Upload a Personal Photograph or Other Image

You can upload a photograph of yourself or another personal image to display on the My Preferences dialog box. You can also select an image from the library of images that is supplied with Vantagepoint.

Supported image file types are .GIF, .JPG, .JPEG, .PNG, and .BMP.

To upload a personal photograph or other image:

  1. Click on the toolbar and select My Preferences.
  2. Click the Image tab of the My Preferences dialog box.
  3. Hover over the image box and click Update Image.
  4. On the Update Image dialog box, select one of the following actions:
    • To upload your own image file, click Upload, select the image file, and click Open.
    • To select an image supplied with Vantagepoint, click Library, select an image, and click Select.
    • To remove the current image, click Remove.
    If you assigned a new image, Vantagepoint automatically scales the image to fit in the frame.
  5. You can resize and crop the image, if needed. Any portion of the image outside the frame is cropped when you save the image. If necessary, do either or both of the following:
    • Drag the slider beneath the image frame to resize the image and increase or decrease the portion of the image that is within the frame.
    • Drag the image to change the portion of the image that is within the frame.
