Spotlighting the Best in local Amateur Photography
For Digital Projected Image evenings submissions must conform to the following:
The following guide has been written for anyone who is unsure of how to ensure their images are displayed as intended — if you have trouble with this process please approach one of the more experienced digital workers in the Society.
Open the image (or a duplicate if you are concerned you may accidentally overwrite the original).
Most digital cameras photograph in sRGB although some offer the option to select other profiles (e.g. Adobe RGB 1998) If you have the image already tagged as sRGB you can skip this step — otherwise choose one of the following options as appropriate:
Colour shifts may occur if you attempt to assign a profile — other than that in which the image was created — to an untagged image or one which has been opened in an environment in which colour management is disabled.
Untagged images entered will be assumed to be sRGB and may consequently not display as intended.
Step 4 may take an unreasonable amount of time and resources with layered files unless you first flatten your image:Layers > Flatten Image.
Images must be supplied with a maximum Width of 1024 pixels and maximum Height of 768 pixels: Image > Image Size. Set both Width and Height unit drop-downs to pixels and make sure Constrain Proportions and Resample Image are selected.
Document Size will have no effect, as this applies to printed as opposed to on screen output, but a Resolution of 72 pixels/inch set before specifying the Pixel Width and Height dimensions should result in a maximum document size of 352.78mm wide by 246.94mm high which can be used to confirm the other settings are correct.
Files must be saved as the highest possible quality JPEGs: File > Save As
Repeat steps 1 thru 5 for each image and Copy files to a CD or USB pen drive.
