Submitting Photos for Display with our Digital Projector
-for “member share” and “photo shoot” reports.
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES FOR DISPLAY OF YOUR IMAGES AT OUR MONTHLY MEETINGS (This does not apply to our website Gallery images, which has separate requirements).
If you have any questions about these guidelines, you can email our projectionist at least one day before the meeting.
We currently have a calibrated/profiled system that will accurately project your image settings. To be sure that your images match what you see on your monitor, you too should have a calibrated monitor with your computer.
SUBMISSION
Each member is encouraged to submit up to two images for “member share”. These will be viewed and constructively commented on by the attending members or judges.
Each member, who has participated in a “club photo shoot”, may also contribute their favorite photos for the “photo shoot” section of our monthly meeting. These photos will be shown, without comment by the attending members, and on a “as time permits” basis. Please give us your journalistic or fine art view of the photo shoot. This is your chance to show us what went on and what the photographic results were.
All images are to be emailed to the club “projectionist”, no later than 6:30 PM the night before our meeting. Due to time constraints, there will not be any images added the evening of the meeting.
PREPARATION STEPS
- Edit your photo in your favorite software application. There are no restrictions on digital darkroom technique.
- Save the original high resolution image in your normal workflow procedure.
- Using a duplicate image, do the following:
- Size to fit the projector; 1024 max. width X 768 max. height. All images must fit within this box size. Be certain that the width pixels and height pixels do not exceed either of these dimensions, e.g. landscape images should not exceed 1024 pixels wide X 768 pixels high, and portrait images should not exceed 768 pixels high.
- Set the color profile to sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
- Set sharpening and contrast as needed for this reduced resolution.
- “save as” jpeg at the highest quality setting & file name with your first and last name; #1 or #2. e.g. JohnDoe#1.jpg JohnDoe#2.jpg
- Check your image, in your viewer, prior to submission, to confirm your settings.
- Size to fit the projector; 1024 max. width X 768 max. height. All images must fit within this box size. Be certain that the width pixels and height pixels do not exceed either of these dimensions, e.g. landscape images should not exceed 1024 pixels wide X 768 pixels high, and portrait images should not exceed 768 pixels high.
- This procedure will result in an image not larger than 500-1,000 kbyte.
- E-mail to “projectionist” via club website “contacts” tab at: www.nc-photo.org
- You should receive an e-mail reply confirming your submission, as soon as the projectionist opens the file.
