Call for photos for the UPHS 2013 Calendar
We accept origional black & white or color prints and slides. Avoid submitting photo prints with "linen" type finishes. Electronic scans are also fine, but please review the following: For the calendar we will need an image that is NO LESS than 300 DPI (dots per inch) at 11 inches wide. In color this will be approximately 17 MB (megabytes) in size. A black & White (grayscale) scan of the same size are typically 9-10 MB (megabytes) in size. Images captureed off the internet are typically 72 DPI and in the 30 to 100 K range-far short of our requirements. They look good on a screen display but cannot generally be counted on to reproduce well enough for publication. Ideally all color and black & white scans should be saved as TIFFS. However, we do work with jpgs, if they are of the proper resolution as outlined above. The jpg format is useful if the image is to be sent over the internet. Typically scanners perform in RGB, and you should leave the files in that format. The scanner should also be set to the 24 bits per channel setting. Please DO NOT use Index (some scanners have this as a default setting) or Lab color formats. Color slides or transparencies should be scanned at quite high resolution, 4000 DPI if possible as they are origionally small images.
