Our Gallery serves the purpose of sharing files, by letting members download them and upload them.
In this topic we're giving some information about how this works, and if there's any feature you don't know how to use, or if you experience any difficulties using the Gallery, feel free to post a message in the Help Desk forum.
Here to follow are some tips on how to download, upload and upgrade files in the Gallery.

Downloading Images:

The Gallery is divided in categories and albums. Inside each album we have a large number of files.
When you browse the Gallery, you will see little thumbnails of the images stored within the albums and in each file. Clicking this image will load a page with a slightly large image. If you click this image again, the full sized image will load in a new browser window. Right click the image in the new window and choose "Save Picture As..." to store the full sized image on your hard drive.

Uploading images:

Please upload any new file in the "Incoming Files" album, which is displayed as the first album of each category.
A Gallery Administrator will then move them to the appropriate folders, editing their captions and descriptions, if necessary. You don't need to upload images with complete captions and descriptions, Gallery Adm will eventually take care of that, but of course, for those willing to upload complete files, here are some basic standards to help uploaders in filling in captions and descriptions:

1. The caption is described with the title of the bootleg and not with the city or date
    (example, Your Knocking Me Dead and not Detroit 74, unless the title is unavailable)
2. Only the first letter of each word in the title is to be Capitalised
3. The part of the artwork to which the picture refers to is to be in parentheses (cover), (tray) etc.
4. Avoid the "_" or "-" character between words.
5. Venue information and other info is to be put in the "Description" area.

Example
Caption:
Your Knocking Me Dead (tray)

Description:
Diamond Dogs Tour
Detroit, June 22, 1974

This way, this title will show up when people search for a city, a tour and a year.

6. Also, please name different parts of the same sleeve as such :

(cover)
(cover inside)
(tray)
(tray inside)
(disc n)
(inside n)
(n being a number, if necessary of course)

and not (front) (back) (book) etc

7. Please be as much exhaustive as possible in the descriptions, especially regarding dates. For instance, if a CD features a whole show and one or two songs from a different show, the description should bare both dates.
8. When uploading pictures of an artist, please fill in the caption, that is, write who the artist is, and possibly the year or the period it refers to. As you may imagine, unlike for cd or dvd artwork, it's not easy to find information about pictures, so, to prevent having a bunch of pictures with no description, your help here is necessary.
9. Don't worry about the keywords, we will fill in that section.

Artwork Upgrades

We realize that not all of our artwork sets are complete or of a good resolution. If you happen to have a better  version then the one currently offered, please share it and upload it.
But...we have noticed that occasionally, upgrades aren't always genuine. That is to say, what may seem an upgrade often is an image with a bigger size (in bytes) but not in resolution, or it may have more pixels but still overall quality is worse than the original. This sometimes occurs because an image or scan may be tweaked to suit somebody's individual taste.
So, since upgrades are often subjective in nature, and different people view upgrades in different ways, to avoid confusion and to avoid having to sort through (and analyse) too many versions of the same artwork, we decided to follow some simple guide lines:

For an image to be considered an "upgrade", it should be either the original artwork, or be a direct scan (unaltered in any way) from the original packaging, be complete (contain the cover, tray, booklet, etc) and be of a higher resolution than the existing set. We prefer a quality of 300 DPI (~1500 x 1500 for a CD cover) or higher, however not lower than 280 DPI.
A complete set of covers will not only refine the gallery, but will prevent or reduce the inflation of upgrades that derive from low resolution imagery.

Of course, if any image helps to complete a currently incomplete set, then it may be considered an upgrade, and it'll be added to the current one.

If you have any question about the quality of a proposed upgrade, upload it to the Gallery and a Gallery Administrator will decide on it's validity.

Thank you all for the help, and enjoy!
