Fotolia User Guide
A detailed tour of Europe's #1 stock photo agency.
We've made these pages easier to use, so that you can get on with your work!
Photo Detail
The photo detail page has been improved to help customers to find the right licenses and similar content.
You can still zoom in on images to see details (simply click on the image to activate) and download comp files (link under the Licenses Chart).
The License Chart has been streamlined - You can now switch from image size in pixels (digital works) to image size in centimeters (printed works) in one click in the chart header.
Also, you can now launch a new complex search query directly from the photo detail page:
- Just select one or more keywords in the information chart (Keywords become green).
- Then, click on the Launch query button (displayed under the keywords)
Note: To add a content to your Lightbox, just click on the star icon above the License Chart.
Shopping Cart
Images are now displayed in boxes with all the related information and license options. You can remove your files from your shopping cart by clicking on the red "x" (top right corner).
The floating summary - a new feature! Your cart summary is now displayed on the right and follows your scrolling. All the information about your upcoming purchases in a glance. Also, you can now login, purchase credits and validate your purchase directly from this summary.
Main options:
- Unselect/Remove all: Allows you to unselect all licenses or to remove all the contents from your shopping cart.
