IMAGE GUIDELINES
Reports and
photo gallery
It is important to
first use an image editing tool (Photoshop, etc.) before uploading
any images. Images from digital cameras are too large for
the web and must be reduced before they can be uploaded.
They must meet the following requirements:
Image size and
orientation - Images should be no larger than 7 inches high and
5.25 inches wide unless you have been told otherwise.
Smaller images can be used but the preferred length to width
ration should be 4 to 3. For example, other acceptable sizes
would be 6x4.5, 5x3.75, 4x3, etc.
Resolution and
type - All images should be 72dpi and saved in the JPG format
preferably using "web resolution" settings. 72dpi is the
standard for web resolution images.
Naming - The
images should be named yyyymmdd_nn.jpg
where "yyyy" is the year, "mm" is the month, and "dd" is the day
the photo was taken. The "nn" is used to distinguish between
multiple photos that were uploaded on the same date. For
example, if three photos are being uploaded for the same date,
their names would be 20080328_01.jpg, 20080328_02.jpg, and
20080328_03.jpg. These names will be easy to remember when
attaching the photos to a report or adding them to the gallery.
Logos for links, resources, and sponsors
Logos can be
located on the web or provided by the owners. Most logos
will already have the correct web resolution, but they will have a
variety of sizes. Determine a maximum acceptable width for
your logos (typically 2 inches or less) and use an image editing
tool (Photoshop, etc.) reduce all logos to this size before
uploading.
Resolution and
type - All images should be 72dpi and saved in either the JPG or
GIF format preferably using "web resolution" settings. 72dpi
is the standard for web resolution images.
Naming - The
images should be named (renamed) logo_name.type
where "name" is the name of the
logo (lowrance, simard, etc.) and "type" is the image type
(.jpg/.gif). Examples would be logo_lowrance.jpg,
logo_simard.gif, etc. These names will be easy to remember
when attaching the images to a link.
