How Nimbus, LTD support the artist:

Nimbus, LTD offers artists another revenue stream through digital sales and/or subscriptions to their work.  The Artist retains ownership of their original works and allow Nimbus users digital viewing of their work.

You should then be directed to the Studio home page where you can upload your digital images and edit them for display on portrait and landscape orientations on the NimbusFrame.

Nimbus display requirements for artwork:

Nimbus gives you control of how your work is presented on the frames. Artists get to set up the images with cropping details for landscape and portrait displays, and more. This allows you to make sure your art is presented in the best possible way (currently all Nimbus Frames are in a 16×9 aspect ratio and can be mounted in portrait or landscape orientation).

This is a sample of an image upload.  The artist would Modify their art to present well on the frame, add key words, category and description to allow customers to find their works in the search browsers and set a price. There is a toggle yes/no to turn on and off an image’s availability for sale (life of the account viewing) for any need to remove an image from a collection or studio.  Be sure to hit the Save button.  After uploading multiple images, the artist can create collections that can be offered for monthly subscriptions.  Just click the Collections tab, name a collection and add art to it.  Or hover over a picture, an edit icon and a collections icon appear.  Click on the collections icon and create or add to a collection.

*Curation options are a coming feature for NimbusFrame and not yet available.  Some of the features in the Artist Studio are still under beta testing.  Please send us helpful feedback if you notice a bug or flaw.
