Welcome to the step by step guide to the 420 Magazine Photo Gallery.
We use a photo gallery on this forum to keep photos organized and easy to access. The process is easy once you get the hang of it. First you upload the photo to the appropriate sub-gallery, then you can view it directly or link to it a thread, as will be explained below.
Our photo gallery is only for Cannabis, Hemp and directly related images.
Photos of anyone looking even remotely like a minor, will be deleted without warning.
Non-420 photos may only be uploaded to our "Off-Topic" photo gallery. Please note these photos must be appropriate and otherwise conform to our off topic photo tutorial and guideline.
RESIZING PHOTOS
To start off, you need to make sure your pictures are the correct format.
Our gallery accepts jpg, jpeg, gif, png file formats.
Photo size must not exceed 10MB.
If your photos are larger than 10MB:
Adobe Photoshop, Aperture and Microsoft Office Picture Manager can resize your photos.
If you don't have any of these programs, here are some links to free online photo resizing tools:

UPLOADING PHOTOS
Click on the
Gallery button from the drop down menu that can be found at the top of any 420 Magazine page.
When the gallery main page opens, click on the 'Upload Photos' button.
When the 'Photo Upload' window opens you'll have four things to do.
First, choose the category you want your picture in.
Second, click on the button that says, "Select Files for Upload" to gain access to your computers image gallery where you'll select your picture for uploading.
Third, click the 'Upload/Submit' button to begin upload process.
Forth, once you get to the photo processing page, click the "Process" button.
It's important that you complete this final step. Your photo(s) will not upload correctly unless you do.
TIP: Insert your pics in the proper categories. Buds into 'Buds' category, Plants in 'Plants', etc. All of those images will then appear in your own 'Members Gallery' automatically as well as being available in their proper categories where most gallery gazers tend to look.
