This is a great place for manufacturers to place an ad on their
product reviews.
| The information contained
on this web site is the sole responsibility of the writer. It is the writer''s responsibility to give credit to manufacturers and
give an honest evaluation of products mentioned. Most
manufacturers approve of positive comments on their products.
If you must be less than complimentary, we suggest you be
generic on the product so as not to indicate a particular
manufacturer. Very negative comments are not wanted here. We will
remove any article that we feel is not in the best interests
of a manufacturer or product. This is not a forum to
discuss the pros and cons of a product.
We will remove any article
that a manufacturer of that product feels is not in their best
interest after being notified by email that they wish to have
the article removed and reason. We will verify that the email
is from the manufacturer. All articles are displayed on this
web as is. We accept no responsibility for the contents of the

Payment
You can write
an article to help others for free but if you want payment
there are some requirements. Like for a magazine there
is no guarantee of the payment. If you wish, you can
get approval, then post the article. We will then decide on
the merit and if it does not meet our requirements, you can
remove the article. You have control of your article until
paid. After payment you still have control but cannot remove
it and we can make modifications. One payment/credit per
individual, however this requirement may be partially waived
for multiple articles based on quantity, quality and interest
level. Credit is for future purchases, not cash for already
purchased backdrops.

by email so we can review and approve the topic. |

must be about as long as our samples in backdrop and have at
least 20 good photos (100kb max size) that are referenced in the article and
are numbered (fig.1 etc) on each photo with photo text.

without paragraph spacers. |

About images:
There are three settings for jpg images. All 3 are
independently adjustable.
| 1) Physical size in pixels or inches |
| For this site around or about
900 p wide x 600 p high is good |
| |
| 2) Resolution in pixels per inch ppi |
| 72 ppi is standard for the
web |
| |
| 3) Compression |
| Use high compression or low
quality |
We recommend an image aspect of about 900 pix wide x 600 pix
high at 72 ppi, jpeg only which means the extension MUST be
.jpg not .jpeg or .gif or .bmp .
Try to make your photos close to this aspect otherwise they will
be smaller and not fill the available space. It only takes a
few seconds to adjust the size. Also try to
get clear, well lighted photos. No advertisements or
promotions allowed. We can remove photos that are other
than your layout or promote a product.
To get good depth-of-field and sharp image, you need plenty of
even lighting, a high f-stop (f16, f22) and a tripod.
An optimum size to load is 900 pix wide x 600 pix high x 72 ppi (74kb)
low quality setting on jpg
check this .
Recommended file sizes are 40 - 80kb, maximum size 100kb.
For larger expanded images follow the procedure below
(for web servers only)
| 1) On your server, copy all the images to be uploaded
to a different temporary folder. |
| 2) Using whatever software you have to compress the
jpg image, make images under the 100kb limit at the
approximate aspect of 900p x 600p. |
| 3) From our manager''s desk, upload all your photos |
| 4) Copy the original jpg photos that are over 100kb
from the temporary folder to the folder just uploaded,
overwriting all the smaller images. The file names
and folder must remain unchanged. |
| 5) Any updates will require the same procedure.
|
|
Crop images that are high and narrow or of a much different
aspect.
Most digital cameras come with photo manipulation packages.
Your operating system may have the necessary Photo program.
Be sure to save the new photo as a new name. Don''t
overwrite the original, you can''t get it back.
Also jpg is a lossy format. Always start from the original.
Each copy loses detail.
On file names - do not use special characters (&%$#@), only
_
underscore is useable. Do not use spaces. The computer
cannot handle space and will change to %20. Do not use .jpeg
Good examples: myphoto.jpg
my_photo.jpg more_my_photos.jpg
Bad examples; my photo.jpg
myphoto&more.jpg myphoto.jpeg
my(photo).jpg
