| Im new to dpchallenge and would like to enter my first picture. However, when I resize my picture to 150kb (competition rule), all I see is a poor quality, highly pixelated photo. It was taken on a 10mp camera on highest quality. |

Try this tutorial - you shoud see good results.
Also - the higher level page has many other techniques (sharpening, etc) for prep on images here.
Welcome aboard! |

Hi Karel,
Have you resized your photo to meet the pixel size limits (640 or 720 pixels depending on the challenge rules)? Once you've done that then save as a good quality JPEG. That should get you within the limits.
Hope that helps
Miles

| Also just have a look at the top three pictures in any Exclusive Open Challenge. The file byte size restriction is never a problem for the winners. |

It also becomes a space and bandwidth problem.
You try serving up more than 150KB to the DPChallenge masses and see how your server goes. |

You can always become a member. The member challenges and Free Study have this ratio to work with;
no larger than 200 KB (204,800 bytes).
at least 160 pixels, and no more than 720 pixels on each side. |

Shouldn't be a problem if you do it right. |
