In order to add a new person to your faculty or staff page, you must first upload their profile and thumbnail images. Profile images should be portrait orientation, at 320x400 pixels, and thumbnail images should be 200x200 pixels. It’s often helpful to look at the other images on your directory page to make sure your cropping fits. Cropping and resizing can be done either in Photoshop or in a free browser-based tool like http://birme.net

If using Photoshop, please use these PSD templates to ensure the cropping fits the standard for the SPU website:

  • Faculty/staff profile

  • Faculty/staff thumbnail

Once you have resized and cropped the profile and thumbnail images, it’s time to upload them to the media library. After logging into Sitecore, click on the media library tab at the bottom of the page. Navigate to your department’s folder, and click the button that reads “Upload files (advanced).” This option allows you to add multiple photos at once. Click “Choose file,” and then select the appropriate images from your computer. After choosing both the profile photo and the thumbnail, click the blue “Upload” button. The images will now appear in the “Uploaded media items” box. Double-click on each one, and add the name of the faculty or staff member to the “Alt” field, clicking “Save and close” when you are finished. After adding the alt text, click “Close.”
