Here are the basics for creating your Projected Image file We will be setting the file type dimensions color space jpg quality pixels per inch and file name that that will qualify for NCPP Projected Image Comp These requirements are the same as PPA with the exception in NOTE 2 below

1 Create a file that will become the background for your image that is 4000px Wide x 2200px High 200 pixels per inch (20 x 11) This size fits our monitor and will be displayed at its optimal

2 The color space can be sRGB or RGB1998 3 The file type is a jpg with a Quality setting of 10 Total file size not to exceed 35mb 4 You can apply a color or pattern to this layer just as you would do for a printed image that you

would have entered previously in print comp 5 Next prepare the image that you are going to insert over the background The color space ppi

etc needs to be the same as your background layer 6 Size the image as you wish in either a vertical or horizontal format The image size must be at

least 80 square inches An example is 8 x 10 The image may be placed anywhere you want to put it on the background layer The positioning of the image on the background layer will be part of your Presentation score just like with Printed print comp

7 Add a stroke or any other edge treatment to the edge of the image you want or not 8 All images will be shown only with the background in the Horizontal Format This is the same

way that PPA is handling it The monitor will not be rotated for vertical images They will be shown just like the example images on the previous page

9 There is to be no photographer name or studio name on the image 10 Name your file with the following convention

bull Members First Name_Last Name_Image_Title_jpg (Use _ for spaces) bull Example file name Bill_Jones_Mount_Diablo_Sunsetjpg

11 More information for download or viewing at

NOTE 1 If you plan to submit any of these images to PPA I would initially save this file as a layered PSD or TIFF When I was done and ready to submit to NCPP I would then save it again as a jpg with all of the requirements listed above and submit the jpg This way if you later decide to enter this same image with PPA you can open your PSDTIFF and make any changes required for PPA NOTE 2 PPA Projected Submission Specifications match what is required for NCPP except

bull PPA requires your PPA in place of your name in the file name Example 12345_Mount_Diablo_Sunsetjpg bull Link to the PPA site for a video on ldquoHow Tordquo httpwwwppacomcompetitionstutorialsphp

ENTRY RULES AND DEADLINES

bull Cost per each image is $500 prior to the Monday (at midnight) prior to the Tuesday meeting Fee is to be paid via the NCPP PayPal link

bull E-mail images to 2ndvpncpponlineorg Limit of 20 Projected images allowed per meeting This is at the discretion of the Print Chair on a month by month basis

ldquoThe Girlzrdquo This image was captured at the bunkers of Fort Barry in Marin overlooking the Pacific Ocean It was a Photo de Tour Gang (Photo Safari) outing and Lisa Duncan brought along some teens to model for us The bunkers had an area below the gun turret which housed the soldiers that worked there It has been heavily tagged with graffiti for several years and most likely a party place for teens It has since been sealed off so you cannot get into this area now I used a speedlight with an umbrella and radio trigger to get the shot with my Canon 5d Mk2 24-70mm lens at 50mm f32 and an ISO of 640 There are two separate shots combined into the final image and I added burndodging in Photoshop I had in mind what I wanted the final image to look like at the time of the shot so I set up the two shots to get as close as possible to that target

Here are the basics for creating your Projected Image file We will be setting the file type dimensions color space jpg quality pixels per inch and file name that that will qualify for NCPP Projected Image Comp These requirements are the same as PPA with the exception in NOTE 2 below

1 Create a file that will become the background for your image that is 4000px Wide x 2200px High 200 pixels per inch (20 x 11) This size fits our monitor and will be displayed at its optimal

2 The color space can be sRGB or RGB1998 3 The file type is a jpg with a Quality setting of 10 Total file size not to exceed 35mb 4 You can apply a color or pattern to this layer just as you would do for a printed image that you

would have entered previously in print comp 5 Next prepare the image that you are going to insert over the background The color space ppi

etc needs to be the same as your background layer 6 Size the image as you wish in either a vertical or horizontal format The image size must be at

least 80 square inches An example is 8 x 10 The image may be placed anywhere you want to put it on the background layer The positioning of the image on the background layer will be part of your Presentation score just like with Printed print comp

