Photo Form Info

Whose photo can you use? -- You can use photos that are in the public domain. This includes photos by employees of the US government when they are at work. As far as I know, we can use photos with any CC license. We are not making a derivative when we crop and scale the photo. To make a derivative you need to add original material or change the intent of the photo. For example, a derivative would be when the photo becomes abstract art or is turned into someone's face. You can find photos with a CC license on https://www.flickr.com/ and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. Look in the WildflowerSearch "Links to Plant Photos" list. The "Author's permission" spreadsheet lists people who have given our project permission to use their photos, sometimes with conditions that must be satisfied. A few people have given us permission to use their photos yet they have disabled Flicr's download feature. In these cases, use a snipping tool to capture the screen image.

Image Author(s) Field -- For people who have already contributed photos, use the name as it appears in the "AuthorLinks" spreadsheet. This will make sure that their name is linked to their website. In cases where you know the website but are not sure of the name you can search this spreadsheet for the website. For new image authors, consider adding their website to the spreadsheet.

Link to license info Field -- For photos licensed with a Creative Commons license you can do a "copy link address" on a link to the CC license and paste that in this box. Then, copy the part that looks like "by-sa/3.0" and paste that into the "Permission" box.

Link(s) to pages... Field -- For Flickr photos, use the portion of the URL that looks like this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/user_name/5021132130/. The rest of the line is not needed. After completing the page, test the links to photos to make sure they work. You put multiple link into a box by placing a comma between them. Occasionally, a link (URL) will contain a comma character. This causes the link to be transformed into two broken links. Fix this by replacing the comma character with sequence "%3C" which is the proper way to include the comma character in a URL.

Name Page Help

All subspecies and variety names are written without the var. and ssp. dividers. This eliminates the confusion about the difference between a variety and subspecies and recovers from those cases where collection records may use the wrong divider.

Accepted Scientific Name -- The accepted name must be a species name, not a subspecies. The accepted name consists of a Genus, a species and an authority. The Genus and species can be changed in the upper box and the authority can be changed in the lower box.

Scientific Names... -- In this section we enter rules for finding the herbarium collection records for this species. The collection records are used to discover where and when the species can be found. Sometime after changing these rules off-line programs will fetch the collection records and build a new distribution map, elevation/observation chart and change the search scheme.

Each rule may end in a value within parenthese. The value is the number of herbarium collection records that were found. The parenthese and value is optional and treated as a comment.

In some cases the rule is simply the Genus and species of the accepted scientific name. Sometimes multiple names have been used and each name should be entered. Here are the specifics for making rules:

• Genus species   Fetch all records for this species name including subspecies.
• Genus species –   Fetch records for this species but not any subspecies.
• Genus species subspecies   Fetch this subspecies.
• In the above forms an authority can be specified. This is done by following the name with % auth where auth is one or more character strings that must be found in the authority field of the species. It is not necessary to enter the complete authority. For example, % Mill will match Mill. and Miller and (Mill.).
• Adding %– auth finds all records that do not contain auth in the authority field.
• The above rules are used to specify the collection records that are fetched. After getting those collection records we can then exclude some of them by making rules like those above but preceeding the rule with a minus (–). For example,
  –Genus species subspecies is a rule that will discard collection records of a specific subspecies.

Example: Find collection records for Abies balsamea but not for subspecies lasiocarba or fallax.
Abies balsamea
–Abies balsamea lasiocarpa
–Abies balsamea fallax

Instructions for using the Photo Editor

Get the photo(s) you plan to use into the Downloads directory on your PC. Drag a photo on top of the "No Photo" area and drop it. You can make it larger and smaller using the "Scale" drag bar. (Click down anywhere in this bar and move the mouse right or left. Release the mouse button when the size is right. Typically, this process must be repeated.) The photo can be tilted using the "Tilt" drag bar. Make 90 degree rotations using the "90 deg" button. You position the photo by doing a mouse down in the middle of the photo and dragging the photo to where you want it.

When you start, the photo area is a single window. At any time you can divide this area into multiple windows. Do this by doing a mouse down near the right edge (or bottom edge) and then dragging the new window left (or up). After multiple windows have been made you can adjust the boundary between windows by doing a mouse down near the boundary and then moving the boundary. This works only as long as the boundary is exactly the same length on both sides. You remove unwanted windows by dragging the boundary so that the window is very small. It is removed when you release the mouse button.

When there are multiple windows only one window is selected. You select a window by clicking on the window. The controls are connected to the selected window. Only the selected window is displayed with full contrast.

When your image has been composed you can examine how it will look by pressing the "Preview" button. At this point you should check the contrast of each window. A contrast histogram is displayed for the selected window. The right side of the histogram is for bright areas and the left side is for dark areas. Generally, an image with proper contrast will use the full histogram. If it doesn't, drag the cyan slider over to the end of the histogram. Moving the slider on the right will brighten the light areas. Moving the slider on the left will darken the dark areas. The slider in the middle will darken or lighten the gray areas without changing the most light or most dark areas. Sometimes this slider should be placed under a broad hump in the histogram. When doing these adjustments it greatly helps to have a display that is properly adjusted for contrast and brightness.

When your image looks right, press the "Send" button. This will transmit the image to the Google Cloud. If the page you are editing originally had no photo, the new photo will appear the next time you refresh the display. But if there was a photo, it often takes an hour for the old photo to get removed from the internet. Pressing the photo "Send" saves the photo but does not save the information in your form. And going to "Done" and submitting the form does not save the image you have made in the Google Cloud. You must do both operations. (Saving the photo more than once does no harm.)
