Hello:

I´m new here, and I uploaded some illustrations in JPG form, thinking I could add the vector file later on.

I hope I didn't do this wrong -- does anyone know how I can add the EPS file to a particular JPG in my gallery?

Thank you.

As far as I know (but I haven't been here that long) you need to upload the JPG and EPS at the same time, so the system can combine them. I don't think you can add an EPS later.

Yes, you should upload both .eps and .jpg (a 500x400 one for preview) with the same name, at the same time. The jpeg you uploaded earlier will sell as a photo, not as a vector.

many of us upload both a JPG and vector version of each image. Unlike other sites where you can attach the vector to an uploaded image, here they must be submitted as two separate submissions.

For the JPG illustration you just upload a full size JPG as you have already done. For the vector submission you need to upload the EPS file saved in AI8 format plus a small jpg thumbnail 500px on its longest side. You upload both with the same file names except for the extension, for example

C:\pictures\IMAGE1.jpg
C:\pictures\IMAGE1.EPS

The system will link them together and they appear as a single image with the word Vector below them on the keywording page.

thank you all for the fast response.
So if i want the image to be offer as jpg and vector i have to upload the jpg at full size (as i allready did) and then upload the EPS with it´s jpg preview.
So i didn´t do wrong?
If i now upload the EPS file with it´s respective jpg preview, will it show as the vector option for the same image i have allready uploaded? And the naming should be tha same for the EPS and the JPG preview, but what about the full sixe JPG version? if i name the same, then it will be 2 JPG with the same name, and if i name different then i don´t know how they will be raleted.

Please givme an example on how to upload from zero a given illustration wich you would like to sell as images and as vector.
And also tell me what you would do in my situation having allready upload a full size JPG, just upload the EPS and preview (named equel between them) but with another name from the full size JPG? or maybe delete the allready aproved image and re upload the full size JPG, the EPS, and the preview?

I´m still lost as yous can see.
Thank you all again
Thank you all

don't delete the already accepted jpeg. just upload the .eps and .jpg files at the same time, giving the same name that you gave to the full sized jpeg you uploaded earlier. you can also add it the vector's title: "jpeg version in my portfolio" or something like that.

Yes, Adigrosu is correct. The jpg that you already submitted is fine, leave it up there. Now just submit the eps with it's small preview, and you will have both available to the buyers. On the vector version it will say "Vector" when someone views it.

Is this for vector upload, if so it saves the pain of creating a small JPG and placinm it in the EPS file folder. I must try this.

Now I'm getting confused - if you do this, does the image appear twice in your portfolio, once for .jpg download and once for vector (as it would if you submitted a small .jpg version with the vector and the large .jpg separately)?

I also upload a full sized jpg together with the eps and then I upload the same full sized jpg again for the bitmap version of my image. This way I don't have to create two jpg versions of the same image. I do have to upload the jpgs in separate batches though.

Yes same procedure saves a lot of time in the workflow.full size jpg and eps for the vector version and one full size jpg for the jpg version.

Ahh - now I understand! And Yes, it does sound like a good idea...
