Editing your photos
Follow the tips below and spend a few minutes with your favourite photo-editing program to enhance your picture and your presentation to the world. If you do not have an editing program, we suggest you visit www.tucows.com and search for 'graphics' or 'photos' to find a suitable software package. We regret that we cannot provide technical support for photo editing software. Have you followed the guidelines below but still struggling to find the perfect photo? Why not have a professional photo taken and digitized? Many photographic stores offer a professional service and will supply with a digital photo on disk or via email.

Technical requirements
Your photo must either be in JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF or PCX format. JPEG is our preferred format. All your photos must be not more than 6 Mb, but there is no restriction on the dimensions of the images you upload. We will automatically resize them if they are too large. |
Choose your photos carefully
1. Is the image of you clear? Does it do you justice and show you off at your best? A small clear picture is far better than a large picture with little detail. For your Primary Photo, be sure to have a head and shoulder photo or it may not be approved.

2. Is your photo too small and you are planning to enlarge it? Be careful - the quality can deteriorate remarkably.
|
|
3. Does your photo include other people? Rather consider photos only of yourself.
|
|
4. Does the photo have unnecessary people (the ex girlfriend), items or empty space in it? Try to crop or cut your photo to get rid of these.
