About image settings
Images submitted to the Digest need not conform to all of the "ideal settings" with the possible exception of the maximum file size. However, conformation to these settings will speed up the submission process. Any image file type can be submitted, including .pdf, .gif and .doc files. When using images embedded in a .doc file, remove the image from the file and attach it as a separate file. (For Example: Copy the image in the .doc file and paste it into an image editing application such as Paint, then save the image to your Desktop as a .jpg file).
How to select an image for the Digest
Images should reflect the message that is being sent. However, they need not be of the depicted event. Ideally, images are in full-color and are aesthetically pleasing. Try looking through past issues of the Digest to determine which images are most aesthetically pleasing. Submit images that invoke a similar feeling.
Here are some tips for image selection:
