I'm entering a contest for a wildlife calendar sponsored by the state wildlife agency. Here's what is specified- jpg photo, landscape, print no smaller than 8-1/2x11, minimum 300 pixels per inch. Here is the photo spec's:

1. jpg, 4.4 MB, 6000x4000.

2. jpg, 3.4 MB, 4608x3456.

Is there anything else you need? Thanks.

"I would go to Explorer File to find the photo, resize 50%, ..."

I don't know what is going on with how you are resizing so I can't advise. But I believe you have PSE? That is where you need to resize your photos, not File Explorer.

Rather than reduce the resolution of your prints, use a file-sharing program like Dropbox, or Microsoft Onedrive. You can post the full image on the site and give them a link to download.

cheers, TREVOR

Got Dropbox somewhere on my laptop. I have used it to send photos to magazines in the past. Trevor, thanks for the reminder.
