2. Download the photo in raw data. When downloading the file from
your camera or its removable storage card to another drive, save the
image in raw data. Do not manipulate the data (resize or try to edit the
image). Let us take care of that.
If your camera gives you the option, shoot the photo as a PC tif file.
We also accept jpg files. When saving a file as a jpg, choose a
Quality setting of Maximum or 10 and the Format Option of
Baseline (Standard).
The higher settings create larger photos and files. A color photo
usually results in a file of at least 2 MB and a grayscale photo of at
least 1 MB. There is no hard and fast rule about the images file size
but, generally, the bigger the size of the digital photo, the better the
quality of the photo.
Do not shoot a small photo on a low-resolution setting so you can
save data space on your cameras storage capacity. Shooting small
images at low-resolution will allow you to take more photos per
shooting, but we wont be able to publish any of them.