7 Add a stroke or any other edge treatment to the edge of the image you want or not 8 All images will be shown only with the background in the Horizontal Format This is the same

way that PPA is handling it The monitor will not be rotated for vertical images They will be shown just like the example images on the previous page

9 There is to be no photographer name or studio name on the image 10 Name your file with the following convention

bull Members First Name_Last Name_Image_Title_jpg (Use _ for spaces) bull Example file name Bill_Jones_Mount_Diablo_Sunsetjpg

11 More information for download or viewing at

NOTE 1 If you plan to submit any of these images to PPA I would initially save this file as a layered PSD or TIFF When I was done and ready to submit to NCPP I would then save it again as a jpg with all of the requirements listed above and submit the jpg This way if you later decide to enter this same image with PPA you can open your PSDTIFF and make any changes required for PPA NOTE 2 PPA Projected Submission Specifications match what is required for NCPP except

bull PPA requires your PPA in place of your name in the file name Example 12345_Mount_Diablo_Sunsetjpg bull Link to the PPA site for a video on ldquoHow Tordquo httpwwwppacomcompetitionstutorialsphp

ENTRY RULES AND DEADLINES

bull Cost per each image is $500 prior to the Monday (at midnight) prior to the Tuesday meeting Fee is to be paid via the NCPP PayPal link

bull E-mail images to 2ndvpncpponlineorg Limit of 20 Projected images allowed per meeting This is at the discretion of the Print Chair on a month by month basis

ldquoThe Girlzrdquo This image was captured at the bunkers of Fort Barry in Marin overlooking the Pacific Ocean It was a Photo de Tour Gang (Photo Safari) outing and Lisa Duncan brought along some teens to model for us The bunkers had an area below the gun turret which housed the soldiers that worked there It has been heavily tagged with graffiti for several years and most likely a party place for teens It has since been sealed off so you cannot get into this area now I used a speedlight with an umbrella and radio trigger to get the shot with my Canon 5d Mk2 24-70mm lens at 50mm f32 and an ISO of 640 There are two separate shots combined into the final image and I added burndodging in Photoshop I had in mind what I wanted the final image to look like at the time of the shot so I set up the two shots to get as close as possible to that target

Here are the basics for creating your Projected Image file We will be setting the file type dimensions color space jpg quality pixels per inch and file name that that will qualify for NCPP Projected Image Comp These requirements are the same as PPA with the exception in NOTE 2 below

1 Create a file that will become the background for your image that is 4000px Wide x 2200px High 200 pixels per inch (20 x 11) This size fits our monitor and will be displayed at its optimal

2 The color space can be sRGB or RGB1998 3 The file type is a jpg with a Quality setting of 10 Total file size not to exceed 35mb 4 You can apply a color or pattern to this layer just as you would do for a printed image that you

would have entered previously in print comp 5 Next prepare the image that you are going to insert over the background The color space ppi

etc needs to be the same as your background layer 6 Size the image as you wish in either a vertical or horizontal format The image size must be at

least 80 square inches An example is 8 x 10 The image may be placed anywhere you want to put it on the background layer The positioning of the image on the background layer will be part of your Presentation score just like with Printed print comp

7 Add a stroke or any other edge treatment to the edge of the image you want or not 8 All images will be shown only with the background in the Horizontal Format This is the same

way that PPA is handling it The monitor will not be rotated for vertical images They will be shown just like the example images on the previous page

9 There is to be no photographer name or studio name on the image 10 Name your file with the following convention

bull Members First Name_Last Name_Image_Title_jpg (Use _ for spaces) bull Example file name Bill_Jones_Mount_Diablo_Sunsetjpg

