About Galleries
You can create as many galleries as you like and upload as many images as you like into each gallery. The GALLERIES have been designed so that you can create a gallery for each different body of work. For example you may create galeries for paintings, sculpture and drawings etc.; or exhibition 1, exhibition 2, exhibition 3 etc.
TIP 1: It is advisable to create more galleries with fewer images, as galleries with many images will take longer to download. For this reason it is recommended to limit galleries to less than 1MB which is the equivalent to 10 x 100 k images or 20 x 50 k images.
