• Browse for the photo you would like to upload.

• Drag the purple plus sign to recenter your photo
• Depending on the size of your photo, you might be able to drag the slider under your photo to make it larger/smaller.
• The previews show how your photo will look in the variety of ways that this photo will be displayed.

• You can choose to return to your ID photo at any point
• You can browse for another photo choice
• Click on “Done Editing” when finished.

•  Select Public or Amherst Only to control what information shows in the directory. (Some items also include a “Hidden - visible only to me” option.)
