Putting art photos on AtelierKadunc

Every photo needs: (a heads-up to the poster of 'Mountains High', and everyone else, of course.)
  • a title with the name of the artist (e.g. Brilliant Artwork by Les Aldridge)
  • to be cropped so only the artwork and not the frame or background shows. Sometime, if requested, I can do a demo of how I use Gimp to edit artwork photos before putting them up.
  • labels so people can search the site by artist (to the right of the 'Labels:' box is a blue selection that says something like 'show all labels'. Click that and select 'ALL' and the name of the artist. If your work is in progress, choose 'in_progress' from the label list. Incidentally, the labels can be easily deleted at any time (like if you make a mistake). Just delete the label like text. The labels are just comma-separated names in a list. If you are adding a new name and spell it wrong, please delete the error before adding the correct one. Otherwise, there will be extra labels laying around.
  • a caption line specifying the substrate, the medium and the size of the work (e.g. '8x10 oil on canvas').
