Saving your images -
Please follow these guidelines to save your files on the CD:
* Label your CD with your full name, phone number and e-mail address
* Do not embed your images into any type of software (Word, Powerpoint, etc.). JPEG files must stand alone
* Save only JPEG images with a resolution that yields to a file size between 500 KB and 2 MB. Usually, the quality of the image is better if the file size is larger.
* Name your files by using your last name plus a sequential number 1, 2, 3, etc. (example: smith1.jpeg, smith2.jpeg).
* Artists are responsible for the clarity, scale, orientation and overall quality of their image files.
