Here is the repost to Steve Paulson's guide to Digital slides and making slides from digital files.
SLIDES FROM DIGITAL FILES
Members who would like to compete in slide competition using their digital files can have those files converted to film slide by Larry Crabb. To have this done the files must be made to conform to specific sizes. I shall attempt to provide this info below.
2x2 Slides 1. The finished file must measure 2732 pixels by 4096 pixels and be saved in TIFF format.
2. Full frame slides may be created by opening the image in Photoshop and go to Image>Size and then changing the pixel count to the numbers above. You may have to un-check the maintain aspect ratio or proportion setting.
3. If the slide is to be cropped in any manner set one of the dimensions to either of the two dimensions above and then use the Image>Size>Canvas size to increase the remaining dimension to the required size. The background color should be black when doing this in order to obtain an opaque area outside the image area.
4. To finish your slide be sure the long dimension lays across the screen just as it would in a camera. Even if it is a vertical it needs to be turned for the film recorder to capture the entire image. Prior to saving do “Flatten Layer” if you have used layers to create the image. Us “Save As” what ever you wish to name the image and save it as a TIFF file. Burn to CD for Larry.
2-1/4 Slides1. The finish file must be 6087 pixels x 6087 pixels and saved in TIFF format.
2. Normal digital camera images will require some cropping to make them square, but you can make full frame images as well by setting one dimension ( use method above) to 6087 pixels and then use the Canvas Size to fill in the remaining area to 6087 pixels.
3. Prior to saving do “Flatten Layer” if you have used layers to create the image. Use “Save As” whatever you wish to name your image and save as a TIFF format and then burn to CD for Larry.
NOTE: Larry plans to create the slides in November, so please have your CD’s to him by the last meeting in October.
DIGITAL PICTORAL, NATURE & CONTEMPORARY SLIDES FOR N4C
SLIDE SIZE: The digital slides need to measure 1024 pixels in their longest dimension. A full frame slide will usually measure about 688 pixels on the short dimension. This is easily done in Photoshop or other imaging processing softwareby opening the image and performing Image> Size and changing the pixel count on the long dimension at the top of the box. Use “Save As” to save your digital image with its name ( I’ll cover this next) as a JPEG file with a 10 level of compression.
SLIDE NAMING: Name your slide as follows;
A. Pictorial Slides 01,SE000(your member number),DP,Name_of_Image.jpg
Pictorial Example: 01,SE030,DP,Hillary_and_Bill.jpg
B. NatureSlides 01,SE000(your member number),DN,Name_of_Image.jpg
Nature Example: 01,SE030,DN,Spearfish_Falls_in_ Rain
C. Contemporary Slides 01,SE000(your member number),CN.Name of Image.jpg
Contemporary Eaxmple:01.SE030.CN.Wild_Wind_Action
D. NOTE: NO BLANK SPACES IN THE ENTIRE FILE NAME!
Digital Slides are now being used for club points accumulation and we as members of SCCC need to provide monthly entries in this category. We are allowed as a club to enter a total of 8 pictoral and 8 nature slide in monthly competion. One image per maker in each category. Please email you slides to me by the 13th of the month at F64JEE@aol.com - If you wish you can give me a CD with several images (full resolution OK) with names
And your ID number and I will convert them this next year.
Thanks Steve Paulson
