  1. For banners/events on the home page, make sure all images are the same size or larger than needed. They can always be sized down, but sizing up causes blurriness and pixelation. Most banners are about 3:1 ratio (width:height).

  2. Make sure all images for ‘event galleries’ are in the same orientation (usually landscape), otherwise the thumbnail grid will appear inconsistent.

  3. Structure folders in Image Explorer in a way that makes sense so images are easy to locate. For example, Images/Events/2016/July-4-Cookout is a logical structure.

    When editing an image in PicMonkey, choose ‘save a copy’ instead of ‘save’ in case you don’t like the changes and want to revert back to the original.
    PicMonkey does not recognize PNG transparency. You can use a different (free) online image editor when working with images with an Alpha channel: https://pixlr.com/editor/
    PicMonkey and Windows 10 do not recognize orientation data and will rotate images ‘correctly’ until they’re uploaded. If you run into this, use: https://pixlr.com/editor/ to open your image and go to Image > Rotate (X) > Save
