Your entry on the Members Gallery Web Page will include your name, your region, and up to two links of your choice, maybe your email address and your website, or whatever you like—Facebook, Instagram, etc., along with a thumbnail of one of your favorite paintings to showcase your style.
How to Prepare Your Thumbnail Image
- Select your favorite painting. Think about where you would like to select a square from the painting.
- With Preview, Photoshop, Elements, or other photo editing software, use the appropriate tools to select a square from the painting. If you have a Mac, you can use Preview. The built-in photo editor for Windows is called Photo Editor. Select an area of your painting that is representative of your style.
- Crop the selected square.
- Once your image square is selected and cropped, resize it to 800×800 pixels. Then resize it to 72 ppi (pixels per inch). These are the important numbers—do not be alarmed if your image is over 11×11 inches. That is perfectly all right.
- Be sure to save the file as a jpeg and name it Yourlastname_thumbnail.jpg.
- If you need help sizing your image, I will be glad to help. Contact Mark Cobbe at mark.cobbe@icloud.com or 937.825.0633.
