INFO RE PHOTOS SUBMITTED
What do we do with your digital photos?
We concentrate the pixels (or dots) that make up the photo so that there are 300 dots per inch (dpi). (For the metric generation note that 1 inch equals 2.54cm.)
Most digital cameras produce a photo that is either 72 or 96 dpi – a higher end camera may produce images at 180 dpi. Concentrating these dots to achieve 300 per inch reduces the size of the photo. In the case of 72 dpi the photo ends up at 24% of its original size; at 96 dpi the photos becomes 32% of the original size.
COPYRIGHT: If sending a photo taken by a professional photographer, please ensure that you also advise any wording required by us for acknowledging the photographer.
EMAILING REQUIREMENTS: Remember to “attach” your photos to your email as a separate picture-type file, but don’t opt to reduce the file size in your email.
TIPS FOR WHEN TAKING PHOTOS: Choose the highest quality setting – This ensures the best quality with any prints you may wish to have done later, especially after cropping. We need to receive photo image that is a minimum of 1063 pixels in width – and that is for the area to be used i.e. the cropped area of the photo. So check your camera’s manual for the pixels contained in the different quality settings. Take multiple shots. Choosing the best pics comes later – after all they are only temporarily taking up space on the memory card . . . until you have downloaded the photos onto your computer! Way better to see those photos on the computer’s larger screen to see which is best.
