- Any image that has placed (1st, 2nd, 3rd or HM) may not be entered in a club competition for a minimum of 12 months
- Any digital manipulation is permissable, but image shown must be created from image(s) taken by the person entering the competition.
- Entering digital images
Digital images should be brought on the night on a memory stick, DVD or CD
Images will be loaded onto the laptop computer, so please allow adequate time for this prior to the meeting starting at 7:45pm
Images should be sized to 768 pixels in height. For landscape orientated images this will probably be 1024 x 768 pixels, or for portrait 576 x 768 pixels. Images should be saved as a high resolution JPEG image.
See page “How to resize your images” for info on how to do this!
TIFF images and images not sized to 768 pixels in size will be accepted provided overall file size does not exceed 2MB. Please ask for assistance if you are having trouble workingout how to size images.
Please save images with your name as the file and number 1 to 4. If you put the number first (eg 1 John Citizen, 2 John Citizen, 3 John Citizen) this will help mix them up when projected, rather than all your images being shown together.
