Uploading (and Managing) Photos
Importing photos to Entourage using Upload Photos
Table of Contents
There are multiple ways that you, your staff, and your community can upload photos to your project. It is important to check the file type you are uploading, to make sure it is supported by our software. The following image file types are supported by Entourage Yearbooks: .jpg, .jpeg, .png and .heic. (Please note that attempting to upload content that is not supported will result in corrupted files.) Follow these steps to successfully upload and manage your photos:
Choose Manage photos from the MANAGE tab drop down on your home page.
You may also select the Upload Photos option from the UPLOAD tab drop down.

Or
Next, click on the green “Upload new photos” button

Then, from the photo uploader window, create a category by clicking the All Photo button and then click on “Create New Photo Category”
To start uploading your photos, you can drag and drop them into the photo upload window, or you can click the orange My Device to browse your computer for photos
You will then see the photos in a window and you will be able to click Upload in green. While your photos are uploading, you will see in the photo uploading window a list of the photos that are completed uploading, and the photos left to upload. If you have more than 100 photos to upload, please give this process a few minutes. If you have a poor internet connection, this process will take a bit longer.
Please note: The type of photo files we accept are .jpg, .jpeg, .png and .heic. PDFs need to be uploaded in Manage Uploads.
Once the uploader confirms that all your images were uploaded you have to click “Done”, the photo category will load to display all the images that you just uploaded.
