Photos
We love your photos. The adage ‘a picture speaks a thousand words’ is right absolutely right, so keep them coming.
Please send photos straight from your camera or ones which been saved straight to the computer. We have been having one problem with some submitted photos which have been saved to a computer on a ‘Save as’ format which compacts the photo to save on hard drive space. This is done by removing pixels, the photo will still look OK on screen but no longer has enough body to reproduce in news print, even the high quality paper the Star uses.
It is easy to check if your photo is suitable. When you attach the photo the value will be shown. If it is only a few hundred KB , or even less sometimes, it is not suitable. As a rule of thumb a photo has to be about a thousand KB to print up well – good photos can be up to three thousand KB.
