It is important to have a larger image before converting rather than a smaller one.

e.g: Tom Smith_Red Bus.tif
Note that the titling method may change according to the requirements of the Southern Federation rules. Any changes will be posted on this site
NOTE: You will be required to produce another set of the same images using the same method as above but this time resize to 1024 pixels (landscape) or 768 (portrait).( If a square image is used the vertical sides must not be more than 768 pixels). Then put both sets onto a cd (or flash drive) and hand to the Competition Sec. (Make two folders and label one '1400 images' and the other '1024 images' and place the appropriate images in the said folder.)
