All images should be at least 300 dpi
Using too low a resolution for a printed image results in pixilation (large coarse-looking pixels)

Color mode: CMYK

File format: TIFF (Tagged-Image File Format) Is used to exchange files between applications and computer platforms.

When sending a submission for This Month, do not embed the image into the word document. Always send the image as a TIFF file with the word document or send the two files separately. These images should be at least 2 1/2 inches wide.

Images to be included in a story should be at least 6 inches wide.

When using a digital camera always use the camera's highest quality setting. Using a lower quality will produce jaggy & crude images when printed. Always send the original image file that the camera produced. Because digital cameras vary widely in terms of image quality, we may not be able to use what you send us.
