Guidelines for creating a .jpg of your art work
- Take a photo of your painting before you frame/glaze it.
- Use photo software to crop your photo (if necessary) and resize it. You are aiming for a fairly low resolution .jpg image, with a size of around 100KB, and an absolute maximum of 120KB.
- Rename the .jpg so that the filename is the title of your painting. Please use the following convention:
- Capitalise the first letter of every word in the title – this includes words such as The, A, In etc
- Delete all spaces from the title
- Delete any special characters eg ‘ or –
Example filenames: HarbourView.jpg, ASunnyDayInEpsom.jpg
- Save the file.
- Attach the .jpg to an email and send it to the website editor. If you have several images, zip them up into a folder and then attach the compressed folder to the email rather than the individual images.
Notes:
To change the file name, select the .jpg, right click then select Rename from the drop-down menu, and then type your new file name.
To zip files up into a compressed folder, select the relevant files, right click then select “Send to” / “Compressed (zipped) folder”.
There are numerous software packages available to enable you to crop/resize your pictures. For example, you can download PhotoRazor (Windows) for free: photorazor.en.uptodown.com.
Please contact the website editor for any help or advice.

ZOOM Meetings (based on notes kindly provided by Gabriel Chanan)
- It works best if you download the free version of zoom beforehand – just google ‘zoom’ and follow instructions.
- It works best on a laptop or tablet because you can see the pictures better and it is less tiring, but you can get it on a smartphone.
- You will receive the link before the start time. You simply click on it and then wait to be ‘admitted’.
- The first ten minutes will be for checking how it works and for your announcements.
- Total time will be 90 minutes, with a ten-minute break at half time.
- There will be at least two points where you can ask questions and discuss.
- You can leave at any point (but we hope you will not want to!).
