The Photo Capsule

The Photo Capsule allows you to upload photos or images to your Hub, either from your computer or from a Web address.

To start...

1. Click the edit button.
2. Give the capsule an optional subtitle, if you like.
3. There are three options in the Photo Capsule: Upload, Import, and My Photos.
4. To upload a picture from your computer, click "Upload" and choose up to 20 images to upload (GIF, JPG, or PNG).
5. To select more than one photo, hold down the Ctrl key (or the Apple key on a Mac) on your keyboard while clicking on the files with your mouse.
6. Once you've selected all the images you'd like to upload, click the "Open" button.
7. Depending on your photos' size, it might take a few minutes to upload them all. For each image, you can choose to add a caption that will display beneath the picture.
8. If you want to load images from a Web address instead, choose "Import" button and enter the Web addresses - or URLs - for the images.
9. Please make sure you only load images you have the right to publish.
10. HubPages stores all of your photos for you. If you would like to use a photograph that you have already uploaded, choose the "My Photos" tab and choose the image(s) you'd like to display.
11. When you have uploaded all the images you want for this capsule, choose how you want them displayed in your Hub. The default view shows all the images without a border, but if you would like a border, click on the drop down box and click "with border" to display with a border; you can also have your photographs displayed as a thumbnail from this dropdown box. This is a good idea if you have a lot of photos to display.
12. To reorder your photos, simply drag and drop them while in edit mode of the Photo Capsule.
13. Finally, click the "Save" button to save your images.

If there are more than two photos (200 pixels or wider and 150 pixels or taller) in a Hub, they will be viewable in slideshow view. Slideshows on HubPages make it easy for readers to review all the photos in a Hub in a simple overlay.

• Only use original photos or photos that you have the rights to display.
• Create multiple Photo Capsules that correspond with the text. A high-quality, useful photo can be more influential than text!
• Never use watermarked or pixelated photos.
• Try to upload the largest, highest-resolution photo possible. This will look best in slideshows on your Hub- even if you plan on presenting the photo in a smaller format within the text of your actual Hub.
• Give your photo a description. If someone is searching for a photograph, then might find your Hub.
• Creativecommons.org is a great resource for photographs that are free to use.
