Photoshop basics: video learning
Publishing images in Journalen has only two (2) rules;
- Formatted as JPG with a width of 1500 pixels
- ALL the Drupal detail fields are filled in and the image has a real, searchable name
Photoshop is the industry standard program, but you can use a variety of other software packages to get the same results if you do not have access to it. All of our videos below in addition to Photoshop, cover the most common available programs for Windows, Mac and Linux, many of them already built in to their systems.

ALL images published in Journalen are permitted a maximum pixel size of 1500 (along the longest edge).
Images larger than this are deleted from the system within 2 days. Get it right the first time with these methods for sizing your images.

Light and colour adjustment
Gray and washed out looking images, blue or orange tones that are way too strong? The Levels tool will fix almost all of the most common problems and it works in multiple software types, not just Photoshop.
Redeye
Red eyes are not acceptable for any Journalen image. Remove those devil eyes with a variety of easy to use tools.
