Add Photos to Listings

 

There are two different ways to add photos to a listing, either click  Save and Maintain Pictures when saving the listing or through Listing Maintenance after the listing has been added.  Either way the functionality is the same.  For this example we will show adding a photo in Listing Maintenance.

 

Photo Compression

If a photo is over 32k, Paragon will compress the image (possibly decreasing quality, but not always) until the picture falls under this file size.

 

Image Size

Image size refers to the resolution of the photo. Paragon requires images that are 640 x 480 or less in resolution. So if your picture is under the 32k cap but has a resolution or image size bigger than 640 x 480, compression will occur. You can easily review your image size within the folders, by holding your cursor over the listing image or right clicking on the image and choose properties.

 

Acceptable Formats

Paragon will allow you upload images in a .jpeg or .gif format only.

 

To Add Photos to a Listing:

 

  1. From the Home Page Navigation Bar click Listings.

  2. Under the Maintain header click Listings. The Listing Maintenance screen will launch so you can search for the listing you want to add photos to.

 

 

 

 

  1. Type the information into the appropriate field you want to search by, and then click Search.

 

 

  1. Locate the listing (MLS#) you want to add photos to and click on the numeric value in the # Pics column. The Listing Photo Administration  box will display.

 

 

 

 

  1. Click Browse to locate the photo file on your computer you want to upload.  

  2. Double click the photo to upload it to the Paragon server. The image will then appear in the photo box on the screen.

  3. Continue to add additional photos by clicking the next Browse button and selecting the appropriate photo.

  4. If you want to delete a photo click the red X next to the photo.

 

 

To rearrange photo order:

 

  1. Click the Rearrange button to change the order of the photos.

  2. Click on the photo you want to move with the left mouse button.

  3. Hold the button down and move the picture  to the desired position.

 

 

 

If you drop a photo directly on another one they will switch positions. If you drop a photo on the grey bar ahead of a photo they will slide to the right.
