The Imagillaboration Member Gallery offers participants the opportunity to showcase the work they are doing on sculptures for the project, as well as their own individual work.
To access these gallery functions you must be a registered participant of the project.
Once you have registered to participate you must also register within the gallery itself. This is an automated process, and is separate from registration for the project.
After registering I have to manually activate your gallery account. This is the only way I can be sure that unauthorized users don't take over the gallery function.
Once we begin work on the collaborative pieces there will be a sub-gallery for each piece within each group of artists. The pieces will be designated by the group member number of the person who created the first element. All members of a group will have the ability to upload pictures of work in progress for each piece as it circulates through the group.
Members may also upload pictures of their own work in the "Members Sculpture Showcase" album. You may create a new sub album for yourself by clicking the add album link. Name the album with "your name", and fill out the various fields describing your album. Once your album is created, click the add items button to upload your photos. There are several methods of uploading images. The default method is browsing for files from the upload page, and following the instructions. The other methods are also pretty self explanatory, just follow the directions on the screen. If you have trouble I will be happy to help you.
The gallery software will resize your images as you upload them, and create thumbnails at upload time as well. Please don't alter any of the default size settings while uploading your images. We need to keep the images a reasonable size so the server doesn't fill up with excessively huge images, or become bogged down by having to load enormous files every time someone browses your gallery.
If you have trouble with the gallery function you can post your questions and I will help you. Alternatively, you can browse the support forums at
