Photographs - Digital Images
We can use black and white or colour prints or digital images.
Prints — The easiest and cheapest to use and process are colour prints. The normal 150 by 100 mm (6 x 4 inch) print size is satisfactory for most work — although an enlargement is usually required for the cover, or for a large body page image. If an enlargement is required, please supply the standard size photo with its negative and AME will arrange the enlargement.
Please enclose captions with your photographs. Do not write on the back of the photo: the markings can show through and spoil it, or worse, the ink could bleed through to the surface of the photo. We prefer you to write the photo number and caption on a sticky label and attach the label to the back of the photo. Then separate each photo with a piece of plain paper.
When mailing photographs, remember to sandwich them between stiff cardboard pieces, to protect them from damage.
Digital images — these need to be sent in on disk, usually a CD or DVD. If the image files are small enough to email they are generally not suitable for publication to AME’s standards. Take your images at the highest resolution and/or the largest dimensions possible and you will usually be OK. In short, we need to be able to import them into the magazine at the published size with a minimum resolution of around 350 dots per inch. (for e.g. 6 x 4 = 2100 x 1400 pixels). Preferred format is either TIFF or .JPG (.JPEG) files.
