Day-to-day album care: captions and comments, making the page look like yours, guest preview, and housekeeping (reorder, delete, add more photos).
Add descriptions and photo comments
ImageEvent provides two photo-description modes. In one mode, only the owner can edit descriptions. In the other mode, visitors can also contribute. Guests do not need an ImageEvent account to add comments. Visitor editing is best for collaborative albums, such as family archives. Owner-only mode is recommended for controlled publishing.
When enabled, guests may add per-photo comments (name, email, comment) from the photo page; you can remove entries anytime.
Sign the guestbook or email a comment
Give guests a place to leave a note on the album, or a private way to write to you. Guests do not need an ImageEvent account.
Turn it on
- Open the album and click Edit Album.
- Under Guests, set Album comments:
- Guestbook — notes appear on the album for everyone who can view it.
- Email to me — guests use Send a Comment. The message is emailed to you privately and is not posted; reply to the email to answer the guest. Fill in Album by first, which this option requires.
- Off — no guestbook or comment form.
- Click Save Changes.
In Global Settings, set Guestbook position to Above photos or Below photos. It applies to all your albums.
How guests sign
- Click Sign Guestbook, enter a name, email, and message, complete Verify you are human, then click Post Entry.
- The email address is never shown on the page. Each email address can sign an album once.
- After signing, a guest can choose to get an email when someone else signs.
- The album shows the newest entries. See more entries opens the full guestbook.
- While signed in, use the Edit and Delete icons on any entry. Guests never see them, and neither does View as Guest.
In Global Settings, Guestbook email alerts can be You & guests who opted in, You only, or Off. Your alerts go to your account email.
Private Links
Guests who open the album with a Private Link can read and sign the guestbook (or send a comment) too. Every link stays on the private address, and your username is not shown.
Personalizing colors, background, border color
Sign in, open the album, and tap Personalize on the Album Bar (some older screens say Personalize My Album). You can change:
- Color theme — Pick a ready-made look, or copy a theme from another album in your account.
- Font — Choose from 18 fonts to match the mood of your album.
- Header image — Optional picture across the top.
- Background — Optional backdrop behind your thumbnails.
- Element colors — Fine-tune borders, bars, and accents from a color grid.
Toolbar and viewer buttons pick up these colors so they match your theme instead of using generic picture-buttons.
Viewing statistics
The owner of the album can see all the statistics on the photos of the album. The statistics show the following:
- Number of hits for each image.
- Total number of hits combined of all your images
- Number of visits to your album.
View as Guest / View as Owner
Use View as Guest to preview albums and folders exactly the way a guest user will see them. This is helpful before sending links to clients or sharing publicly.
When you click View as Guest, you will see:
- Switched to Guest View
- You are now viewing your albums as a guest.
Rearranging albums
From your home page or an open folder, click the album’s list number. A small window opens where you pick the new position and confirm. The list reorders immediately after you save.
Deleting album
To remove an album.
- Log in with your username and password. You will be directed to your home page.
- Click Delete on the album you want to remove. You will be asked “Are you sure you want to delete this album?”
- Select Yes or Cancel. Selecting yes will delete the album.
Add more images and edit your album
Once your images are uploaded, you may continue to upload more images to your album. Go to your album, and click either "Easy Upload" or "Mega Upload" in the album bar.
You may also update options, description, and security (columns, default view size, privacy, and more) with Edit Album on the Album Bar.
