Saving Images – Updated 2022

Hi All,

As mentioned recently in a Zoom meeting, the competitions no longer have a maximum image dimension restriction as long as the image is under 5MB in Size.

We have updated the instruction on saving images so that you get the best quality image to fit the latest setting.

When you login to MyPhotoClub click on Club Information – go to Photography Training Notes and then you can open up the file.

You may also open the file using the following link:
