No other editing is done prior to uploading to the site.

All images are uploaded to the site as high resolution JPEG files.

All images are uploaded at the pixel size following any cropping that is carried out. The pixel size of each image will be displayed with the image on the site and also contained in the image's metadata. All images on the site are 72DPI (Dots per Inch).

(please note, these are guides only, these will vary depending on the output devices used).

Glossy magazine 300+DPI
Web 72DPI
Be careful not to add pixels to the image when altering the DPI.

Sharpening. As no sharpening is carried out prior to uploading to this site, it is important that the image has some sharpening carried out prior to printing. Following is a guide for sharpening. The guide and how to do it is from Adobe Photoshop CS.

Threshold = 0 Levels
These settings are only a guide. Please take care not to over sharpen.

Contrast. The contrast setting on the camera is the lowest possible setting -2. Therefore the images on this site have little or no contrast.

Move the slide until you have the desired contrast in the image. Ensure that the preview option is checked. These settings are only a guide. Please take care not to add too much contrast as you may dramatically change the colours and appearance of the image. A good guide is to avoid going over +30