11 More information for download or viewing at

NOTE 1 If you plan to submit any of these images to PPA I would initially save this file as a layered PSD or TIFF When I was done and ready to submit to NCPP I would then save it again as a jpg with all of the requirements listed above and submit the jpg This way if you later decide to enter this same image with PPA you can open your PSDTIFF and make any changes required for PPA NOTE 2 PPA Projected Submission Specifications match what is required for NCPP except

bull PPA requires your PPA in place of your name in the file name Example 12345_Mount_Diablo_Sunsetjpg bull Link to the PPA site for a video on ldquoHow Tordquo httpwwwppacomcompetitionstutorialsphp

ldquoThe Girlzrdquo This image was captured at the bunkers of Fort Barry in Marin overlooking the Pacific Ocean It was a Photo de Tour Gang (Photo Safari) outing and Lisa Duncan brought along some teens to model for us The bunkers had an area below the gun turret which housed the soldiers that worked there It has been heavily tagged with graffiti for several years and most likely a party place for teens It has since been sealed off so you cannot get into this area now I used a speedlight with an umbrella and radio trigger to get the shot with my Canon 5d Mk2 24-70mm lens at 50mm f32 and an ISO of 640 There are two separate shots combined into the final image and I added burndodging in Photoshop I had in mind what I wanted the final image to look like at the time of the shot so I set up the two shots to get as close as possible to that target

Preparing your image for Projected Image Comp This article will remain permanently in the Focal Point

Here are the basics for creating your Projected Image file We will be setting the file type dimensions color space jpg quality pixels per inch and file name that that will qualify for NCPP Projected Image Comp These requirements are the same as PPA with the exception in NOTE 2 below

1 Create a file that will become the background for your image that is 4000px Wide x 2200px High 200 pixels per inch (20 x 11) This size fits our monitor and will be displayed at its optimal

2 The color space can be sRGB or RGB1998 3 The file type is a jpg with a Quality setting of 10 Total file size not to exceed 35mb 4 You can apply a color or pattern to this layer just as you would do for a printed image that you

would have entered previously in print comp 5 Next prepare the image that you are going to insert over the background The color space ppi

etc needs to be the same as your background layer 6 Size the image as you wish in either a vertical or horizontal format The image size must be at

least 80 square inches An example is 8 x 10 The image may be placed anywhere you want to put it on the background layer The positioning of the image on the background layer will be part of your Presentation score just like with Printed print comp

7 Add a stroke or any other edge treatment to the edge of the image you want or not 8 All images will be shown only with the background in the Horizontal Format This is the same

way that PPA is handling it The monitor will not be rotated for vertical images They will be shown just like the example images on the previous page

9 There is to be no photographer name or studio name on the image 10 Name your file with the following convention

bull Members First Name_Last Name_Image_Title_jpg (Use _ for spaces) bull Example file name Bill_Jones_Mount_Diablo_Sunsetjpg

11 More information for download or viewing at

NOTE 1 If you plan to submit any of these images to PPA I would initially save this file as a layered PSD or TIFF When I was done and ready to submit to NCPP I would then save it again as a jpg with all of the requirements listed above and submit the jpg This way if you later decide to enter this same image with PPA you can open your PSDTIFF and make any changes required for PPA NOTE 2 PPA Projected Submission Specifications match what is required for NCPP except

bull PPA requires your PPA in place of your name in the file name Example 12345_Mount_Diablo_Sunsetjpg bull Link to the PPA site for a video on ldquoHow Tordquo httpwwwppacomcompetitionstutorialsphp

