| So I'm trying to upload my image and it's WAY smaller than it usually is - am I doing something wrong? Or is everyone's entry going to be way smaller because the one side is 240 pixels? I'm sure I'm just overthinking this.... |

| You can have an image that is 1200*240, either vertical or horizontal. It's a strange aspect ratio but that's what's about this challenge. Have a look at the 160px challenge |

You're not doing anything wrong.
The 240 pixel restriction will definitely make the file smaller regardless of the other export settings. |

| Correct! It's simple to figure that out. ;-) |

| I've just skimmed through the 240 pixel entries and am loving the diversity of the entries. Looking forward to voting later! |

| After reviewing the entries I noticed some are not of the ratio 240 x 1200 (or 1200 x 240). Then I looked at the rules and it only states one edge must be 240. It does not state that the other edge must be 1200. Is this intentional or an oversight? |

| I took it to be intentional. The challenge basically allows the photographer to determine how they use the space to best effect. It is for the voter to determine whether they have achieved that! |

Agreed. I believe the intent here is 240x1200, not to just shrink it.
Just started voting, some very strong images in this one. |

I disagree.
Please note the NOTE in the challenge description: 'Note: this is NOT specifically a panoramic challenge."
It would be just as valid to have a square image of 240x240 pixels, in my opinion.
As long as one edge is exactly 240 pixels, it meets the challenge requirements.

I took it to mean 240x1200 also as the previous 160 challenge was more about the extreme aspect ratio, not about making little thumbnail sized square images to vote on.

Agreed. I believe the intent was 240 x 1200, same ratio as the previous 160 challenge. |

From the challenge description:
Some scenes lend themselves to a high-aspect-ratio crop. Show us something that does. |

Well, how I have a 5.5 I will never know. I have a tiny thumbnail of a photo. I seem to have that all wrong then! =(
Do you do a crop of 240 (say lengthways), not image size then? |
|

I say that anything with one side exactly 240 pixels met the challenge topic and is, of course, not a DNMC.
No matter what the other side is.
Vote what you like.

From the description, "This was first run as "160 Pixels" but now we have gone from 800px to 1200px, hence the 240px to maintain the ratio."
The first challenge was 160 x 800. For this challenge, what I did was enter 240 X 1200 in the crop dimension dialog you see at the top left when the cropping tool is on in photoshop. The cropping overlay/window will then appear at the extreme aspect ratio. : )

Yeah, I am blonde and stupid =P ! I have a thumbnail, gone to 5.3 now. I did it as the tallest or fattest it could be was 240. Did that as image size and then the image size correspond with 400 or so odd. It is my fault, for not knowing, I could do 240 by 1200. I do not know how to do that.(In fact still not sure how to do that, I take it is a crop from your description, not sure how to unlink the image size though to correspond without it being automatic, I need a tutorial!!! =P =) So my bad =(

When you CROP in PS or LR the tool opens a dialogue along the top bar. In that dialogue, you may specify the ratio to which you wish to crop, in this case by typing in 1200 & 240. There's a little back 'n forth arrow you can use to reverse the order if it comes out tall instead of wide (or VV). Then you just drag your image around inside the crop window until it looks good and, as they say, wahla :-)

There are some good photos indeed in this challenge, mine is not one of them....but then again I didn’t really try.. so you get what you put in.
I would prefer if we never have this challenge again though, I am very used to the 1200px by far! |

I did 1,200/240=5
Then set the crop tool to 5:1

I suspect he is referring to the following:
"One dimension of your photo, either height or width, must be exactly 240 pixels, otherwise it will be disqualified" with either being the important word here |

I see that there are already 3 images disqualified
The extra rule flag was very clear in this challenge. It seems many people struggle with resizing images.
