An online gallery for a Fatih exhibition might combine work photographed by the venue, images supplied by artists and older material from its archive. The credit can disappear when an image is enlarged or reused. Test three sample images from different sources before publishing the gallery.
Give each image a record the editors can find
Record an image reference, its source, the credit line supplied by that source and the contact or document that confirms where the team may use it. Keep the object title and the photographer credit in separate fields. Ask a second editor to match each of the three sample images to its record without relying on the filename alone.
Follow the credit through the whole gallery
Open the gallery on a phone and move from a thumbnail to the enlarged image. Check that the visitor can still tell who made the work and who provided or took the photograph. If the gallery has a share link, open it in a signed-out browser and check that it opens the intended image with its credit.
Read the same image in both languages. Keep names and source references consistent. Give translators the approved wording for any part of a caption that should be translated.
Replace an image and check for a copied credit
In a test copy, substitute a different view of an object that came from another source. Verify the rewritten caption and credit on the card, enlarged view and both language pages. Check any related page that used the original image. Keep the old source record so the team can identify what had been published.
Record the review before publishing
Use one row per image with its reference, live page, source, approved credit, available views and reviewer. Resolve any uncertainty about using an image with the person who supplied it before including it in the gallery.
Checklist before publishing
- Every image has a source and credit record
- Credit remains visible in the enlarged view
- Both languages use the approved names
- Replacement images have their own credit
