How to change the primary image

I already uploaded more than one image for a film I am credited in, and just want to change which one is the main image.  The existing poster I provided is already accepted for the page, as are the others.  How can I change which of the gallery is the primary image?

Hi Derek -

You can request a replacement of the primary poster for a title by going to the applicable title photo gallery and viewing the image that you want to be listed as the primary, then click on the "Edit Tags" button:



Clicking on the button will then display the update form.  Next to "Primary Image" you will need to click on the arrow and tick the box that says "Suggest as primary image for...".  You will need to provide an explanation for why you are making your request, you will then need to click on the "Submit" button and the request will be forwarded to our photo editors.



Please also keep in mind that you can only request a new primary for an image on the site that is listed as a poster image (ie. you won;t be able to select a production still or event photo as a primary image).

Thanks Michelle.  I now have all the primary images for my 25 credits correctly uploaded.  One thing I have noticed is that on the iPhone app, there is a a full width Banner image above the Poster image on a few of my credits, e.g.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100494/?ref_=nm_flmg_msdp_17 whereas on others, e.g.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101062/?ref_=nm_flmg_msdp_16 this doesn't happen, even though there are two images present.  Is it possible to configure the image upload so the existing Poster images remain as they are for all the credits, but I add an extra image for the banner, that is taken from the footage?

thank you for your comment. what exactly are the criterias for the primary images? I had one, who was a poster. but the primary one is just a picture from the movie, not a poster. for me unlogically.
