Thats how you can edit photographs and add them to your listing.
Here are some tips you should keep in mind to take clear photographs
Hold Your Camera Steady
Camera movement is the most common reason for blurry photographs. While taking your photographs make sure to stand firmly and hold your camera steadily so that you donโt shake the camera while pressing the โClickโ button. If required lean against a wall.
You may also consider using a tripod to make sure the camera is steady.
Use the Right Lighting
Natural but diffused light is great for taking photographs. Avoid direct sunlight on your photographs.
If you are taking pictures with sunlight or artificial lighting, place a piece of sheer fabric, butter paper or a plastic shower curtain liner between the light and the product. This helps to diffuse the light.
While taking photographs also ensure to place the product to the right of the light. Do not allow the light to directly fall on the image as if the light directly falls on the product chances are it will bounce back on the camera and the product image will not be clear.
Use a Background
When I look at photos on eBay, I often see people using white bed sheets as backgrounds โ probably because everyone has at least one set of bed linens around the house. It is best to place a white chart paper that is available in most stationary shops behind your item.
Do not place the item too close to the White background as it causes a shadow of the item in the photograph.
Chart papers are also available in a variety of colors. You can try different colour backgrounds for different items.
For light colour products and Jewellery a dark colour background causes a contrast and enhances the visual appeal of the product.
While taking pictures of reflective objects use an indirect source of light such as a window covered with a sheer paper or a sheer cloth so that it diffuses the natural light. Do not use the flash on your camera. You can use a small bulb or light covered with a sheer paper if you do not have natural light available.
Picture Size
Since most people are on a dial up connection it is best to have small photographs that will load easily. An ideal picture size would be
550 x 550 pixels and it should be between 50 & 75 KB. It is a better idea to take several small photos that show several sides of an item than one large shot.
Adding up to 3 photographs is absolutely FREE. If you are subscribed to Picture Manager you can add up to 12 pictures absolutely FREE.
To check the size of the photograph
Place your cursor on your picture then right click on your computer mouse and go to properties. You will see the size or pixels depending on the program and version you use.
