Dam, not enough time to get things going to enter. Next year I guess.

Can anyone write about some critical experiences on,

1. professional printing from the digital camera

Does it matter to save the image in TIFF or JPEG format to get a more quality of printing. TIFF uses more memory space; does that mean more quality as well when printing?

Are papers, brands or critical procedures important for the quality of the prints?

2. mailing to Japan

How many days earlier should the mail be sent? Would it be more safe to send it through courier or any other special service or the regular service OK?

Would it be necessary to use padded envelops to protect the print and the disc?

Yes TIFF is better, even with high quality JPEG there will be some loss, especially of the low frequency components in the data, you may not notice the difference though. I would say go with TIFF (no compression). The paper used is definitely a component in getting good quality prints. If you want it done painlessly, use Apple's iPhoto program, you can design the layout with text on your computer and they will send you a professionally printed photoalbum/journal within a week.

hi,

do you know if the entries from the IAPC accepted?

dennis · 02-26-2006, 10:17 AM

You can user your entry from the IAPC however I don't think APC will automatically enter you.

standoyo · 02-28-2006, 06:36 AM

no worries, got that covered...

dennis · 02-28-2006, 08:49 AM

They say no repeats or previously published work but how many of the tanks are there from other contests, or from the previous year? I recognize a few.

Oh yeah, the 2005 ADA accpted entries from 2004 AGA and the AGA would automatically submit your entry if you asked them.

If ADA accepts AGA contestants' entries upon request then why ADA still wants a printout of the digital images from the regular submitters?

I am pretty sure that the AGA gets photos printed from the submitted files. I assume those are bulk mailed to ADA along with a disk full of the files.
