Image Preparation & Submission Guidelines

Our common goal is providing the highest quality images possible and integrating your images quickly into our gallery presentation. Therefore your attention to the following preparation and submission guidelines is appreciated.

File Types Accepted/Size
Photo image requirements are 4x6 inches at 300 dpi (file size to be maximum 6x6 inches, minimum 6x4 inches) For example a 72 dpi file at 25x25 inches sized to 6x6 inches in PhotoShop without resampling leaving the dpi and file size to go up will come out to be 6x6 at 300 dpi. Please save RGB jpg at the maximum setting.

Image Quality & Size
Customers are guaranteed a minimum resolution of 300dpi at a final printing size of at least 4" x 6". We prefer to provide them slightly larger for possible cropping requirements. All scans must be clean with any flaws retouched. We will not accept scan files that are less than professional quality. Save your images at top quality. DO NOT OPTIMIZE THEM , which will reduce quality. When using PhotoShop, save JPEG images at 12. If you use a different image-editing program, save images at highest setting.

Image Submission
We prefer that images be submitted on CD/DVD Hard Drive.Mail them to Attn: David Ewing P.O.Box 2314 Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia 3065. Please email us when you send your submission.

Keyword Preparation
Excel spreadsheet keywording corresponding to the photo numbering and IPTC meta data are both excepted.

Model Releases
The contributing photographer or illustrator is solely responsible for securing model releases and agrees to hold Affordable Stock Photography harmless against any and all claims.
