Image size

The size of image that can be projected is a maximum width of 1400 by a maximum height of 1050 pixels (native SXGA+).

To ensure that your digital images meet requirements, please follow these directions:

• Set your working space to the sRGB standard. (This is the colour gamut that is specific to viewing on monitors and for projection to screen). Images NOT in the sRGB colour space will need to be resubmitted.
• Be sure your monitor is calibrated. We will not make colour corrections or other adjustments to the submitted digital files.
• For your digital image, set the size of your edited image as the last step. If using Photoshop, go to Image>image size > resize. Ensure that both the constrain proportions and resample boxes are checked. 
  1. For a horizontal image, set pixels dimensions to a maximum width of 1400. Do not adjust the height as it will adjust automatically. 
  2. For a vertical or square image, set pixels dimensions to a maximum height of 1050. Do not adjust the width as it will adjust automatically.
  3. Click O (Do not be concerned about document size, resolution, or file size. Leave this information as is.)

• Now you can sharpen your image suitably for digital projection. Do not over-sharpen.
• Finally, save the file as a high resolution (12) JPEG (.jpg) file. Do not save as jpg files during editing as image quality will be lost. Save as a jpg file once and only after all changes have been made.
