How do I cancel my membership?
Only "recurring" memberships need to be canceled. If you joined with a recurring membership,
it will remain active until you cancel or the billing method fails.
"Non-recurring" memberships expire automatically
at the end of the membership period. Cancelation of a recurring membership is very easy.
Go to CCBill.com
to cancel.

No. You may cancel your recurring membership at any time. Your membership remains active
until the end of the membership period. For example, if you joined with a 30-day recurring
membership, you can cancel your membership any time during the current 30-day
cycle (even
a few minutes after joining!), and you will have access to Torrid Art until
the end of the 30 day period.

My username and password don't work.
If your browser is entering your username and password automatically, try
entering them manually.
The system is case sensitive. If you are entering the username and password manually and they still don't work, make sure you are entering them with the correct case (upper/lower case). This is a common problem with entering the password, because the characters and their case cannot be seen as you enter them.
Check your receipt and make sure you are entering your username and password correctly before reporting a non-working password.
Usernames and passwords are maintained by CCBill.com. If you are entering the username and password manually and correctly and they still don't work, contact CCBill.com.

Pictures
How do I get the pictures from the ZIP file?
Galleries are downloaded as a single ZIP file. Just refer to your computer's
HELP system to find out how to extract the picture files.
top of page
Why are the pictures so big?
The pictures come in several different sizes. Download the size you want.
top of page
Why do all the pictures look the same size?
In general, programs used for viewing pictures, such as Windows
Photo Gallery, will "scale" large images so they fit into the viewer.
Even if a picture is very large, the viewer will reduce the size so that
it fits into the viewer window and you can see the entire picture.
top of page
What is Automatic Image Resizing and how do I turn it off?
Automatic Image Resizing (AIR) is a function in most modern Web browsers, and
it is usually active by default. AIR will reduce the size of an image so that
it fits in the browser window. AIR will not reduce the size of an image
in a web page. It will only affect an image when you click on a link that
goes directly to an image file.
See your browser's help system to learn how to disable AIR
top of page
What are the number of "pixels?" Why aren't the picture sizes in inches
or centimeters?
In an electronic image file, the pictures are composed of pixels, or dots.
The "number" that we, and almost all photography websites, use to represent the size of the picture,
for example 1200 pixels, is actually the number of pixels in the long
side of the picture. The pictures have dimensions in pixels.
For example 1200 x 800 pixels. The sizes
cannot be stated as inches or centimeters because the actual size of the picture, in
inches or cm, can be different on different monitors, for the same image.
For example, some monitors display 72 pixels per inch (ppi), some display 96 ppi, and others are different still. Additionally, if you print the images on paper, your printer might print at 150, 200, 300, or some other value of dots per inch (one pixel prints as one dot).
