Title: Model release
Post by: Fletch on September 12, 2013, 07:36

Hi, I started submitting to various site at the start of the year so fairly new. Had some success with Alamy, Fotolia, Istock and Shutterstock. All of my images have been without people but I now wish to submit model releases. I have a generic form in word and thought this would be best so as to edit for each shoot. However I now relise these have to be submitted in JPEG.
1. Can anyone suggest a way to convert word doc to JPEG?
2. Or do I have to print and scan each release (a lot of time and paper!)

Or if anyone can suggest a more efficient way to streamline the model release forms submissions I'd be gratfull.

Regards

Fletch

aren't your models signing it on paper? scanning it takes what? 30 seconds?

there is one app that you can do it digitally but I don't remember the name

Open Office will convert a document into a PDF. Open the PDF and do a screen capture.

Or just open the Word Perfect document and do a screen capture. It's built into Windows software. Mac might be Print Screen, but you have to have the entire document on the screen to capture.

Free For Windows:  http://download.cnet.com/MWSnap/3000-2072_4-10524229.html (http://download.cnet.com/MWSnap/3000-2072_4-10524229.html)  Will capture whatever you surround or whole screen. SAVE by clicking on the little disc icon. Done!

Optional, Screen Capture, do a Copy Control+C, and open any image software, and use Control+V for Paste. Save As (name) You now have a JPG.

Does that do it for you? Or do you want more ways?

You didn't say what OS or what kind of computer.
