RESIZING YOUR IMAGE FOR ENTRY
 TO PREPARE IMAGES FOR ONLINE ENTRY PLEASE USE THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA: 

• Make a copy of your original photo to apply the resizing criteria. 
• File size no larger than 4MB 
• Set image resolution first to 300 ppi. 
• Then size to 1,280 pixels on the longest side with the other side, width or height, proportional. A smaller size may result in an image too small for the judges to properly view. 
• Check the overall size of the file and lower the ppi if the file size exceeds 4MB. 
• JPG, TIF or PNG formats only 


Additional Information on Re-sizing your Digital File for Submission to Smarter Entry. 
Having trouble getting your digital file size down to a reasonable size? 
First re-size the original file to a smaller size: for example, re-size your larger file from your camera to an 8 x 10 format size and then export as a 300ppi, 1,280ppi file on the longest side.  This will ensure that your file size is small enough to be submitted using the Smarter Entry system without difficulty.
 


Where to Get Help? Have Questions?
If you have questions regarding file sizing, file formats, rules, creating a Smarter Entry profile or submitting through your Smarter Entry profile, contact Contest Administrator Kathy Syverson via contests@tuolumnecountyarts.org. 


PROGRAMS TO USE FOR PHOTO EDITING AND RESIZING IMAGES
All of the Adobe Photo Editing programs (Photoshop, Lightroom and Elements) provide photo resizing features.  Other downloadable software choices are GIMP or Picasa3. You can do a google search to find tutorials to help you. Be sure to include the operating system you will be using when you search. 

Don’t want to download software? That is not a problem, there are some great websites out there that allow you to resize your photos for free.
