3. Photos format and size • • •
Photos should be in Jpeg format. In order to save processing time we recommend photographing in "medium" size. Do not resize the photos prior to uploading them to the Pic2go system. The photosupload interface will reduce photos size automatically to save upload time. Please set your camera time – this will help to trace photos if required.
4. Interaction with the photographed participants Successful Pic2go photography usually requires some interaction with the photographed participants – making sure that the barcodes are visible and facing the camera. In addition – The Pic2go System is very easy and intuitive, it is recommended to give the participants you photograph a short explanation about how they can download their personal photos into their private Facebook account, so that they are assured to retain their PicTag and code for downloading. (please ask sales rep to provide you with this info).
