Requirements for Preparing and Submitting Digital Images

Email your one or two images to salon@minnesotanature.org before 6:00 PM the Sunday before the meeting - the earlier the better to allow for the proper archiving and presentation of your image.

*Digital images need to be in the following format to be accepted:

Computer adjustments to any image must comply with PSA rules for "Digital Images"

JPEG file format (.jpg)

Image size; minimum 1024 pixels, maximum 1280 pixels along the longest dimension.

Use the sRGB color space since that is how they will be displayed. If you are not familiar with the concept of color space, don’t worry about it.

File name for each image should be your personal 4-digit identification number* followed by a 12-letter image title. Add a (W) when the image complies with the PSA definition of authentic wildlife. For example:
1903 Dawn Swans (W).jpg - First image for member 903
2903 MarshMargld.jpg - Second image for member 903

Please type your two filenames, each on a new line, in the body of your email. Attach - do not embed - the images to a regular email message and email to salon@minnesotanature.org. The subject line should contain something like "Images for October salon".

Submissions which do not comply with the above requirements hinder file management and could be rejected or delayed entry to a salon until requirements are met.


*If you would like to be assigned a four-digit identification number, do not understand these requirements or require help to comply with them, please email your name and phone number to salon@minnesotanature.org and someone will contact you.
