How to Submit Photos for Robert Kenneth Abbott
Until such time as a photo "Drag and Drop" function has been added to Cemsearch, here is the way to prepare your photos for inclusion in our database:
• IMPORTANT: FIRST select the person in Cemsearch for whom you want to add a photo, then re-open this help screen.
• You currently have selected Robert Kenneth Abbott. You can submit photos for his plot's monument(s) or personal photos of just him.
• On your computer, locate the file(s) of the photo(s) you want to submit for Robert Kenneth Abbott.
• DO NOT make duplicate photos of the same side of a stone for each person shown on it. For example, if husband and wife are both shown on one stone image, DO NOT make two copies of this image; only one is required.
• For MONUMENT Pictures, do the following:
• Copy this code: 6-BDHDABB; (MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the monument files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code 6-BDHDABB; is SPECIFIC to ALL people on this stone or plot.
• For PERSONAL Pictures for JUST this person, do the following:
• Copy this code: 6-BDHDABB^1; (MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the personal files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code 6-BDHDABB^1; is SPECIFIC to
Robert Kenneth Abbott and your picture(s) prefixed with this code will appear ONLY for him.
• HINT: for convenience, these codes also appear below the Born/Died dates where you can click on them to automatically copy them.
• ATTACH photos (full size; if you can, limit to about 1-2 megabytes in size) with the prefixed filename to an email and send to:
helpus@cemsearch.ca.
• If you have further details that you would like included in the "Notes" section, add them to the email as well.
Captions:
• A caption can be embedded in the filename following the semi-colon, terminated with a tilde (~). See example below.
Monument Example:
• Suppose you have two photos of him with filenames img_2694.jpg
and Abbott family.jpg
• The specific prefix code for this person's plot is 6-BDHDABB;
• Your modified filenames will be 6-BDHDABB;img_2694.jpg
and 6-BDHDABB;Abbott family.jpg
• The text following the semicolon can be anything you want (including spaces), for example:
•6-BDHDABB; north side of tombstone eroded by nature.
• Add a caption as follows (surrounding spaces optional; tilde (~) marks the end of the caption; otherwise we will use the complete filename):
6-BDHDABB; Your caption here~ img_2694.jpg and
6-BDHDABB; Another caption~ Abbott family.jpg
• ALL images for Robert Kenneth Abbott and others on the same stone or plot MUST have the same exact prefix up to and including the semi-colon.
Personal Pictures Example:
• Suppose you have two images for this person's monument with filenames 40thBirthday.jpg
and Robert Kenneth Headshot.jpg
• The specific prefix code for him is 6-BDHDABB^1;
• Your modified filenames will be 6-BDHDABB^1;40thBirthday.jpg
and 6-BDHDABB^1;Robert Kenneth Headshot.jpg
• The text following the semicolon can be anything you want (including spaces)
• Add a caption as follows (surrounding spaces optional; tilde (~) marks the end of the caption; otherwise we will use the complete filename):
6-BDHDABB; Your caption here~ 40thBirthday.jpg and
6-BDHDABB; Another caption~ Robert Kenneth Headshot.jpg
• ALL personal photos of Robert Kenneth Abbott MUST have the same exact prefix up to and including the semi-colon.
• These personal images will NOT appear for others on the same stone or plot.
