Photo and Scanning Guidelines
By providing digital pictures and scans of your class yearbook and reunion, your committee will save time and money!
Here are our photo scanning and editing guidelines:
Please scan at a 300 dpi or higher resolution. Anything less and your photos may print out pixilated or "fuzzy".
When saving yearbook scans, please label them with the corresponding yearbook page and number, and a letter indicating which photo. For example, label a scan of page 20: YB20B or something similar.
Before scanning your black and white photos, please change the MODE to grayscale 8-bit (not 16-bit) within your photo format software before you scan. Don't scan as COLOR, as the files will need to be reformatted to grayscale, adding a step to the entire process.
Scan color photos in CMYK (not RGB) mode. This ensures better printing results!
While scanning your senior portraits, please label them with the person's name. For example, John Smith would become smith.john.jpg.
Please save all scans in the TIFF or JPEG format and select the high quality image choice. Keep resolution at 300 dpi or higher.
We recommend saving your files in various file folders such as: "Portraits," "School Photos," etc., before burning to CDRom or DVDrom for ease of locating all photos.
REMEMBER: We will need your senior portraits scanned and submitted two weeks prior to the reunion date in order to create photo name tags.
If you have any qestions about scanning or editing photos, please don't hesitate to ask!
