The new gallery system introduced in January 2007 was designed to be a resource for members searching for inspiration and ideas as well as a repository for photos utilized in store directory entries, product entries and integral to articles, tutorials and FAQs.
Tantamount to our goal of making the photos easy to locate for someone who's looking for say...."Abstrakt Red" and "Stainless", certain bits of information must be collected on upload. It's quick and painless - akin to assigning "tags" to photos uploaded to Flickr or similar sites. But don't let that scare you! It really IS easy, and the benefits are great.
You should be able to bring the image up (choose text link under the appropriate picture in your gallery: Your Gallery) and chose "Edit" from the "Toolkit" drop down menu at the top right just above the listing of pictures. Then you'll need to confirm what category the image is in (as there are different info fields required for different categories) and then you'll be taken to a screen where you can modify the description or any other values for the image/set.

Please let me know if you have any problems?

I do not have an edit option in the toolkit dropdown (my options are Gallery
home, upload, search, slideshow and albums).
Make sure that you have the photo you want to edit opened and the toolkit should show an Edit
Here's a screenshot that might help
Re: Photos: How to use the IKEAFANS Galleries
I am not going to waste any more of your time with my little problem but I am still not getting the same drop down menu as the one shown in your picture. FYI I am going to retrace my steps, but since it was my first attempt at uploading pictures, I might have made a mistake.
To edit my pictures I went to my account, view your gallery, clicked on the name under a picture, click on toolkit but did not see an edit option in the drop down menu like the one in your picture (incidently, I do not have the "rate file" button either).
Thanks for your help anyway.
Hi Frederique - Sorry for your frustration. I'll take a look into the permissions. As they are set, you should be able to edit your own photos. If there is anything I can do to help in this particular situation, please let me know and I'll do what I can!
Hi catnomu! First off - if your images are in a set, you can't delete just one from a set. If they were individually uploaded, then you should be able to. Do you see a delete option in the Toolkit when you go to an image in the Galleries? I know there was something screwy in the permissions that was proving difficult to nail down, so if you can't find it - don't worry - it's not you!
If you don't see that option, then reply here, or PM me with the details of what you'd like to have deleted and I'll take care of it for you. Sorry for the trouble!
