Welcome to the Publications Unit Photo Library Help page.

The following help topics are available:

Viewing and Downloading Images

To view or download web-quality images held within the Photo Library:

1. When you first enter the Photo Library you should see a grid of 'thumbnail' images. You can change the size of the grid by clicking the 'Change Settings' button on the top toolbar and choosing the number of rows and columns for the grid.

   
   Besides changing the number of rows or columns in the grid you can also change whether images appear in order of their catalogue number or in order of their major classification.
    

2. To restrict the range of photos displayed to a certain category, click the 'Choose Category' button on the top toolbar and then select the desired category.
    
   
    
3. If the photos appear on more than one page use the page navigation links at the top of the screen to go to a different page. Use the arrow buttons to go to the previous or next page.
   
   
    
4. If you wish to see a larger web version of the thumbnail then click on the thumbnail image itself.
   
   
5. Once you are viewing the larger web version of the image then you are able to download it to your computer by clicking the 'Download Image' button.
    
   
    
    

Purchasing High Resolution Images

To purchase high resolution versions of images held within the Photo Library:

1. Click the 'Purchase' tick box to select an image to purchase at high resolution. Click the tick box again to deselect if necessary.
   
   
   (Alternatively, you can click the image to view a larger version and click the tick box on that page to select the image for purchase at high resolution.)
   
   As you select or deselect images for purchasing the value of your order appears at the top of the screen below the main heading.
    
2. To clear all of your purchases click the 'Clear Purchases' link at the top of the screen (just under the main heading).
    
3. After selecting all the images you require for purchase, you can click on the 'Place Order' button.
   
   
    
4. Fill in the required billing and contact details and then click the 'Send Order' button.
