Does your print belong in the Printcomp Online Gallery?

It does if you entered this month's competition and received a score of 75 or higher. Here's how to submit your print.

1. Create a web-resolution image that is 650 pixels on the long side. To do this in Photoshop, use the File / Automate / Fit Image... command, and enter 650 into both fields.
   
   
   
   Please use the same presentation you used in competition: include borders, keylines, mats, or digital representations of them.
   
   
2. Sharpen your image appropriately. I recommend unsharp mask settings of
   500%, 0.2 pixels, and 0 threshold levels:
   
   
    
   You may use whatever sharpening you prefer.
   
   
3. If your image is not already in sRGB, convert it. (Edit / Convert to Profile... in CS2 and above):
   
   
   
   
4. Save the image using Save For Web... with a quality setting of 60 and Progressive and ICC Profile boxes unchecked:
   
   
   
   Name your file YearMonthLastFirst.jpg, as in 200705OlsonJulie.jpg. Append the letter A or B if you are submitting more than one image.
   
   Please use Save for Web and not the standard Save function, because this creates images that are better optimized for web display, and this keeps our gallery page loading quickly. In other words, it gives us the best image quality bang for our bandwidth buck.
   
   
5. Attach the image to an email and send it to webmaster@ppgba.org, within 5 days of the competition. Include in the body of your email the title of the image, the category, your name, and the URL to your website.

Please note:

You are responsible for how your image looks online. That means:

• You must follow the instructions above exactly. If your image doesn't meet our specifications, we won't display it.
• Your email must include the image title, category, your name, and your URL. If any of these are missing, we won't display your image.
• If you reduce your image from high resolution, you must sharpen it. We will not sharpen it for you.
• Your image must be in sRGB color space. We will not convert it for you.
• Images are due within 5 days of the Print Competition in which they were entered.  That means: if the print competition took place on a Thursday, your images are due by 11:59 PM on the following Tuesday. There are no exceptions for holidays, weekends or anything else.
• Do not submit images before the competition.
• If your image doesn't look right on this website, we will not re-post it for you. In other words, please check that you've done everything right before sending your image. If in doubt, do a test post to your own website and make sure it looks right.
• Please use the same image presentation you used in competition. That means you should include borders, keylines, mattes, or digital representations of them.

Please help us to deliver this benefit by following these instructions carefully. If you need help, please ask another photographer or a computer-savvy friend. Like you, your webmaster is a working professional photographer, and my efforts to provide this benefit are entirely voluntary. I have tried to make these instructions as clear as possible, but I am unable to provide you with technical support. (If you have a suggestion that will improve this process, please email.)
