Hi All:
I've been asked to pass the following announcemnt of a new viritual show on
to the group so here it is:
I would like to have work for the next virtual gallery show by Dec 1.
It needs to be ready for the web, as in:
one 1.5 inch high gif, interlaced if possible and under 15K
one 4.5 inch high JPEG, under 30K
We will accept any work from any artist, so if you know of someone who
needs exposure, let me know!
I do have to limit each artist to 3 pieces, so we have room for a lot of
artists.
I would also like a short info statement, either about the artist or the
work, and contact information.
This new show will have an entirely different look, more hi-tech, but we
don't want the site to overpower the work, so it will be low-key, high
tech!
Thanks,
Janet
For more info Janet can be e-mailed at fouts@foggy.com and the current show
can be seen at:http//www.foggy.com/show.html
Hope there will be a big ceramic section next time.

Hi Susan:
I am really as much in the dark as you are about the specifications.
Please ask Janet at fouts@foggy.com for the specifics. The last time I
just sent a photo that was in my computer by attaching it to an e-mail to
Janet and it worked fine. The photo was in my computer because it was
originally posted in the SFPN show and I did a "Save As" of it and I put
it into my clipart file and was then able to send it. I have a Mac.
Hope this helps, but if it doesn't Im sure there are others out there who
can explain it to both of us.
Emily

As we all know, technical terminology of one craft is a foreign language to the
practitioners of another.
Images on the Internet need to conform to the standard formats imposed by the
viewing programs (browsers). Almost all browsers support two common image
formats: graphic interchange fomat (GIF), and Joint Photographic Experts Group
format (JPEG), which was specifically designed for the compression and storage o
photographs. One function that is available in the the latest gif standard (89
format is the ability to provide an "interlaced" image. An interlaced image wi
displayed by transmitting every 4th line of the image and letting the browser
interpolate the rest of the dots while loading the image. In that way, you can
transmission before it is complete, if you already can see that you would not be
interested. (eg: a modern, sculptural teapot when you are looking for a traditio
mingei apprach).
Because most people access the internet at speeds of 28,800 bits per second or
less, it is important to keep the size of images as small as possible to lessen
time required for downloads. For that reason, both gif and jpeg formats provide
the compression of the image data. In general, a photo will compress better in
jpeg format than in a gif, though that is not always the case. Since the site w
asking that image sizes be kept under 30 K for the 4.5 inch jpeg, they are conce
with the time it takes to load an image across the internet.
The smaller image (1.5 inches) will be used as a thumbnail, so that by clicking
the thumbnail, you get to see the larger size (4.5 inches).
Computers do not measure images by "inches". They work with pixels, or dots of
particular color. Part of the image encoding is to specify the number of pixels
inch. Most print application require 300 or 600 pixels per inch. Computer scre
are designed for 72 pixels per inch. An image that is 1.5 inches high at 300 pi
per inch would be over 6 inches high at 72 pixels per inch. If you are preparin
have an image processed, you should also know the pixels/inch specified.
There is a reason why www sites ask for images already prepared for viewing, and
that is cost. I can go to my local photo shop with a photographic print or a s
have it scanned and returned to me on a diskette for about $12.00 per image. As
www site developer, I even charge to take an existing image and convert it to ww
use (change it to gif or jpeg format and rescale the size to use on the screen).
Though the activity is trivial, that would cost about $5.00 worth of my time.
Rather a detailed explanation, but I hope it helps.

hi y'all, joanna here, who has been too shy to introduce herself properly,
and for that i apologize. but to answer the gif (pronounced jiff) and the
jpeg question: you can do (at least on the mac) by performing a 'save as'
or 'save a copy' in photoshop (to your scanned slide or photo) and choose
either of those formats when the little window comes up. the 1.5 inch and
4.5 inch should be self explanatory (that's how tall the file can be), the
15K and 30K refer to the memory requirement for the individual photoshop
documents you create. a very complex photo is going to be much larger than
one that is not so complex.
if you don't have photoshop, find a friend or a pro with one. it's rather
easy (work thru the nervousness, and use a copy of the scanned photo so as
not to fret too much :) and experiment. i can do that part, but my
challenge is to figure out who i want to use to get the slides of my work
in the first place. we are all challenged somewhere along the line.
good luck!
joanna in eugene, where fall has arrived and the leaves and rain are
falling, and i don't mind
