Alamy question...

Hi,

I just registered on Alamy.com... and my images are ''low in MB'' regarding the agency standards. from what i understand they require more MB from a image than is normal for his format and resolution.......   ....!!!

My question is:

how to up size ( in terms of Megabytes ) a 8MP image jpeg format and 5MB size to 20-24MB JPEG format???????

.....or is something that i didn't understand?

Ed:
Alamy acceptes images that are 8 megapixel.  The "megabyte" refers to an uncompressed image (TIFF file).  I submit at minimum 8.2 megapixel.

BaldricksTrousers:
If you open the "image size" dialogue box in photoshop and make sure you have a RGB jpg file, then the "pixel dimensions" number at the top of that box is the number that Alamy is looking for.   It's basically 3x the number of megapixels.

Colette:
What BaldricksTrousers said, but be careful that the modus is 8 bit and not 16!
They accept 6 mp and higher and upsizing not always give acceptable results.

We need:
•   Images from at least a 6 megapixel DSLR or more. See here for: Recommended digital camera list
•   JPEG’s saved at a high quality setting (i.e. Photoshop level 10 or above).
•   Alpha-numeric file names ending in .jpg.
•   RGB files, not single channel greyscale or CMYK.
•   Uncompressed file sizes of more than 24MB. This means you should make your JPEG file from an 8 bit TIFF file that is at least 24MB. If you have a camera that is capable of producing an uncompressed 8 bit file of over 24MB then leave it that size.

Step by step:
-open image in PS (8 or 16 bit) as .tif or .psd file
-prepare the image as you wish
-control to set back the imagemodus to 8 bit
-control image size in Image size dialogue box
-the size is found directly under Image size.(called: Pixel dimensions ....M. That ....M should be 24M or higher)
-upsize when needed (and when quality is good enough to upsize)
-save as .jpg in highest possible quality
