GraphicRiver: Isolated Objects Upload Instructions

Please view our Isolated Objects Quality Guidelines before creating/submitting to this category.
  1. Clean Up Your Isolated Object: All submissions must be photographic objects only. Graphics and 3D renders will not be accepted. If you wish to submit a 3D render, please use the Graphics -> 3D Renders category instead.Follow these guidelines to create the Photoshop file containing your hi-res isolated object:
    1. Clip or mask your object in Photoshop to fully and cleanly separate it from the background.
    2. Place the object on it’s own layer.
    3. If the object has a shadow, place the shadow on it’s own layer.
    4. DO make sure the object clipping edges are smooth and clean.
    5. DO NOT flatten your Photoshop File.
    6. DO NOT rasterize layers unnecessarily.
    7. DO NOT merge layers unnecessarily.
    8. DO use non-destructive editing methods—masks, vector smart objects and other Photoshop tools—to provide the buyer with the most flexibility.
  2. Create the Final Download File:You should create a single ZIP file that contains the final files for download, including: the hi-res JPG and layered PSD file, any documentation and any auxiliary files such as extra images or file formats. This is the file that a user will get when they buy the item. Make it as complete as possible.Optional Help File: You may if you wish include a text or PDF help file showing how the item can be used, what fonts are used or other help on customizing and using the item.
  3. Create your Preview Image:Create a preview JPG image of the file. The preview image should be 590px wide and a static JPG saved for the web. The preview can be as vertically tall as you desire, however we recommend previews no larger than 700 pixels tall for optimal viewing. The preview should represent as much of your file as possible. A watermark will be applied automatically to the image.Note: Please use the Save for Web function in Adobe software; this strips excess information from the file and keeps the file size small. The maximum file size should be 400kb.
  4. Create a Thumbnail:Finally create an 80px x 80px JPG or PNG thumbnail for your file. The thumbnail should represent your item in some way.Note: Please use the Save for Web function in Adobe software; this strips excess information from the file and keeps the file size small. The maximum file size should be 50kb.
