Example:
The above photo measures 10cm x 7. Scm @ 300 PPI = 886 pixels (height) x 1181 pixels (width) and is
2.99 MS.
A web image of the same metric size but with a resolution of 72ppi = 213 pixels (height) x 283 pixels
(width) is 176.6 KS.
Make sure you save your image to the resolution required by the recipient of that image. Then, if
sending by email, check your email settings do NOT reduce the image once attached to send .
File-sharing Sites
File sharing is the practice of providing access to digitally stored information, such as audio, images,
video and documents on a server. Two file-sharing sites we use at The Journal of Australian Ceramics
are youSENDit and Dropbox.
You can upload your files to the server and then send a link to the recipient so they can access the
files . This has the dual benefit of large files not clogging up the recipient's mailbox (never a great way
to introduce yourself and your work) while also allowing the storage of files in one site ready for repeat
viewings by different people.
Taking and sending images is a vital part of all artistic endeavours. If you are interested in learning
more, t here are numerous sites that have more in-depth information.
