Tips for Uploading Graphics
CheckBox provides the option to upload a graphic for the
welcome page and a different graphic that prints out on the tickets. For best results these
graphics should not be too large, either in pixels or file size.
Pixels refers to the number of dots in a picture, these dots make up the picture itself. If a
picture is described as 200 x 400 pixels, the picture is 200 dots wide by 400 dots tall. If
the pixel count is too big then the picture may not fit on the page or it may push other
elements of the page off the screen. It is important to remember that not all screens are
the same size! It may look fine on your screen but may not fit on somebody else’s screen!
The standard minimum screen size for computers 640 x 480.
File size refers to the amount of data used to record the picture information. Too little data
and the picture looks course, blurry or grainy. Too much information and the picture takes
too much space on the hard drive and takes too long to download.
So what is the “right” size? For the welcome screen logo generally an image that is no
bigger than 640 pixels wide and 240 pixels tall works best. You can make them less wide
or less tall. As for file size, somewhere between 20Kb and 100Kb is about right.
For the logo on your ticket, an image that is 110
pixels tall by 200 pixels wide is ideal, with a file size
around 20 kb.
There are many tools you can use to resize your
graphic, including Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft
Picture It and a shareware tool called Irfanview (http://
www.irfanview.com). Whichever tool you use, make
sure to save your graphic in a .jpg format.
