Create a .jpg image for the website

a. Take a photo of your painting (before framing).
b. Use photo software¹ to crop the image as necessary.
c. Save the image as a low resolution .jpg file. The image size should be in the range 100KB to 120KB.
d. Change² the filename of the .jpg to the title of your painting.  Please use the following convention:
–> Capitalise the first letter of every word
–> Delete all spaces
–> Delete all special characters such as dashes and commas
Example filenames:  HarbourView.jpg,  ASunnyDayInEpsom.jpg, DavidsHouse.jpg

Email your .jpg to our Website Editor (eeagwebsite@gmail.com).
If you can only provide high res images, it may be best to zip³ them up into a folder and then attach the compressed folder to the email, rather than attaching individual images
