| Crop it in your photo editing program. |

If you go to the LEARN section at the top of DPC, there is a section titled "Tutorials" There is a tutorial THERE that explains how to prepare images for submission.
Also check out the How'd They DO That section from the LEARN link at the top. Very useful stuff there.

You're not using photoshop (which is what the tutorial I linked you to is about), but the 'resize' thing is about the same for most programs. After you crop your image, you may need to 'resize'. If you read that tutorial, it shoud help you out even though your not using photoshop.

In addition to cropping, there's a resize function in every photo editing program that I know about. In Photoshop, it's just Image -> Image Size ... This is found starting with the menu bar at the top.
You should also take a look at the dpc tutorial - it's written for Photoshop, but you can achieve basically the same results with any photo editing program. Try to make your image as close to the 640 pixel maximum as you can, because you'll get lower scores if your image is too small. Good luck!
The tutorial is here: Using Photoshop to Prepare for DPC Challenges |

Oops, I typed too slowly!
Also, if you go to the help menu in your Microsoft imaging program and just type "resize image" or something like that, you're sure to get the answers you need. (but read the tutorial also, because there's very good info there.) |

You should already have Photoshop Elements. It ships with just about every Canon camera. |
