Ensuring Continuity

For AbleStable Members

We place clear requirements for image files from Members of AbleStable to maintain consistency of style and download speeds across our site. The additional effort to format images in the way we stipulate is well worth your time and effort and will significantly increase the quality of your on-line presence at AbleStable.

The size of 'large format' images at AbleStable are carefully considered to allow clients to view Member's work and make reasonable judgements about the quality and content of it, while discouraging the routine illegitimate downloading of images.

File Restrictions
You may send us up to 4 small image files, and up to 4 large image files. These will appear at the base of your Member Profile page.

Regulations
Your images MUST comply with the following rules or they will not appear in your Member Profile:

File Formats

Small Images (up to 4 images)
Please note: Small images are usually taken from a corresponding larger image.

1) A single small image file MUST be 60X60 pixels in size (this maintains consistency of site style)
2) A single small image file MUST NOT exceed 5kb (this helps ensure your profile page opens quickly)
3) Small image files MUST contain a 2 pixel black border (see attached
'egsample.gif'), this border MUST be in the foreground and not masked by the image in any way (this maintains consistency of site style)

Large Images (up to 4 images)
Please note: Large images must be accompanied by a corresponding small image as defined above.

1) A single large image file MUST NOT be larger than 700X400 pixels in size (this ensures images are viewed on smaller monitors)
2) A single large image file MUST NOT exceed 100kb (this helps ensure your image window opens quickly)
