Photo formats/sizes

The B.C. Catholic can accept photos in a variety of ways:

• Digitally
  Photos can be e-mailed to bcc@rcav.bc.ca or "burned" onto a CD and mailed to the office. The pictures should be as large as possible (originals are best).
  - Do not use compression to make the file-size smaller
  - Do not shrink the image size to send it by e-mail (contact us)
  - Ideally pictures should be as large (in pixels, inches, etc) as possible
   

• Physically
  Photos can sent to The B.C. Catholic office in prints (glossy or matte) or as film negatives. The B.C. Catholic will scan these digitally for use in the paper.
   

• Scanning
  If you have prints and are thinking of scanning them to send to us digitally, please do not. We would be much happier to scan them here, giving us greater control over DPI, cropping and colour correction for newsprint. Also, many scanners are automated and the end result (though it looks great on your screen) may not be what you hoped for. The best bet is to send us the prints.
