Slideshows

What is a Slideshow?

A Slideshow is a new and innovative kind of photo album. The great thing about imageloop Slideshows is that they can be integrated into your personal website, webspace or blog. See also: How to publish a Slideshow.

How can I create a Slideshow?

We have made this process as simple as possible. Just select "Create Slideshow" from the menu at the top of the page. By clicking on "Add Photos" you can use multiple sources to upload your photos. Once you have started to upload your photos you can give your Slideshow an individual look. Add a title and a brief description to your photos so that they appear on your Slideshow too. You can also use the option "Edit Slideshow" to choose the style of your Slideshow, the colour of the text and many other features. Once you have designed and saved your Slideshow, you can display it on whe web or send it to your friends. The choice is yours! See also: How to publish a Slideshow.

How can I display my Slideshow on other sites (EMBED-Code)?

There are sveral ways of display your imageloop Slideshow on your website or webspace. If you have an account on MySpace, Blogger.com or Blogger.de you can integrate your Slideshows on these sites automatically. To do so, just click on "publish Slideshow" on any Slideshow page and you'll be guided through this easy process step by step. You can also send the Slideshow to your friends or use the EMBED-code to integrate it into your own webspace. The EMBED-Code is a code snippet, which you just have to copy and then paste into the HTML-Body area of your website. The only requirement is that the SlideShow is 'public'. If it is set to 'private' this process will not work.

How can I edit a Slideshow?

If you want to edit any information concerning your Slideshow just enter the Slideshow page. Here you can change the title, the description and the tags of your Slideshow. You can also enter an external URL and adjust who is able to view your Slideshow. See also: Who is allowed to see my Slideshow?.

Who is able to view my Slideshow?

With imageloop you can construct your own Slideshow and make your own decision as to who can watch it. During the creation of the Slideshow you can specify the level of access to your Slideshow. There are three possibilities: Public Slideshow (anyone can view it), Private Slideshow (only your friends can view it) and Private Slidehow (only you can view it). If you want to change these settings afterwards, just enter the Slideshow page and click on the editing symbol to the right of your Slideshow and select the desired access level.

How many Slideshows can I create?

You can create as many Slideshows as you like. There are no limits whatsoever. You can also publish your Slideshows as often as you like on other websites and webspaces.

Photos


How can I upload photos on imageloop?

3. MySpace-photos: If you have an account on MySpace and you have stored photos there, just enter your MySpace username and click on "add photos". The photos will be automatically uploaded from your profile and integrated into imageloop. Tip: You can enter any MySpace Username (ie. not just your own)

What quality do my photos have to be?

Generally, the quality of your photos does not matter. However, if you want to have the best results you should save your photos in the highest possible resolution. The resolution specifies how many pixels your photo consists of.


What kind of photos can I upload?

At present it is only possible to upload photos in the "JPG" file format.


How many photos can I upload?

At the moment you can load up as many photos as you like. There are no limitations on storage capacity.


How can I invite friends to view my photos?

On every Slideshow page you have the option to send that Slideshow to an Email address or an imageloop Username. The recipient will receive an Email no matter if he is a registered imageloop user or not. Via this email he will gain access to all photos in that SlideShow.


Who can see my photos?

Anyone to whom you give access can view your photos. As described here "Who is allowed to see my SlideShow?" there are three settings which allow you to specify the level of access to your SlideShows and the photos they contain.
