How to Submit Photos for Patricia Louise Smith
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 Patricia Louise Smith. You can submit photos for her plot's monument(s) or personal photos of just her.
• On your computer, locate the file(s) of the photo(s) you want to submit for Patricia Louise Smith.
• 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: ALDRVL@1031;
(MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the monument files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code ALDRVL@1031;
is SPECIFIC to ALL people on this stone or plot.
• For PERSONAL Pictures for JUST this person, do the following:
• Copy this code: ALDRVL@1031^1;
(MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the personal files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code ALDRVL@1031^1;
is SPECIFIC to
Patricia Louise Smith and your picture(s) prefixed with this code will appear ONLY for her.
• 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 her with filenames img_2694.jpg
and Smith family.jpg
• The specific prefix code for this person's plot is ALDRVL@1031;
• Your modified filenames will be ALDRVL@1031;img_2694.jpg
and ALDRVL@1031;Smith family.jpg
• The text following the semicolon can be anything you want (including spaces), for example:
•ALDRVL@1031; 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):
ALDRVL@1031; Your caption here~ img_2694.jpg
and
ALDRVL@1031; Another caption~ Smith family.jpg
• ALL images for Patricia Louise Smith 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 Patricia Louise Headshot.jpg
• The specific prefix code for her is ALDRVL@1031^1;
• Your modified filenames will be ALDRVL@1031^1;40thBirthday.jpg
and ALDRVL@1031^1;Patricia Louise 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):
ALDRVL@1031; Your caption here~ 40thBirthday.jpg
and
ALDRVL@1031; Another caption~ Patricia Louise Headshot.jpg
• ALL personal photos of Patricia Louise Smith 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.
