Naming your Photos
Name your photo so it matches up with the lot number it represents. If you have three images for Lot 1, name them like this:
1_1.jpg
1_2.jpg
1_3.jpg
Please remember to always include the “_” as well as the “.jpg”
Similarly, if you have an A lot in your sale (i.e., lot 53A), name the images like this:
53A_1.jpg
53A_2.jpg
53A_3.jpg
Please note, we also accept the following file naming conventions:
1-1.jpg, 1-2.jpg, ... 1-20.jpg
1a.1.jpg, 1a.2.jpg ... 1a.20.jpg
Don’t want to rename your photos?
If you prefer not to rename your photos, you can provide them in the text file under the ImageFile columns within your catalog spreadsheet. Using the columns named 'Image File.1' (ImageFile.1 to ImageFile.20)
Image file columns are only required if the photographs are not named according to lot numbers. You can have up to 20 image file columns.
If using these columns:
- You must list the full image file name including the .jpg extension.
- The image itself must also be a .jpg, .jpeg, .png. .tiff, .pdf (only the first page), .webp, or .heif/.heic.
- The file names are case sensitive.
Example: If your image is “warhol19front” for lot number 24, then the ImageFile.1 for lot 24 would read “warhol19front.jpg”.
Additionally, if your images are hosted on a website, you may enter the URL location of your images in the Image File Columns for our image processor to retrieve.
