General Requirements: [top]

• Submit at least two images: one of complete car (preferably from 3/4 front view) and one detail(closeup) of application.
• PC compatible images only. Sorry, no MAC or Linux-specific formats at this time.
• No more than 500K total submission if by email.
• Specific size if submitted by email: no less than 500x300 pixels, no larger than 600x400 pixels @ no greater than 300dpi.

Photography Tips: [top]

• Set digital cameras to highest capture setting for best quality image.
• Take pictures during daytime to avoid grainy/gray-ed out backgrounds and/or bright flash points on vehicle.
• Avoid at all costs taking photos under flourescent lights as they can drastically alter color perception.
• Do not send print-outs or photos as we are unable to scan them for you.
• Remember, it is better to adjust images in photo editing software than "in-camera."

Image Editing Tips: [top]

• Be sure to check the pixel dimensions of your image if submitting by email (see above).
• 300dpi is not necessary for web images. Typical resolutions are 72dpi for .jpg and .gif.
• Thumbnails would be appreciated (150x100pixels), but not absolutely necessary.
• Take note that images will turn out much better if pixel dimensions are adjusted *before* setting resolution to 72dpi.
• RGB mode is preferred to CMYK or Index for submissions by email.
