Guidelines for Submitting Photos and Articles
Please send pictures and graphics electronically if at all possible. Quality of reproduction in magazine is much better if the original articles and photographs come in as digital. This means you can send the file as an attachment to an email, or email a link to a web hosted site for down load. If you have lots of photos you might want to consider mailing a CD or a DVD.
Do use one of the more popular digital formats. these include JPEG, PDF File, Zipped File, TIFF, GIF, and BMP.
Do not embed Photographs or other documents into a word document. Embedded items are harder to work with. copy is not editable in a JPEG or BMP format in a document and has to be recreated if there are any changes.
If you submit Photos, these will be scanned into the computer, so please do NOT write on the back of the photo with a pencil or pen. If you must write on the back of the photo, use a felt tip pen. Include captions or explanations and sequence with the graphics on a separate piece of paper. Also, do not use staples or paper clips. All of these can leave marks on the prints, and when they are scanned in, they have to be removed and that takes extra work.
Please submit high resolution files, 300 DPI, resolution. Also send large photo size so it can be enlarged without losing quality. Lower resolution will be accepted (100 to 200 DPI) but may not be published if the image is not good quality.
Photos and graphics can be in color or Black and White. It is at the discretion of the Editor if an article and accompanying graphics are published in color or Black and White.
