Preparing Your Digital Files

For our exhibits


In the old days of preparing images for entering a juried art show, you had to have a 35mm camera and slide film! It was a tedious job. However, those days are gone.

Today it’s all about digital entries and uploading files. You save the tasks of developing film, postage and mailing, but it has it’s own quirks.

In this video tutorial you’ll be guided on how to edit your digital photos, and get them ready for show entry.
