Is there anything you should know as a newbie to this site? ... Yes :)

If you have not done already, please take our tour http://fineartamerica.com/tourfineartamerica/introduction.html ( http://pixels.com/tourfineartamerica/introduction.html for Pixels users) as that will answer most questions you may have about the site
Then read our Terms of Use http://fineartamerica.com/termsofuse.html ( http://pixels.com/termsofuse.html for Pixels users)to make sure you understand what we require of you and what you may require of us ;)

You will need PayPal to receive payments and the images will need to be of printable quality before you upload

They need to be under 25mb and jpg or png. Adobe RGB or sRGB Images should be over 800 pixels but there is no maximum size. If the images are over 25mb then you can shrink the image down slightly or compress down to 10. Never upload enlarged images (that is making the pixels more than you have normally) as we will probably not pass it in QC if you sell.

All members should read this thread http://fineartamerica.com/showmessages.php?messageid=432109 ( http://pixels.com/showmessages.php?messageid=432109 for Pixels users)

Please note that we do not do ANY quality control unless you get an order, so you must make sure the images are top quality before uploading. You do this by 'VIEW'ing the work in your editor at 100% and going over it completely looking for blurriness or blockiness.

If you wish to test the quality of the prints you may buy your own work at base cost

When logged in you are seeing the prices you would pay if you wanted to buy your own work so do not panic if they are lower than you have put in :)

Basically, all you really need to do is decide what YOU want to earn and then put that in the spaces provided

When registered and logged in, on the top right menu there is a drop down with everything you need for the site

BEHIND THE SCENES is for all the tools you need to set the site up and PROFILE is where your site is.

Here are some great posts on the forum about marketing your work

I think that just about covers what most new people ask. Hope this helps. If you read this and have any specific queries please let us know by opening a new thread with the subject clearly marked as the question :) Alternatively you can find SUPPORT under the ABOUT tab in the top menu. Customer Support is for when you purchase prints and need help. Technical Support is for artist members and account and usage help
