Account:High-Resolution Images

From Content

Dear MesArt Artist,

We are excited to announce a new MesArt feature which allows artists to upload high resolution images, and visitors to view them in artwork's Enlarge page.

We now accept high-resolution artwork images of up to 1 MB size and up to 2000 pixel width. The images that are wider than 600 pixels are automatically watermarked with your name and copyright statement in large views (e.g. on the Enlarge page).

Here are examples of high-resolution images (click on Enlarge link):

Note: Unfortunately, we can't automatically convert lower resolution images already in your account into a higher resolution; you'll have to upload the images with bigger widths. For the images that are wider than a certain threshold, currently 600px (width), the system recognizes they need additional protection and watermarks them in order to protect author's rights.

Here are detailed steps on how to prepare artwork images for the Web:

If you don't want any changes in your account right now, you don't have to do anything. If you would like to take advantage of this new feature, re-upload your images with increased image sizes.

We hope that you will enjoy this new cool feature,
MesArt staff
