How to create a Photo Gallery and allow participants to upload photos

1. Login to your dashboard as an Event Organizer.

2. Navigate to the left of your screen to the search box and search and select Photos. 

You will then be directed to photos.raceroster.com

3. Click Add Photo Gallery to begin the process. 

4. In Gallery settings, you will want to title your gallery. Here you will be able to: 

• Add this photo gallery to an existing event: checking this field off will allow you to associate this gallery with an event that you're connected to. You will be presented three additional fields asking if you would like to include the photos on the results pages, registration page, and allow participants to upload photos. 
• Gallery and all photos are visible to the public: in order to make these photos public, this field must be checked off.
• Allow search engine indexing on gallery: will allow your photos to be searched on Google. 

Once you're satisfied with your settings, click Save or Save & Continue. 

5. In Bib definitions, you will have the option to tag your bibs. By selecting "Tag photos with participant bibs" our system will use the bib information from your results or participant list, to match bibs found in the photos to a participant. We use an automated photo analysis to find bibs in the photos. Once a bib is found, our system will automatically tag the photo with that bib number so participants can quickly view their photos.

Once you're satisfied with your settings, click Save or Save & Continue. 

6. In Watermarking, you will have the option to upload a logo to your photos. With the many tools such as position and logo size you can decide where on the photo you want your logo to live. 

Once you're satisfied with your settings, click Save or Save & Continue. 

7. To Upload Photos, name your gallery, click create, and drag and drop your photos or zip file to the uploader. You can also click the uploader and select photos or zip files from your device. 

To allow participants to upload photos check off the allow participant to upload photos field.

Once you're satisfied with your settings, click Save or Save & Continue. 

8. The last step in creating a gallery is the option to invite collaborators to your gallery. Collaborators are people who are able to make changes to the gallery. 

Once you're done, click Create gallery, and your gallery will be created and associated with your event page and/or results page.
