Photograph
& Slide Submission Guidelines
|
The
preferred formats for images used in The Prospector are 35mm slides,
negatives or 8x10-inch glossy black-and-white or color prints. If
you have the slide or negative, please send that instead of a print.
Do not send negatives or prints larger than 8x10 inches. If you
wish to send transparencies in other formats, e.g., 2 1/4 x 2 1/4-inches
or 4x5-inches, e-mail editor@drgw.org
prior to sending them.
- Slide
or Negative Format - At the present time, we can accept
original slides or negatives in 35mm as well as 2 1/4 x 2 1/4-inch
or 4x5-inch transparencies. Please contact
us before you send anything. Slides will not be dismounted
during the scanning process.
- Scans
- If you wish, you can scan your images and send the scans on
a CD or DVD. Files must be saved as uncompressed TIFs.
Prints should be scanned at 600dpi or higher. Slides and negatives
should be scanned at the maximum optical capability of your
scanner. Do not manipulate the scanned image in any way except
to adjust its orientation. We will adjust color, contrast, sharpness,
etc.
- Captions
- Each slide mount or print must have the photographer's
name and address on it, should it become separated from other
material submitted with it. Do not type on the print, and do
not use rubber cement. Prints should have all caption material
on them, and slides should have as much information as possible
(location, date, subject). Expanded information for slides may
accompany on a separate sheet. Attach caption material to prints
with so-called magic transparent (matte finish) tape, or self-adhesive
labels.
- Return
- We normally return slides and prints unless you indicate
that you do not want them returned. Be sure to include your
complete mailing address (and e-mail address) on all slides
and prints.
