Hi Guys
Just joined you in here, so here is your chance to show what a nice lot you are by answering these simple, I am sure, questions.
I am about to enter a photo comp for the first time, run by a travel magazine and I am not quite sure of some of the requirements.
For digital images it says "The uninterpolated file size for digital entries should be at a minimum 10MB at 300dpi. I need to submit a print less than A4 and the jpeg.
Q1 : If I have photos taken on a "5mp camera", i.e. 2592 by 1944 pixels, that is 5038848 pixels, using one byte per color that would be 15,116,544 bytes - i.e 15MB in "raw".
Also 2592/300 = 8.64, so the long side of any print I submit must be less than 8.64 inches.
So am I OK? - or have I got it all wrong?
Q2 : How do I get prints of my 1.333333 aspect ratio images? - If I send them in to printers as they are they always seem to get cropped to fit with the aspect ratio of the paper they use, which is never 1.33333. The rules state that cropping/resizing is not allowed.
Q3 : Can anyone suggest a good digital photo printing service in the UK to meet my requirements for these prints.
Thanks in advance
