List of Smileys	[quote=antp,5241]The best way to submit pictures is to directly add them yourself on the site. You just need to register on the site and you are ready. You can find few guidelines here below, and basic explanation on that page: http://forum.imcdb.org/forum_topic-5646-36296.html This feature is new, so it is not yet well documented. I'll improve that later. Other solution is to create a topic on this "contributions" section of the forum, with the movie title as topic title. For that, use the "new topic" link on the topic list, or click the following link: http://forum.imcdb.org/forum_newtopic-8.html If possible, it is easier for us if you include the IMCDb link of the movie, or the IMDB link if the movie is not yet on IMCDb. To submit pictures on the forum, use a picture hosting site like www.imageshack.us to upload your pictures, then paste in your message the link called "thumbnail for forums (1)" to make a miniature image appear in your topic. [u]If you do not want to register[/u] on the site or on the forum, you can simply send the files by e-mail. Create a zip file containing your pictures and send it to " contrib @ imcdb.org " It may take some time before e-mail or forum contributions are processed, especially when lots are already waiting. [b]About pictures compression/encoding:[/b] Recommended format is JPEG. If possible, remove black borders and check that aspect ratio is correct (i.e. that height & width are correct so that wheels are round for a car seen from the side). Ratio (width/height) usually have the following values: 1.33 = standard 4:3 picture (TV-show, very old movies, series, ...) 1.66 = some more recent series 1.85 = lots of widescreen movies 2.35 = most recent movies that are made for an even larger screen. Usually on widescreen DVD the picture is stored with a 16/9 ratio: that gives 1.77, which correspond to the picture ratio [u]with[/u] the black borders. So an alternative system is to resize to 1.77 ratio and cut the borders after that. In the case that the picture is ready to use (i.e. no borders & correct ratio) here are the limitations of the site: 720 pixels wide for DVD quality, 640 pixels wide (or below) for lower quality pictures; HD pictures can go up to 960 pixels wide and 498 pixels in height. Size for pictures is limited too, usually a widescreen DVD-quality picture should be around 40-50 KB. Smaller files are around 30-40 KB, and can fall around 15 KB for small VideoCD-size pictures. In most of the image programs, this correspond to 85% quality setting (or 15% compression, depending on the program used). See http://forum.imcdb.org/forum_topic-4522-New_picture_upload_rules__automatic_resize.html for more details about picture sizes. If your pictures do not have the right width/height ratio or still have the black borders and that you can't correct that, then it is better to not compress it too much, so there will not be too much quality loose when we process it. If you do not have a program to resize/compress pictures, I recommend to get [url=http://www.xnview.com]XnView[/url]. If you are unsure of which setting to use and if your pictures are correct, do not hesitate to post a test pic so we can give you info for the next ones. ******************************************************************* [b]Small XnView tutorial made previously on another topic[/b] [/quote]
