WCM users can upload photos they have saved locally on their own PC or on the network. The photo upload process places a photo in the [WCM root]\img\photos\biz folder within the WCM file system. These photos are then available to be added to articles that have been created in WCM.

Meta-content :

• Section

  Choose the section in which your photo will appear.

• Title

  Enter the headline for the photo.

• Caption

  Enter a caption for the photo.

• Credits

  Enter the source of the photo. For example, if the story first appeared in the "Citizens on Fire" blog, you would enter that information.

  The credit is not always the same as the source. For example, if the story was first told on a news interview, then the credits go to the station that aired the story. However, the interview may subsequently been printed up in The Enquirer newspaper, then that publication is the source of the story.

Before attempting this procedure, save a digital version of the photos you want to use on your PC or on your local area network (LAN).

1. Click the Browse button. In the window that appears, locate the photo you wish to upload from your local or network folder, and click Open.

2. Click Save to save the photo.

3. To create a thumbnail, click Thumbnail square or Thumbnail horizontal. Drag the mouse to trace the outline of your thumbnail as desired.

   A thumbnail is a miniature version of a photo for display purposes. In WCM, thumbnails are used to display photos anywhere the user browses multiple photos and needs a handy visual clue as to the nature of a photo without opening it completely.

   Select Thumbnail: Square for photos that are originally square, and Thumbnail: Horizontal for photos that are wider than they are tall, such as landscape type photos.

4. To save the thumbnail, click the save icon. The message Ratio updated will be displayed.

5. (Optional) To crop the photo, select one of the following:

   • Ratio 02:03 for a vertical rectangular crop zone;

   • Ratio 03:02 for a horizontal rectangular crop zone

   • Ratio 05:02 for a narrow horizontal crop zone;

   • Ratio 01:01 for a perfectly square crop zone.

   Feel free to experiment with the various ratio buttons -- no changes are made until you click the Save icon.

6. Click the Save icon to save your cropped photo. The message Ratio updated will be displayed.

To save all your photo configuration settings, click the Save button at the top of the Photo window.
