Simple Guidelines on Submitting Photos to the Print Menorah Newsletter and the
Web-based e-Menorah:
First, please note that these are just guidelines – if you don’t have the time or experience to follow them, you can still send in what you have - because we want your photos!


 If possible, avoid photos created with Web cameras or cell phones – even if they have the resolution, most don’t produce very clear images.


The best size for use in the print and on-line versions of the Menorah is a resolution of roughly 800x600. This would make a decent image on most monitors, and a fairly clean print up to 4 inches by 3 inches. Lower resolution images can look pretty rough when printed or shown at a reasonable size on a monitor. Larger images can be sent in, but they will have to be resized by the editors.


When saving the image select the higher "quality" option, if available. This keeps the maximum detail in the image. If you select something lower, the file size will be a lot smaller but the image can become very blocky and unnatural.


A photo will always loose quality when printed in the Menorah, so a good original (good contrast, good exposure, proper focus, less distracting background/clothing) is important.


If in doubt, send what you have and we’ll work with you.