ENTRY RULES AND DEADLINES

bull Cost per each image is $500 prior to the Monday (at midnight) prior to the Tuesday meeting Fee is to be paid via the NCPP PayPal link

bull E-mail images to 2ndvpncpponlineorg Limit of 20 Projected images allowed per meeting This is at the discretion of the Print Chair on a month by month basis

ldquoThe Girlzrdquo This image was captured at the bunkers of Fort Barry in Marin overlooking the Pacific Ocean It was a Photo de Tour Gang (Photo Safari) outing and Lisa Duncan brought along some teens to model for us The bunkers had an area below the gun turret which housed the soldiers that worked there It has been heavily tagged with graffiti for several years and most likely a party place for teens It has since been sealed off so you cannot get into this area now I used a speedlight with an umbrella and radio trigger to get the shot with my Canon 5d Mk2 24-70mm lens at 50mm f32 and an ISO of 640 There are two separate shots combined into the final image and I added burndodging in Photoshop I had in mind what I wanted the final image to look like at the time of the shot so I set up the two shots to get as close as possible to that target

Preparing your image for Projected Image Comp This article will remain permanently in the Focal Point

Here are the basics for creating your Projected Image file We will be setting the file type dimensions color space jpg quality pixels per inch and file name that that will qualify for NCPP Projected Image Comp These requirements are the same as PPA with the exception in NOTE 2 below

1 Create a file that will become the background for your image that is 4000px Wide x 2200px High 200 pixels per inch (20 x 11) This size fits our monitor and will be displayed at its optimal

2 The color space can be sRGB or RGB1998 3 The file type is a jpg with a Quality setting of 10 Total file size not to exceed 35mb 4 You can apply a color or pattern to this layer just as you would do for a printed image that you

would have entered previously in print comp 5 Next prepare the image that you are going to insert over the background The color space ppi

etc needs to be the same as your background layer 6 Size the image as you wish in either a vertical or horizontal format The image size must be at

least 80 square inches An example is 8 x 10 The image may be placed anywhere you want to put it on the background layer The positioning of the image on the background layer will be part of your Presentation score just like with Printed print comp

7 Add a stroke or any other edge treatment to the edge of the image you want or not 8 All images will be shown only with the background in the Horizontal Format This is the same

way that PPA is handling it The monitor will not be rotated for vertical images They will be shown just like the example images on the previous page

9 There is to be no photographer name or studio name on the image 10 Name your file with the following convention

bull Members First Name_Last Name_Image_Title_jpg (Use _ for spaces) bull Example file name Bill_Jones_Mount_Diablo_Sunsetjpg

11 More information for download or viewing at

NOTE 1 If you plan to submit any of these images to PPA I would initially save this file as a layered PSD or TIFF When I was done and ready to submit to NCPP I would then save it again as a jpg with all of the requirements listed above and submit the jpg This way if you later decide to enter this same image with PPA you can open your PSDTIFF and make any changes required for PPA NOTE 2 PPA Projected Submission Specifications match what is required for NCPP except

bull PPA requires your PPA in place of your name in the file name Example 12345_Mount_Diablo_Sunsetjpg bull Link to the PPA site for a video on ldquoHow Tordquo httpwwwppacomcompetitionstutorialsphp

ENTRY RULES AND DEADLINES

bull Cost per each image is $500 prior to the Monday (at midnight) prior to the Tuesday meeting Fee is to be paid via the NCPP PayPal link

bull E-mail images to 2ndvpncpponlineorg Limit of 20 Projected images allowed per meeting This is at the discretion of the Print Chair on a month by month basis

ldquoThe Girlzrdquo This image was captured at the bunkers of Fort Barry in Marin overlooking the Pacific Ocean It was a Photo de Tour Gang (Photo Safari) outing and Lisa Duncan brought along some teens to model for us The bunkers had an area below the gun turret which housed the soldiers that worked there It has been heavily tagged with graffiti for several years and most likely a party place for teens It has since been sealed off so you cannot get into this area now I used a speedlight with an umbrella and radio trigger to get the shot with my Canon 5d Mk2 24-70mm lens at 50mm f32 and an ISO of 640 There are two separate shots combined into the final image and I added burndodging in Photoshop I had in mind what I wanted the final image to look like at the time of the shot so I set up the two shots to get as close as possible to that target

