In this window you can optionally define and manage Artist Images. Artist Images provide a means of segmenting your Artists into groups according to their demand. Once you have created two or more Artist Images, you can apply them to Artist Blocks to manage where they will appear in your schedules.

All Artist Images are listed in this pane. As each Image is added, GSelector automatically assigns a percentage range to each Artist Image, dividing the total percentage range equally between all the Artist Image Names. In the above example the three Artist Image Names have equal percentage ranges of 33%. If a fourth Artist Image Name is added, the ranges would become 25% for each Artist Image Name.
This Artist Image Names are sorted by the Maximum Percentage Range figure, in ascending or descending order. To assign a different order to an Artist Image name, select the name and use the Change list buttons.

GSelector analyses Artist Demand, working across all Dayparts. All Artists are then ranked by Demand, and assigned a value in percentage terms. The Clocks used to assess Artist Demand are those currently assigned in the default Clock Assignment grid. The Artist with lowest Demand is given an Artist Image value of 0%, and the Artist with highest Demand a value of 100%. In between these two extremes, the user defines ranges to create Artist Image values. In this window, you define as many Images as you need from within this percentage range. A typical Artist Image range could be values like:
0 - 33: Tertiary
34 - 66: Secondary
67 - 100: Power
The artists assigned to these ranges are automatically updated as songs move between Categories, or Clocks are adjusted, so altering Category Demand.
NOTE: If you don't care about using Artist Image to define the Artists used for Artist Block scheduling, assign one overall Artist Image.
When you insert a Clock Artist Block Position, GSelector will call for a song or songs for the Artist Block by the specific Artist Image defined in this window. See the Artist Image notes in the Working with Artist Block topic for full details.
