FAQs


The answers to many questions can be found within the club rules. Below are some of the most common ones and their relevent answer.


Images for DPI competitions.

For consistency you must size your images to match that used by the L&CPU who are following sizing adopted by the PAGBt. From March 2017 sizing will be 1600 pixels wide by 1200 pixels high. If your image pixel sizing is less than that required in either direction then the unused area must be filled with black. The L&CPU impose a maximum file size of 2Mb.

You should convert your images to the sRGB colour space and save them as JPG. Images in the wrong colour space may be rejected. 

All entries are now submitted with the Photoentry portal. Login details will be supplied to those members requiring it. Entries cannot be submitted via email expect with express prior consent from the competition secretary.


Images For Print Competitions.

All prints for internal competitions are allowed up to a maximum size of A4 unless otherwise specified. Prints must not be mounted.

The size for DPI's for external competitions is usually the same as for our internal competitions but can vary. Prints are usually on mount board 40cm by 50cm. For the required size it is always best to refer to the rules for the competition in question.

Prints For The Annual Exhibition.

Prints for the annual exhibition are displayed mounted on board sized to 50 by 40 cm (note that the L&CPU now reject images mounted to the nearest equivalnet in inches) and the print therein should be no smaller than 80 square inches (516 square cm). Mount board may be able to be purchased from the society. In recent years this has been white.
