E.g., a published photo can be visible in the front-end in English but not in French. Find more details in [Translations with language-independent workflow](/v1/docs/translations-with-language-independent-workflow). ## Upload photos Editors can upload new documents from the document overview page in two ways: - Select *Upload* in the top-right​ corner: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/image-1757952273635.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T16%3A07%3A18Z&se=2026-10-27T17%3A07%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=beU2i8IwjRgz5VoaPL%2Bz11qDWU3%2FEMRGkwlV%2BaNAFi8%3D) - Drag and drop the document file into the documents area: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/image-1757952292251.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T16%3A07%3A18Z&se=2026-10-27T17%3A07%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=beU2i8IwjRgz5VoaPL%2Bz11qDWU3%2FEMRGkwlV%2BaNAFi8%3D) Once uploaded, select the document you want to edit. ### Image metadata mapping to photo fields In *Administration -> Configurations ->* Photo, administrators can map the image metadata to photo fields. E.g., in the screenshot below, - The image's *Title* maps to the photo's *title*. - The image's *ColorSpace* maps to the custom field *colorspace*. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/image-1757952312474.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T16%3A07%3A18Z&se=2026-10-27T17%3A07%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=beU2i8IwjRgz5VoaPL%2Bz11qDWU3%2FEMRGkwlV%2BaNAFi8%3D) When uploading an image for the first time, FORGE creates the photo entity and values its fields accordingly to the configured mapping. ## Edit Photos The photo editor page provides editors with dedicated sessions to manage: - [Translations](/v1/docs/upload-and-manage-documents#h_01JE8G27RT9BG2W44FHJJWAB8C) - [Preview](/v1/docs/upload-and-manage-documents#h_01JE8G27RTY2GXH0K9W5FAMZEE) - [Replace the image](/v1/docs/edit-and-tag-photos#replace-the-image) - [Adjust the focus](/v1/docs/edit-and-tag-photos#adjust-the-focus) - [Full screen](/v1/docs/edit-and-tag-photos#full-screen) - [Main properties](/v1/docs/upload-and-manage-documents#h_01JE8G27RTA0WD24GC7CF0B2QC) - [History](/v1/docs/upload-and-manage-documents#h_01JE8G27RTCAK3RTKR1SA5KNS5) - [General settings](/v1/docs/upload-and-manage-documents#h_01JE8G27RT2PM7V99HHHHVPASG) - [Context and tags](/v1/docs/upload-and-manage-documents#h_01JE8G27RT574DHW9RPDYS19WX) - [Promotion](/v1/docs/upload-and-manage-documents#h_01JE8G27RTQ28EPW62TE8T4C0X) - [Relations](/v1/docs/upload-and-manage-documents#h_01JE8G27RTCYJQAXDKDJQ6K60M) ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/image-1757952333889.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T16%3A07%3A18Z&se=2026-10-27T17%3A07%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=beU2i8IwjRgz5VoaPL%2Bz11qDWU3%2FEMRGkwlV%2BaNAFi8%3D) ### Translations ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/17546860150172.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T16%3A07%3A18Z&se=2026-10-27T17%3A07%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=beU2i8IwjRgz5VoaPL%2Bz11qDWU3%2FEMRGkwlV%2BaNAFi8%3D) #### Visibility per language By default, photos are visible in all languages.

So, all photo fields remain valued as they are. #### Adjust the focus Select *Adjust focus* to enter into the *Adjust focus* page: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/18980375993756.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T16%3A07%3A18Z&se=2026-10-27T17%3A07%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=beU2i8IwjRgz5VoaPL%2Bz11qDWU3%2FEMRGkwlV%2BaNAFi8%3D) Then, define the image area that any format must display: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/17546869091612.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T16%3A07%3A18Z&se=2026-10-27T17%3A07%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=beU2i8IwjRgz5VoaPL%2Bz11qDWU3%2FEMRGkwlV%2BaNAFi8%3D) Eventually, select *Apply* in the bottom-right corner to update formats: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/17546869093532.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T16%3A07%3A18Z&se=2026-10-27T17%3A07%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=beU2i8IwjRgz5VoaPL%2Bz11qDWU3%2FEMRGkwlV%2BaNAFi8%3D) Select *Reset focus to default* to delete changes.
