Images may be uploaded from the create new/edit listing page or Apps → Images.

You'll find thumbnail images, folders, filters, upload date, image size, and dimensions all located in Images.

Towards the top right of the screen, there are pagination buttons, the option to import from URLs or Dropbox, or upload.

To the far right of each image, there are buttons available to edit the image or delete.  Also, clicking on the thumbnail of an image will provide an enlarged view.

Selecting the checkbox for one or more images provides some additional bulk options.

The bulk options include the following

After uploading the images to inkFrog, select the edit button to the far right of an image to edit it. You'll find most if not all of the image editing tools that an online seller will ever need.


Crop: Use this tool to crop out unneeded extra space around the outside of your image.

Transform: Use this tool to rotate your images if necessary.

Draw and Text: Use these tools to add annotations to your images if they are needed..

Filter: If your image is "flat" looking, too dark, or the white balance is off, clicking “Filter” opens a new menu full of options to help fix these problems produce a photo that's more appealing.

Sharpen: Click this tool once to make your image sharper—with better-defined edges—than before. Click it a second time to remove the sharpening effect.

Brightness: Use this tool to either lighten dark images or to bring definition back to images that are too light. To use it, click the tool, then click the gear icon, the move the slider until you achieve the look you prefer.

Gamma: Use this tool to remove color casts in your image. To use it, click the tool, then click the gear icon. You'll see three sliders, one each for red, green, and blue. Move these sliders up or down to adjust the strength of each primary color in your image until the color cast is gone.

Remove: Use this tool to remove a particular color from your image (these areas will become white instead). To use it, click the tool, then click the gear icon. Select a color you'd like to remove, then move the slider right or left to determine how much of the color to remove.

Inside of the Filter menu, click on a tool to apply it. For tools with finer adjustments, click on a tool, then on the gear icon to access further options.

When you're done making adjustments to each image, click Save

GTC Watchdog allows you set your eBay listing duration on your terms.  You're able to set up multiple watchdog rules based on various criteria and also pause and resume the rules as needed.

eBay Account:  Select which eBay account the rule should apply to

eBay Market:  Select which eBay market the rule should apply to

Primary Category:  Leave this set to any category or select a specific eBay category so that the rule only applies to listings within that category.

Don't End Listings with Sales:  Select this check box if you want the listings that have sales history on eBay, to be ignored by the watchdog rule

Enable Rule Immediately:  If selected, upon saving this rule, the current GTC listings within this settings criteria, will be affected and end early.


Once the rule is saved, there are options to pause/resume the rule, edit the rule, and delete the rule.

Adding a Logo

To add your logo into your print template

Click Apps → Print templates

When you see the list of templates, click the pencil icon (Edit Template) to the far right of the word "Invoice" to open your invoice template for editing

You should now see the HTML code for your invoice print template, ready for you to edit. Not an HTML expert? Don't worry. All we need to do is add a single line to your template. Follow these steps:

Click in the editor and position your cursor at the very beginning—the first position on the first line.

Press enter to add a blank line, move back up to the new blank line using your arrow keys, and insert the following text:
<img src="" height="50">

Now position your cursor in between the two consecutive quotation marks, and paste in the web address of the image that you copied previously.

To see what your invoices will look like with your company logo at the top, click the "Preview" button at the upper-right of the editor view

Next, select Save Template



Customizing the Code
 
We won't go over how the templates are put together in-depth, but as someone who's familiar with HTML, a quick scan through the template will probably show you that it's mostly standard HTML code, with a few fields pulled in for things like seller name and address, order ID number, and so on.  If you plan to make significant changes to a print template, do it in a new template so that if you make a mistake or don't like the effect, you still have your standard templates to fall back on.
