Christmas/New Year Photocompetition announcement

ok i'm in, let me know if it is messed up as it does not look right in my sent box

I am having no picture format issues with Photobucket at all. If your PC cannot identify the image properly that may be an issue as the PBucket website needs that information provided by your PC to identify the picture.

I have managed to re-size some of the images which had previously appeared a bit on the small size in order that all the entries look more or less the same size now.

What pixel or cm size would you recommend is submitted?

They get resized when uploaded to photobucket I think, so as long as the file size is 1MB or under it should be fine.

Nope. Thr file size has no real bearing on the image size per se.
A 1 Meg file straight from my one camera (16-bit, 300 dpi) is an image about an inch long (and if scaled up to be seen on the forum would be seen as 20 big pixels!); a 1 meg file straight from my cheap compact (8-bit, 72 dpi) would be over 10 inches long.
It's to do with resolution and pixel proportions when scaling up or down.

Dude you aint gettin me, the image is reduced in sze, pixel w and h to something like 300x100 but the image has to be less that 1MB to enter the comp, I think it is 1MB, nothing to do with image size v file size were my comments.

And Nope dpi is an old term applied to everything resolution related these days, when you view an image on your screen from a camera pic you took, you are seeing ppi not dpi, as this was an output of print quality and still is, what we are talking is PPI, PPI will affect the output size of the file. You may look at a pickture on a screen with less PPI than the actual dpi output when you print off the picture, DPI does not affect digital images, only ppi, ppi is indeed relative to file size.

I know the difference, I should working in IT for 7 years:laugh:
