The club will begin accepting digital images in place of color prints beginning with our February meeting. Here are the instructions for cropping images to maximize the display area of our club's digital projector. The club projector has a maximum screen width of 1024 x 768 pixels.
After opening up your image in Photoshop and performing whatever corrections are needed, select the cropping tool ("C").
Set the width to "10.24 in" and the height to "7.68 in". Leave the "Resolution" box blank.
After cropping your image you'll want to save it to JPG format. I use the "Save to web" feature, "Shift+Alt+Ctrl+S".
You can also select this feature from the "File" menu.
Once the "Save to Web" panel comes up you will want to choose the following settings:
First change the dimensions in the "New Size" box to a width of "1024". If the "Constrain Porportions" box is checked, the "Height" box will automatically change to "768". Click the "Apply" button
Next you will want to set the JPG quality to "Maximum". Make sure that your "ICC Profile" box is checked. This will save your JPG as an SRGB file.
Hit "Enter" and save the image as a 1024 x 768 JPG under whatever name you like. Your image is now ready to take full advantage of our projector's display.
Once you have finished cropping your image you can email it to: dan.smith.ky@gmail.com
