Online Auction Seller Tips
How do I save photos so they are web-ready?
Photos can be saved with any photo image editing software with the following specifications:
Image Size: 640×480 pixels or 6×4 inches
Resolution: 72
Image Type: .jpg
Photo file names should correspond to the lot number they belong to, i.e., Lot 1 in the sale order has 3 photos. They should be saved 1.jpg, 1a.jpg, 1b.jpg. In this case, 1.jpg is usually a profile shot, 1a.jpg, 1b.jpg etc. are shots of your choice, perhaps of progeny, full sibs, etc. Each lot can have up to 5 photos.
