prints require higher resolutions.

We ensure that all of our prints at least have 100 pixels per inch.
Print Dimensions
(inches)
Minimum Image Dimensions
(pixels)
8 x 10 800 x 1000
10 x 12 1000 x 1200
16 x 20 1600 x 2000
40 x 60 4000 x 6000

Not yet. Currently you are the only one who can purchase prints of your images.
We are working towards Phase II of the printing service, which will allow you to choose to make prints of your images available to others. This will be opt-in, and you will be able to control who has printing access on the gallery level.

The service is completely optional. Before anyone else can purchase your images, you will have to make those images available for purchase by others.

Yes! If you choose, you will be able to add your own markup to your products.

You can currently print your images with or without a frame. Framed images also include matting.

Our custom giclee prints are printed on Epson models 9600 and 9800



Giclee (pronounced “gee-clay”), is a sophisticated inkjet printing process that was introduced in the late 1980s. These prints are created from high-resolution digital images, using the finest quality ink and paper stock available, resulting in color saturation and image detail capture that exceeds other types of image reproduction Our printer, pictureframes.com, creates these giclee prints on a Epson 9600 or 9800 ink jet printer. Our printers also use Epson Ultrachrome inks, exclusively, because... (more)

Wood pulp mats are decorative matboards made of wood pulp buffered with calcium carbonate to slow the damage caused by the acid and lignin.

Rag mats are made of cotton fibers which are naturally acid-free and lignin-free. Cotton is time-tested and naturally free of any chemicals or pollutants that would degrade matboard or artwork.

PPI is a measurement used to determine the printing resolution of your images. PPI stands for “pixels per inch” or the pixel density. The number of megapixels that a digital camera has and the size at which an image was taken determine the PPI of an image.
This term is often confused with DPI, "dots per inch," which is used to determine the printing resolution of a printer.
