Bugle photo standards

Got a photo or photos you want to submit to the Bugle? Here are our quality guidelines:

• We prefer photos to be in JPEG or TIFF format. However, if all that is available is a PNG or PDF, we can work with that.
• Photo size: Photos should be 300ppi or at least large enough in size so that it has an effective reso­lution of at least 300ppi. For example, if “Photo A” is provided at 19” wide x 26” high with a ppi of 72; this will end up at a size of 4.6” wide x 6” high when the resolution is changed to 300. “Photo A” will work at either a 1 or 2 column placement (but not any larger).

If “Photo B” is provided at 2.2” wide x 3” high with a ppi of 96, this will end up at a size of 0.7” wide x 1” high when the resolution is changed to 300. “Photo B” will be too small for even a 1 column placement without running the risk of looking blurry.

• Basically, the larger the photo, the better!
• We often need to crop photos, either in the width, depth or both. When taking a photo, try to keep the main subject as centered as possible.
• Do not compress photos before sending. If a photo is too large to send attached to an email, contact us at editor@parkbugle.org and we’ll work out a way for you to get the photo to us electronically.

Thanks to all who contribute photos either occasionally or regu­larly to the Bugle.
