See your artworks to scale in a virtual gallery space using Private Views
By default, 'View on a wall' uses the main artwork image, and scales it according to the artwork width, as entered in the artwork record using the 'Calculate' function. However, an override width and/or image can also be added specifically for use with View on a Wall.
This functionality is currently available to Artlogic Pro database users for beta testers. Get in touch with us to register your interest.
