question about PP photo archive requirements About This Page:

[Marv]

I have some pics from our Mexican Riviera cruise and would like to submit them to the photo archive. I'm not very good at intrepreting numbers for photos and am wondering if I can't submit my photo to the archieve. When I click on "properties" my pictures say 1600 X 1200, but I don't know if that is pixels. I just have a point and shoot digital and this is the size of all my photos.

This is what requirement says:

Photo Resolution and Formats

Minimum: Your image must be at least 2000 pixels on the photo's longest size. For example, your photo can be 2000 high x 1500 wide or 1300 high x 2000 wide. This is approximately 4 mega pixels. This is very important, because one of the features of the PassPorter Photo Archive is the ability to see the photos at a large size.

Note: If your images are much smaller than 2000 pixels, DON"T SCALE THEM UP! They won't look good. These images are not good candidates for our Photo Archive.

Maximum: Our system will automatically resize your uploaded photo down to 2000 pixels, but you may have difficulties uploading a file that is much larger than this. You're welcome to try to upload larger photos, but if the upload stalls consider reducing the size of your photo first - ideally, your uploaded photo should be under 2 MB. Smaller is better and will allow for faster uploading.

Those numbers would be the pixel size, yours aren't large enough.

Thanks, Bill. That's what I was afraid of.

I'm a bit confused as well since I see pictures already in the archives that are only 1200 x 1600. Are exceptions made in certain circumstances?
