These instructions do not address the specifics of each image manipulation program (e.g. Photoshop, Elements, Photo Deluxe, and others) but are detailed enough to allow you to submit a properly formatted image.
Once you have finished working your image and you are ready to submit it, you must format it for submittal.
Hopefully, you have worked your image in RGB Color Mode. This is the preferred Color Mode for all image submittals except B & W, which can be in Monochrome. If your image is not in RGB Color Mode, change it to RGB Color Mode now.
The next step is to size it.
Sizing
A little bit about the projector.
The maximum width it can display is 1024 pixels. The max height is 768.
What this means is your image can never be over 1024 pixels wide or over 768 pixels high.
When resizing your image to fit, resize whatever is the longer dimension to fit the maximum number in that dimension. Select the option to “contstrain proportions”. This will keep the aspect ratio the same for both height and width.
For example, an image that’s 2000 pixels wide and 1000 pixels high is wider than it is high. Therefore, size the width to 1024. Your software will resize the height accordingly.
An image that’s 2000 pixels high and 1000 pixels wide may be fine for width (under 1024 pixels) but it’s too high. Resize the height to 768. The width will automatically be resized as well.
Files
Use the title of the image as the filename. For example, if you’re submitting a B&W image titled, “Shoe”, the filename should be Shoe.jpg.
When your software asks what sort of compression you want, set it to medium. In Photoshop, a compression level anywhere from 5 to 8 is acceptable.
Submission
Attach the formatted image (see facing page) to an email, and send to Ed Valusek at SUBMISSIONS.
In the text of the email, include any pertinent details about the image, such as:
This will eliminate confusion on the part of the person who puts together the slide show for the meeting.
