Upload a Personal Photograph or Other Image

If the administrator did not lock images in Screen Designer, 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. On the My Preferences dialog box, click the Image tab.
  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, browse to and 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 assign a new image, Vantagepoint automatically scales the image to fit in the frame.
  5. If necessary, resize and crop the image.
    Any portion of the image outside the frame is cropped when you save the image:
    • To resize the image and increase or decrease the portion of the image that is within the frame, drag the slider beneath the image frame.
    • To change the portion of the image that is within the frame, drag the image.
  6. Click Save.
