Hi Everyone,
Lately we've been having a lot of issues with photos being either very tall or very shallow. Unfortunately, a few have made it through as the screeners simply don't have the time to check the height of every photo. Please do your part to keep the aspect ratio at either 3:2 or 4:3 max. We prefer 3:2 but realize that for certain shots 4:3 may be a better fit. Any questions, or if you need help calculating what the height should be for a certain width, please don't be afraid to ask. We're here to help. Thanks for your cooperation. -Ray |

Can I check that I have this right?
Using 3:2 and 4:3 as the minimum and maximum aspect ratios... At 1280 pixels width the minimum acceptable height is 853 pixels, maximum 960 pixels At 1152 pixels width the minimum acceptable height is 768 pixels, maximum 864 pixels At 1024 pixels width the minimum acceptable height is 683 pixels, maximum 768 pixels And anything between these would be acceptable? However noted that 3:2 preferred. Thankyou Michael Appears to be thinking... |

Hi Michael,
That is correct on both counts. I personally prefer 1200x800 as I have a rather large screen with high resolution. Anything smaller looks a little too small to me. With monitors getting bigger all the time, I think everyone should try to aim for the larger sizes if possible. -Ray |

What you are saying is, size does matter.

Thanks for the replies...and the very different opinions
 The majority of my film / slide scans have been posted at 1024 x 768 quite simply because that was the best quality I could get on my old film scanner. I could go back and re-scan them all on my new scanner at a larger size with better quality but just don't have the spare time to do it! I can also see the logic of Carl's practice on this. Not sure I could post at 1600 x 1200. My old films / slides would not go to that size and I am still using a six year old plus DSLR with a 6 MB output so that would struggle to maintain quality at that size. Have looked at some of Péter's photos and admit the large size does show them very well. I am going to give 1200 x 800 a try from now on, the advantage being it is very easy to remember that the height of the scan must be between 800 and 900! Michael Appears to be thinking... |

An update went in a couple of hours ago that checks the aspect ratio of photos upon upload. If your photo is too tall or too shallow, a warning will be displayed. The screeners simply don't have the time to check dimensions for every photo. As of today, this will make it easy for them to see the dimensions and reject any offending photos. Please make sure your photos are between 3:2 and 4:3 in aspect ratio.
Like I said, this upgrade just went in, so if you are seeing any issues, please let me know ASAP. Thanks. -Ray |

I forgot to mention that the minimum photo width for landscape photos has been increased from 800px to 1024px.

Just now uploaded my first image since the aspect ratio upgrade. Very nice. Thanks Ray. The site just keeps getting better and better. Bravo Zulu to you.

Really great tool !
I tried to upload a picture with 1200 x 797 pixels. No chance! Your tool works perfect as this whole website does. It's a very good job what you are doing here Ray. I think you spend a lot of your time, to make AIRFIGHTERS more perfect. Thank you very much for that ::2thumbs_grin}  and thank you for creating this database !!!
I wish back the good old times, when a picture was a picture and not only bits and bytes and when the people knew the meaning of the word respect. Respect is a very rare thing in our days… |

would you mind reducing the 1024pix to 1000pix?
Becuase I think a lot of people did upload 1000pix wide before (well, at least I did...) and so I could keep this size in my workflow. Furthermore many internet users still use a 1024pix width screen, and with 1000pi width they do not need to scroll to look at the image with some brders being around. Regards Andreas Regards |

Ok, fair enough, 1000px width is a popular size. 1000x667 is the new minimum.

I'd really appreciate the minimum highth would be 860 in stead of 863 (x1024).
The dimensions of the Nikon DX sensor makes 1024 wide pictures always 860 high. This means I (and all Nikon users) have to crop each and avery picture to make is fit with the minima. Now i have some 860 high pictures in the queue that take long to be screened. They do make it, I noticed, but if the minimum highth is reduced by 3 pixels I'm sure this woould save the photographers (and the screeners) some work. |

Hi Joop,
Actually, you'll be fine. Because of sensor differences, we allow +-3px in height. No need for the extra cropping. -Ray |
