You ought to be in pictures! We're always looking for new pictures for upcoming calendars or newsletters, or possibly even the Web. If you have a picture you are interested in submitting, contact webmaster@neocr.org and put "Collie Photos" in the subject line.

While lower quality (72 dots per inch or DPI) photos are often acceptable for the Web, higher quality (250-300 DPI) photos are needed for print. Here are a few tips...

Digital cameras take pictures in pixels per inch or PPI. Set your camera's PPI to the highest setting below the "raw" image option.
Traditional 35 mm photo film can be developed and saved on a CD by your local merchant, also in PPI format.
If scanning a photo hardcopy, set your scanner's resolution to 300 DPI.
If you are not the original photographer, be sure you have secured reprint copyright permission from the original photographer.
Need help translating PPI into DPI? In your photo editing program, divide your picture's PPI dimensions by 300 to determine your picture's optimal print size in inches.
