Guidance Notes for
Emailing Pictures:
- First check that
a similar photo is not already on
the site.
- Photos should be
submitted in JPG format suitable
for the PC
- Scan at 300 dots
per inch if possible.
- If the photo is
curled then weight the lid of the
scanner with a heavy book!
- Scale to no larger
than 800 pixels wide (no larger
than 300k file size if possible)
- Email them as attachments
- one at a time.
- The name of file
should reflect the title of the
picture!
(eg "1965class3b.jpg"
rather than "school.jpg").
- Please supply year
taken, name of class and names of
people in the photos if possible.
- ....and note that
we reserve the right to reject pictures
- usually either because it is a
subject already covered or due to
quality
