August 2014 Picture of the Month - Reminder

The August POTM is open! Summer is nearly gone , time to get a few great shots in before it's over!

POTM submissions are due Monday August 25 at 9PM Pacific Time. Note: you can submit at any time using these instructions and the submission will be entered in the next open POTM.


Reminder: The forum software is pretty picky about photo type, size, and other things. That means there are some rules to follow, but they're not really that hard. Basically, use JPG, and 1024x768 dimensions. Larger than that, or other formats, the forum software will not post the photo.

Photo Submission Requirements
  • Send photos via email to zpostpotm at gmail dot com.
  • Please tell me your user name so I can credit the photo: User name, Year / Engine / and Color
  • Picture dimensions can be max of 1024x768 (filesize of up to 900kb using JPG). Pictures can use smaller edge sizes, this is simply the maximum size.
  • JPG format only (not JPEG) only. The Forum software does not support large filesizes for JPEG, and compresses data, which reduces quality. This means that the file extension should show as .jpg.
  • One picture only
  • Only photos that have not been submitted before (no previously submitted photos).
  • If you won last month you're not eligible to enter this month so others have a chance.

Picture Editing Resources (thanks to SgtGigglebox)

PicMonkey.com
- Free Web-Based Photo editor. Provides access to simple adjustments (crop, exposure, resizing, etc.) as well an array of filters. No accounts necessary, beginner friendly.

Gimp
- Free Program for Windows, Linux & OSX offering a wide variety of capabilities.

Windows Photo Gallery -
- Free photo editing application made by Microsoft, providing editing, organizing and social capabilities.

Picasa
- Free photo editing application made by Google, providing editing, organizing and social capabilities.

As always, follow good practices and make sure you know to confirm that the download is virus and spyware free (run a scan before installing and when downloading).

FAQ

1) Can we photoshop pictures?
Yes but anything so drastic where the photo just looks unrealistic isn't what this thing is about. Either way, the way I see it is that members will vote based on what they think really captures the essence of the car.

2) Can we submit multiple photos per entry?
No, only one picture per month. Participation in multiple months is encouraged!
