Can someone explain how I check that my photo meets all of these things?

• Width: Large photos are preferred. Entries must be at least 1000 pixels wide.
• Ratio: [smaller side / larger side]
• Minimum Ratio: >= .56

 

[JacksJill]

Most photo viewing applications have an inspection mode that will tell you the image size in pixels.
Like this from preview.

 

[Brad]

When viewing a photo in the media gallery you can also see the dimensions listed in the Image Metadata section. You'll see that in the right column or below the photo depending on the size of your display. We really need to automate this so members will know when they upload a contest photo.

 

[Gingero]

I *think* my photo is the right size this time. Fingers crossed.
