RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE
1. Select Canvas (Frame) Size under the heading “Image” in Photoshop if you wish to add a
boarder to the image and make your adjustements. If you do not wish to add a boarder, go to
Step 2.
2. Select Image Size under the heading “Image” in Photoshop. Tick the following boxes: Scale
Styles, Constrain Proportions and Resample Image.
3. The maximum size of the image must not exceed 1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high.
4. When resizing a horizontal image (Landscape) enter 1920 pixels in the Width Box and the
vertical size will be adjusted automatically if you have ticked the “Resample Image” box. If
the vertical size is 1080 pixels or less, the resizing is correct. If the vertical adjusts to a value
more than 1080 pixels (say 1096 pixels) then adjust the vertical size to 1080 pixels and the
horizontal size will automatically reduce to below 1920 pixels if you have ticked the
“Resample Image” box.
5. When resizing a vertical impage (Portrait) enter 1080 pixels in the Height Box. The value in
the Width Box will change automatically to match the original image if you have ticked the
“Resample Image” box.
6. The maximum image data file size is 1,500Kilobytes in the JPEG format. Note that if a border
is added to the image, this must be added before resizing and reducing the file size to a
maximum of 1,500 Kilobytes to ensure that the image remains within the specified 1,500Kb.
7. It is recommended that the image be displayed in the sRGB Colour Profile. This can be
selected in the camera or changed in Photoshop under Edit/Convert to Profile.

HUMOUR / INTEREST
Jim stood over his tee shot on the 450 yard 18th hole for what seemed an eternity.
He waggled, looked up, looked down, waggled again, but didn't even start his back swing.
Finally his exasperated partner asked, 'What the hell is taking you so long?'
'My wife is watching me from the clubhouse balcony, ' Jim
explained. 'I want to play a perfect shot.'
His companion said, 'Come off it ! You don't have a snowball's chance in
hell of hitting her from here.'
