For additional customization of your ImagePRO site, you can design and add your own header graphic. This part of the guide has two sections: how to design your header graphic, and how to upload to your ImagePRO site. Click on the links below to go directly to each section of the guide.

Designing your Header Graphic Image

1. Open up Photoshop. These instructions are for CS3, but can be applied to any version of Photoshop you are using. Select File > New. Enter in the dimensions of the new file you wish to create. Width: 950 (px), Height: 75 (px), Resolution: 72 (pixels/inch), Color Mode: RGB Color, 8 bit, Background Contents: White. Select "OK".

2. You can design the header graphic however you wish. If you want to add in a background element, choose File > Place > select image from your gallery. You could also select a montage of images for your header. Or select the paint bucket tool and add a background color. Add in text for your photography business or identification.

3. Check the final dimensions of the file. Image > Image Size and make sure the width is 950px and the height is 75px.

4. Make sure to choose File > Save for Web & Devices.
