Overview

It is often helpful to know which images are being viewed by users to determine what types of imagery are popular, controversial, etc. PhotoShelter provides you with a way to view how many times someone has viewed your image in the public-areas of the site (i.e. not by you).

Each time someone views the large screen resolution image, whether in a gallery or through the results of an image search, PhotoShelter increments a counter for that image. You can view the statistics for an image in a variety of ways:

• From a gallery
• From your archive
• From the Image Statistics list under the "My Website" tab

Are thumbnails considered as an image view?

No, a user must click on an image and view the larger size for it to be counted as a "view."

Is there any way to reset the counter for an image?

No, the counter for the image is permanent.

If I add an image to a gallery, is that counter different from the one in my archival folders?

No. Any single image that is copied to a gallery(s), has a single counter.

Is there a way to see which image the stat is referring to without clicking on the image name?

If you move your mouse over the image name, a thumbnail of that image will appear.
