PhotoShelter Upload Workflow

The following describes the basic procedure for processing images from shoot to ingestion into the Purdue Engineering PhotoShelter at https://purdueengineering.photoshelter.com. Interested in becoming a contributor? Let us know!

  1. Copy images off the camera/card. If you have a backup, offline storage for your original images or RAW images, drop a copy of the images there immediately.
  2. Determine the academic area/organization, classification and proper name(s) of the image subjects for the group(s) of images to be uploaded. These details will be used during upload in step #6.
    1. OR draft an email providing the requisite details above about the images to be uploaded and email them to ecoweb@ecn.purdue.edu.
    2. OR rename the original image files with Adobe Bridge, Finder or other application according to the following standards for naming: AREA-classification-properName.format.

      EXAMPLES: AAE-02-alinaAlexeenko.jpg and COE-11-gatewayComplex.jpg.

      Multiple versions of the same image filename should be denoted with a dash and a number starting from 0.

      EXAMPLES: AAE-02-alinaAlexeenko-0.jpg and COE-11-gatewayComplex-1.jpg.
  3. Copy the pertinent images to a folder on your local machine for post-processing OR skip to step #5. Select only the BEST images for uploading. If multiple versions of a similar image are present, please select the single best version of the image at the best quality to be uploaded.
  4. Working off the COPY, do your post-production, if any (color correction, cropping, Photoshop work, etc.).
  5. Save the images at the highest resolution possible in .jpg format at 300 PPI.
  6. Upload images to the Purdue Engineering PhotoShelter at https://purdueengineering.photoshelter.com using the following instructions: https://support.photoshelterbrands.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000056594-Upload-with-the-Contributor-Web-Uploader. Be sure to include the academic area/organization, classification and proper name details in the “Title your upload” field.

    EXAMPLES: “AAE, faculty, Alina Alexeenko” and “CoE, facility, Gateway Complex.”
  7. Verify upload to the Purdue Engineering PhotoShelter.
