SUBMISSIONS

SUBMISSIONS

• Submissions must be sent as jpegs with a DPI of 300 and compression values equaling 10 or higher for High Resolution. They should be at least 8X12.
  
  
• We would like to see high res images only when we collect your ftp submissions
  
  
• CD submissions should always be compatible with the PC platform but can also be hybrid (MAC and PC compatible).
  PhotoEdit will keep all CDs in a catalogued file system. We recommend that you burn a duplicate copy for your records. Address them to Raquel Ramirez.
  
  
• Assignment shots should always be sent via FTP. Please send a notification of all uploads to Jesse Cantu.
  
  
  
  
  
• Make sure that your images are separated by spec, if it is an assignment shot.
  
  
• Please do NOT submit grayscale images, DVDs, tiffs, raw files, or psd files.
  
  
• Please do not manipulate the images in Photoshop. This does not include negotiating an f-stop, color correction, or applying settings to meet the above requirements.
   

WORDS OF CAUTION

If you are submitting over 50 images, separate them by subject or sub groups. The larger the submission the longer it will take to review them and showcase them online.

Please save images with proper orientation that do not need to be rotated. Horizontals should be horizontal and verticals should be vertical.

TECHNICAL DETAILS FOR DIGITAL CAMERA IMAGES

We prefer that you use a professional digital camera that yields, at very least, 6.0 mega pixels (6 million pixels).

CAPTIONING

Please provide caption information within the file info of each image. If you are not working with Adobe Photoshop, please send an accompanying file with image info including ethnicity, ages, location, and the like.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

When submitting your images electronically, we recommend using a FTP utility such as WS_FTP Pro or CUTE FTP for PC or FETCH for Mac. Or you may use our alternate http://www.photoeditinc.com/photoupload.asp to send your images. Please contact Raquel Ramirez or Jesse Cantu for the user id, password & host information.

CHANGING IMAGE SIZE AND RESOLUTION IN ADOBE PHOTOSHOP

1. In Photoshop, go to Image on the tool bar at the top left hand corner.
   
   
2. Click on Image Size, make sure that Constraint Proportions and Resample Image is checked.
   
   
3. Change the Resolution to 300 pixels/inch.
   
   
4. Change the document size to at least 8 x 12. (In a horizontal image, change the width to 12" and the vertical measurement should default itself. In the same way, a vertical image should have a heightof 12" and its width will assume its own default.)
   
   
5. To Save the image go to File on the tool bar at the top left, click Save or Save As.
   
   
6. The Format should be .JPEG (*.JPG, *.JPEG, *.JPE), click save.
   
   
7. In the JPEG Options box for the Image Options, set the quality to 10 or higher for the file compression and click OK.

FILE NAMING

• Scans should be saved with a file name that contains no strange characters (@#%&*) and NO spaces.  Use an underscore instead of a space.  All file name extensions must be consistent.  For example, the ".jpg" at the end should always be either uppercase ".JPG" or lowercase ".jpg" for all images submitted.
  
  
• Please add MR to all image names that are model released.
  
  
• Please add MR in your jpg name for Model Released, or NR for not Model Released.
  
  
• Please do not use caption information as the naming convention for your images.
  
  

  For example: LahainaAquaticCenter.jpg is fine as opposed to
  ThecommunityaquaticscenterinLahainaHawaiiatdusk.jpg
  The HR and LR must have the same naming convention.
  
  
  

Use a series of folders to create a hierarchy for faster sorting, thereby, faster uploading to the website.
