Some time ago I crated this
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1085264
as I heard from some users it was helpful.

So today I wanted to present to Bricklink community updated version.

This is the first try of making video tutorial for Bricklink. I decided to create
tutorial about stickered counterparts as they are freqently problematic for users
how
to add them.

There are two parts of the

part 1
shows how to submit such part to the catalog (ca.20 min long)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JqkgN1IsqB_hBGn_Vh61Pb4YqwUiTtLp

part 2
shows how to add such part to an existing inventory (ca. 4 min long)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1---YraPzshF26aTdR9CiPi-TVqdyTIsU

I hope they will be helpful.

Please share yout thought about them. Do you like them? Are they helpful? Do
you want more, if yes about what?

or maybe you don't like then and they are not needed.

I know first one is quite a long (20 min) but wanted to slowly and thoroughly
show process on two examples from one set and even there I didn't showed
or possible cases (so wideo could be longer )
So are such long videos are ok or should be shorter.

All inputs are appreciated. We can do more in that way if needed.

Looks good. I know there are many users that would have trouble taking a picture
and editing it. Maybe you can do one about that part? I find that getting the
pictures ready is the hardest part. Just a suggestion 😉😊

This is more problematic as there are so many graphic programms to editing pictures
and evrybody have their own preferences of using them. But I will think about
it.

Hi Marek,
Nice job!
Just wondering if this video is meant for beginner or it has new things for somebody
like me who has already added few stickered part?

I think it is very useful if you could create a video for editing photos, cutting
pieces from few photos, merging them together, adding texts,... to create a photo
like this:
https://img.bricklink.com/ItemImage/EXTN/2126.png

For example, if you could present this in those programs you use (two or three
programs) It does not need to be detailed and long, but presenting the first
steps would be enough.
I promise once you create such a video, you will see some satisfying outcome
from me soon!

P.S I spent some time on one of the programs you suggested me but I was exausted
and got nothing after few hours

As I already wrote here (in other answer) with this is a problem as there are
so many graphic programs to editing pictures and everybody have their own preferences.
Should I show only free ones or maybe also paied ones, but then could be complain
that you need to pay to use this graphic program (I use both types depending
on needs). But will think about it.

Very nice!
There was not really something new for me in your videos but I can confirm that
I do it exactly the same way.
And I'm sure they will be helpful for new users.

Just one remark: Every inventory page has an "Inventory Change Request" link
at the bottom. I prefer to use that link because the set number is already typed
in on the next step so I don't risk to type in a wrong numer.

Suggestions for future videos:
- Adding stickered assemblies
- Adding minifig parts (head, torso, legs) (and maybe minifig inventories)

I just have few old sets so I do not have source for stickered assemblies.

  - Adding minifig parts (head, torso, legs) (and maybe minifig inventories)

This is good idea and possible in near future as I do minfigs inventories frequently
so when occasion will occur then I would record it.
