How do I edit my photo?
There are two ways to edit photo information: individually or in bulk. Read on for instructions on how to edit photo info one at a time.
You can edit a photo's information from two spots. You can decide which is easier for you to navigate to. Either way, you must be logged in and you must own the photo you are trying to edit.
Method 1 - from your profile page.
Step 1: Navigate to your public profile (You->Profile).
Step 2: Find the photo you want to edit and click the pencil icon underneath the photo.
Step 3: A box will pop up where you can edit or add information including your photo's title, caption, category, location and any other info. Please make your description as accurate as possible. If any of your photos are published, it would be best to have good information! Once the information is all set, click save.
Method 2 - from the photo's page.
Step 1: First, navigate to the photo you'd like to edit, then click on the act button at the top of the photo. Clicking the act button will open up a box with a few options, including edit photo information.
Step 2: In the act dialog box, click edit photo information.
Step 3: A box will pop up where you can edit or add information including your photo's title, caption, category, location and any other info. Please make your description as accurate as possible.

If you want to edit photos more quickly, you can edit individual photos or photos in a batch, using the organizer tool. Check out how to use the photo organizer.
How do I edit multiple photos at once?
The photo organizer is the best way to edit photos quickly. To get to the organizer, click on "organize" in the "Photos" navigation menu. All of your photos will be loaded into the organizer.
The next step is to select which photos you'd like to edit. You can select photos one at a time by single-clicking on each photo you'd like to edit, or select a pre-defined group of photos using the filter buttons.
To select photos one at a time, hover over each photo and a red plus icon will appear. Click the plus icon once and it will be added to the batch edit drawer at the bottom of the page. You can add as many photos as you'd like to the batch edit drawer. The green check mark over each photo indicates the photo has been added to the batch edit drawer below.
To remove a photo from the drawer by clicking the red x on the top right of each photo, or click the large x button on the right side of the drawer to clear all photos from the batch edit drawer.
Once you've added all the photos you wish to edit to the batch edit drawer, click the the "edit" button at the bottom right of your browser.
Once you've clicked on the "edit" button, the edit pane will open up with the first photo selected for editing. The next step is to fill out or change the information for the selected photo. To save the information for the selected photo, click on ⟪ or ⟫ in the drawer to save and move to the next or previous photo, or click the the "close" button to save and close the edit pane.
You can apply the information you've filled out for the selected photos to all photos in the batch edit drawer by checking the box to the right of each field. Hover over the checkbox and you'll see clear instructions on which field you'll be applying to all selected photos. Once you've checked the boxes for the fields you want to apply to all selected photos, click the "close" button in the drawer and the information you've entered in the checked fields will be saved to all selected photos in the batch.
If this is all a bit overwhelming, we encourage you to play with it for a bit to get more comfortable with the organizer tool. Once you get the hang of it, you'll find editing photos is a breeze. If you're still struggling with the organizer tool, you can always edit photos individually.
How do I delete my photo?
Deleting a photo can be taken care of in one of two places -- from the photo's page, or from the photo organizer.
To delete a photo from the photo's page look at the top of the page for, and click, the act button. Inside you'll find a delete link. Click that and your photo will be deleted. To delete a photo from the photo organizer, simply hover your mouse over the photo you want to delete and click the red "x" button that appears at the top-right of the thumbnail. You will be asked if you are sure you want to delete the photo, and clicking "Ok" will delete the photo. Please note that if a photo is in the drawer for editing when clicking the "x" button it will be removed from the drawer, and you will need to click ag
It's as easy as that. You can delete your photo at any time up to the counter at the top right reaching zero. At that point your photo is eligible to wind up published!
Can I combine votes of duplicate photos before deleting?
Sorry, this isn't possible. There's a few reasons why we don't allow this, but biggest reason is that people could use this for cheating purposes. We're sure you understand. The best thing to do is delete the newer version as it likely has fewer votes, or replace the photo if it is exactly the same.
Can I rotate my photo after uploading it?
Unfortunately not. The best thing to do is to rotate the photo so it is orientated correctly with a photo editing application like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, then replace the incorrect version with the new/correct version. If the photo doesn't look rotated on your computer but shows up rotated here, it's probably because some photo viewing applications display photos as rotated in the view, but the actual photo file has not been rotated. You need to rotate the actual file with a photo editing application.
Why does my photo get cropped when it's in a thumbnail view?
The thumbnail sizes are generated automatically when a photo is uploaded. It can't be changed. It won't affect the vote, however, since voting only takes place when a photo is viewed full frame.
How do I replace a photo?
Because each photo has a unique ID and votes cannot be combined from two different photos, there are a few cases where replacing a photo is required. For example, if you uploaded a low-resolution version of your photo and want to replace it with a high-resolution version, the best course of action is replacing the low-res version with the high-res version. Or, if you accidentally uploaded a rotated version of your photo, or if you need to upload a non-watermarked version of your photo, replacement will fix things up in a hurry.
Replacing a photo does not change its score or remove any comments. Here's how to replace one of your photos.
Step 1: First, navigate to the photo you want to replace, then click the act button.
Step 2: In the act dialog box, click replace photo.
Step 3: The uploader will pop up. Click add files.
Step 4: Select the replacement (new) photo from your computer, then click upload.
Step 5: Once your replacement photo is selected, click upload.
After your photo is done uploading and processing, you will be redirected back to the photo page with your replacement photo.
