&lt;p&gt;This page is used to configure the default settings that Stockbox will use when a new photographer signs up to your site. You can set the Photographer&#039;s commission rate and require the administrator to approve newly uploaded media.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enable Photographer Email Validation&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Check this box if you want to validate the photographer&#039;s email address before their registration is activated. Once a new Photographer registers to the system they will be emailed a link that will activate their account when clicked. If you want the photographers to remain in pending status until you manually approve them, then you will need to use this feature, but remove the [LINK] call tag from the photographer_activate_email.txt template.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enable Photographer Agreement Checkbox on Registration Form&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check this box if you want to display the agreement checkbox on the photographer&#039;s registration form. Photographers must check this checkbox on the form to complete the registration process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Allow Photographers to Add New Category&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When this option is enabled, the system will allow photographers to create new categories in the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enable Photographer Default File Upload Without Admin Approval&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Un-check this box if you want to approve each photographer&#039;s uploaded media (otherwise it will automatically be added to the gallery).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enable Photographer Approval Notification&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check this box if you want the system to send a notification email to your email address each time a photographer uploads new media to the system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enable Welcome email notification when photographers account status becomes active&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check this box if you want the system to send a welcome message to the photographer&#039;s registered email address when their account becomes active.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enable Photographer Marquee Listing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When this option is enabled, the system will display all photographers in the gallery where the &lt;strong&gt;[PHOTOGRAPHER]&lt;/strong&gt; call tag is positioned in the &lt;strong&gt;gallery.tpl&lt;/strong&gt; template. The photographers names will be displayed in scrolling marquee style list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enable Send Email for Un-approved Media&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When this option is enable, system will send photographer email when his/her media is remove from the Media Approval List&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enable Send Email for Approved Media&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When this option is enable, system will send you photographer email when his/her media has been approved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enable Upload Hi-Res Auto Resize Images&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When this option is enabled, the system will allow photographers to upload hi-res images to the Hi-res Auto Resize Folder in the photographer section. This feature will automatically generate the download files, the display files and the thumbnail files from the uploaded hi-res images. This option is only available when you have ImageMagick&amp;copy; Installed on your server and you have input the correct path in the Media Configuration. Also, the system only supports JPG or JPEG file formats when using this feature. Once you have completed the upload of the hi-res files to this folder, you must use the Import Hi-res &lt;img style=&quot;vertical-align: top;&quot; src=&quot;images/admin/import_hi_res.gif&quot; alt=&quot;import hi-res&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; /&gt; function to import these files into the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Allow Photographers to Add Portfolios&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;When this option is enabled, the system will allow photographers to add their portfolio to the system. However, their portfolio will remain in Hidden status until the admin changes the status to Active.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Default Commission Rate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;This commission rate is applied for the default setup. This percentage is the amount that will be withheld by you before the Photographer is paid for the sales of their images. Therefore, if the sales total is $ 100.00 and the percentage is set to 30%, then the system will calculate that the amount owed to the Photographer is $ 70.00. You can change this value for an individual photographer by editing their photographer&#039;s profile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minimum Number of Characters for Photographer&#039;s Username&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the minimum number characters that photographer must use for their username. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Click on the &lt;strong&gt;Submit&lt;/strong&gt; button to save the changes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