Here are the basics for creating your Projected Image file We will be setting the file type dimensions color space jpg quality pixels per inch and file name that that will qualify for NCPP Projected Image Comp These requirements are the same as PPA with the exception in NOTE 2 below

1 Create a file that will become the background for your image that is 4000px Wide x 2200px High 200 pixels per inch (20 x 11) This size fits our monitor and will be displayed at its optimal

2 The color space can be sRGB or RGB1998 3 The file type is a jpg with a Quality setting of 10 Total file size not to exceed 35mb 4 You can apply a color or pattern to this layer just as you would do for a printed image that you

would have entered previously in print comp 5 Next prepare the image that you are going to insert over the background The color space ppi

etc needs to be the same as your background layer 6 Size the image as you wish in either a vertical or horizontal format The image size must be at

least 80 square inches An example is 8 x 10 The image may be placed anywhere you want to put it on the background layer The positioning of the image on the background layer will be part of your Presentation score just like with Printed print comp

7 Add a stroke or any other edge treatment to the edge of the image you want or not 8 All images will be shown only with the background in the Horizontal Format This is the same

way that PPA is handling it The monitor will not be rotated for vertical images They will be shown just like the example images on the previous page

9 There is to be no photographer name or studio name on the image 10 Name your file with the following convention

bull Members First Name_Last Name_Image_Title_jpg (Use _ for spaces) bull Example file name Bill_Jones_Mount_Diablo_Sunsetjpg

11 More information for download or viewing at

NOTE 1 If you plan to submit any of these images to PPA I would initially save this file as a layered PSD or TIFF When I was done and ready to submit to NCPP I would then save it again as a jpg with all of the requirements listed above and submit the jpg This way if you later decide to enter this same image with PPA you can open your PSDTIFF and make any changes required for PPA NOTE 2 PPA Projected Submission Specifications match what is required for NCPP except

bull PPA requires your PPA in place of your name in the file name Example 12345_Mount_Diablo_Sunsetjpg bull Link to the PPA site for a video on ldquoHow Tordquo httpwwwppacomcompetitionstutorialsphp

ENTRY RULES AND DEADLINES

bull Cost per each image is $500 prior to the Monday (at midnight) prior to the Tuesday meeting Fee is to be paid via the NCPP PayPal link

bull E-mail images to 2ndvpncpponlineorg Limit of 20 Projected images allowed per meeting This is at the discretion of the Print Chair on a month by month basis

ldquoThe Girlzrdquo This image was captured at the bunkers of Fort Barry in Marin overlooking the Pacific Ocean It was a Photo de Tour Gang (Photo Safari) outing and Lisa Duncan brought along some teens to model for us The bunkers had an area below the gun turret which housed the soldiers that worked there It has been heavily tagged with graffiti for several years and most likely a party place for teens It has since been sealed off so you cannot get into this area now I used a speedlight with an umbrella and radio trigger to get the shot with my Canon 5d Mk2 24-70mm lens at 50mm f32 and an ISO of 640 There are two separate shots combined into the final image and I added burndodging in Photoshop I had in mind what I wanted the final image to look like at the time of the shot so I set up the two shots to get as close as possible to that target

ldquoThe Girlzrdquo This image was captured at the bunkers of Fort Barry in Marin overlooking the Pacific Ocean It was a Photo de Tour Gang (Photo Safari) outing and Lisa Duncan brought along some teens to model for us The bunkers had an area below the gun turret which housed the soldiers that worked there It has been heavily tagged with graffiti for several years and most likely a party place for teens It has since been sealed off so you cannot get into this area now I used a speedlight with an umbrella and radio trigger to get the shot with my Canon 5d Mk2 24-70mm lens at 50mm f32 and an ISO of 640 There are two separate shots combined into the final image and I added burndodging in Photoshop I had in mind what I wanted the final image to look like at the time of the shot so I set up the two shots to get as close as possible to that target
