| How about a tutorial explaining how to prepare and submit your images for display on this website (or others). I have read the "A Quick Visual Guide To Resampling" and it doesn't really answer my questions. I've got lots of images that look great (to me anyway) when I view them at, or near, full screen size on my computer. But when I cut them down to the requirements for dpchallenge they almost always look less attractive. I think a thorough tutorial on this subject that was not brand specific to Photoshop would be really helpfull to a lot of people here. |

| For me it is also important to know the viewers screen size (800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024 or something else). The dimension of the photo can be fitted to this. Mine is 1280x1024. |

The largest size picture you can submit is 640 pixels on any side. You might try making adjustments after you resize it. Also, you might want to make the adjustments when you are viewing the picture at 100%, in other words not zoomed in or out. That way you are seeing what the picture looks like at the web size as you adjust it. It doesn't matter what screen size the viewer has, they can only view a 640x480 or 640x640 picture because you can't upload a larger size.
Make sure you are using bicubic resampling when you resize down and make the file size as close to 150k as you can.

So you want something that goes through :
Rotation
Cropping
White balance
Levels adjustment (major adjustments, exposure changes)
Curves adjustment (fine tweak, contrast S curves)
Hue/Saturation ( Colour boost)
Downsizing
Sharpening
Border Addition
Saving for Web
(in the hope that people will extend/ adapt/ make changes)

| Just as an aside -- the "Quick Visual Guide to Resampling" wasn't meant to have anything to do with submitting to this site. It was dealing with enlarging pictures (for print), not making them smaller for the web. Consider it a pre-tutorial to Setzler's "Creating Printable Images." |

Thanks to all who replied to my post. Conflicting advise seems to reinforce my point about the need for a tutorial. Competition in the challenges should be about the quality of the images, not about who knows something about prepaging them for upload to dpc that others haven't discovered yet. Are there certain types of images that are more suitable to the downsizing process than others?

This thread should help a bit. True a tutorial would be nice be possible be lengthy because all of the different software out there.
Maybe tutorials for the main ones like: Photoshop(covers Elements also), Paint Shop Pro, and Photo Impact would be fine. Anyone with all those softwares that can write a tutorial so we don't have to ask anymore?
