DIGITAL IMAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Your digital image file should be prepared according to the following instructions before starting the online entry proceedure. Please follow these simple instructions carefully.

 Your image MUST be submitted as follows:
Jpeg, Tiff or PNG file format (8-bit), Colour Space sRGB.
No greater than 768 pixels height for upright images or 1024 pixels width for landscape images.
300 ppi.
No fancy borders or added background whatsoever, however, a thin outline border around the image is acceptable.
Named with the number and title of the printed image as it will appear on your entry form ALL IN CAPITALS.
For all entries the title must be exactly the same as you intend to enter on your entry form including the sequence number, e.g.  1.THE LEANING TOWER.
For online entries the form will be completed automatically using the name of the digial file that you submit which must be the same as the title and entry sequence on the rear of the printed image.
We will not edit your digital image file names and so whatever is the name of your file will be the published text in the catalogue and anywhere else that the image is diplayed or referred to. Please check the name of your saved file to make sure that it does not include any information other than the No.& title.

Please note that your digital files will not be judged they are for publication use only.

 HOW TO resize your image files:
In Photoshop, covert to Colour Space sRGB then from the main menu choose Image > Image size.
Change the resolution to 300 pixels/inch.
If your image is upright format change the height to 768 pixels then press OK.
If your image is landscape format change the width to 1024 pixels then press OK.
From the main menu choose File then Save As.
Enter the number and title of the printed image as it will appear on your entry form. ALL IN CAPITALS. But DO NOT add the .jpg file extension in the 'Save as' field since your photo program will add this in the next step.
Select JPEG Format form the drop down list.
Navigate to the folder where you wish to store the image then press Save.
Note: Please DO NOT add borders or backgrounds of any kind to your image, however, a thin outline border is acceptable. The background of the catalogue is white and the background of the slide show is black, therefore any 'same colour' border will not necessarily show up in any publication.
TIP: Create a new named folder for your entry images so that they are easy to find when uploading your entry.
