Photo Operations

A number of buttons appear beneath your uploaded photos.

Crop	Calls our photo editor to allow you to trim ("crop") the photo. Handy for making a head shot from an existing photo, or just trimming out extraneous material.
Duplicate	Make a copy of the photo, perhaps because you want to make a cropped version and keep the original.
Rotate ⏷	Rotate photo. A popup submenu offers options: 90° counter-clockwise, 90° clockwise, 180° clockwise.
Move ⏷	Move the photo to another Gallery. (A popup submenu allows you to select the gallery.)

Thumbnail Operations

One of these buttons will appear below the smaller (thumbnail) version of your photo

☆ Set as Primary Photo	Makes the selected photo your Primary Photo (your Profile Photo).
Adjust as Primary Photo	Takes you to our photo cropping tool so you can trim the photo as necessary to make it into a head-shot (suitable as a Primary Photo).
☆ Request as Primary Photo	Requests that the selected photo be made your Primary (aka Profile) Photo. (Appears for older uploads only, before we began pre-approving Primary Photos.)

Your Primary (aka Profile) Photo is attached to your Profile and correspondence; it appears when members search, view their Mailbox, receive notifications, etc. Your remaining photos, if any, are visible only when members specifically view your photo gallery.

Private/Credentials Gallery Passes

Private Gallery photos and Credential Gallery document images are visible only to members to whom you send a Photo Pass or Credentials Pass, respectively.

To send a Pass, send a message and click near the Photo Pass or Credentials Pass checkbox near the top of the message. A Credentials Pass may only be sent via an e-mail (not greeting).
