Description
Run time: 12:20You may find it faster/smoother to download the file to your desktop and play it in your browser.
Also, be sure to check out my Prints II Windows XP FTP Tutorial to learn how to upload via FTP.
In November, 2006 deviantART Prints II was launched. The most important change is the addition of the Standard Print Account, available now to all deviants free of charge. That's right, every single one of the 3.5+ million members of deviantART now has a free Standard Print Account. This tutorial will show you how you can easily make your work available for free to the entire world in a variety of sizes, finishes, and products.
This tutorial is far from perfect but I'm far from being a professional speaker so it all works out.
Things I missed
• Crop nodes. The nodes on the corners and sides of your preview in the Adjust Image tool will allow you to do a custom crop on your work, rather than just relying on the Scale tool and default crop/matte options. Be sure to play with these settings until you get the look you desire.
• Canvas prints. Using the matte feature will ensure your image is not wrapped around the wooden frame used for canvas prints.
• FTP uploads are now synced with the File Deck.
If you notice anything else I've missed that you feel is significant, please let me know. An updated version is in the works.

Now that I'm trying it again, I see that dA is going very slowly. There may be some maintenance going on behind-the-scenes. Give it a try in a while and it may go faster.

The missing "Play" phase bothers me (but maybe that's just me). Besides, when you rewind the flash it's going psyhadelic with the voices. Otherwise, great work.

The software I've used is very limited in output options. I'm working to find another option for the next release.

This is good I guess, that you wrote a tutorial that is. Props for that! But it's just sad that there is a need for a tutorial. Doesn't that tell something?

I found the new system to be so much more intuitive than the old one that I was quite shocked to hear people were having trouble. But hey, everyone learns in a different way and at a different speed. If I can help a little, I'm happy. Thanks for the compliment.

Prints II is really simple and saves us loads of pain in the ass by being able to use the same high res image for all size ratios.
Awesome tutorial.
