Titling images
If sending images by email name your images as follows:
01 title (for the first image you want shown), 02 title (for the second) e.g. 01 Opera Singer
If handing your images to the projectionist on a disk, please create a folder named with your name and put your images, titled as above, in that.
Please ensure you flatten your images if you use layers and remove extra Channels if you use Alpha Channels. Also please ensure you save your images as 8-bit.
Go to Image - Mode - 8 bits/Channel
Failure to follow the above instructions will stop the software used for competitions from working. Therefore your images will be excluded from the competition.
If you have any queries, please ask Martin Beddoes.
