\"An<\/a>
An example of the current naming convention for photographs for competitions and web software. (Photo submitted.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I asked Wassenberg Camera Club President Chris Wilson why it is so important to rename pictures\u00a0emailed for competition in the following manner: Theme\/Category.Name\/Title<\/a> of the picture. photographer’s name.jpg. It seemed to me that as long as the information was supplied,\u00a0sequence was not important.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0responded promptly with\u00a0the following answer:\u00a0“One, it’s consistent with any other camera club guidelines I have looked at: meaning if you ever want to submit a digital image elsewhere, standard naming practices apply. Two, using the \u201cdot\u201d (period) makes it easier to read the file name. Three, the Wassenberg Art Center requires this format so the website software can read the code to display the photo properly.”<\/p>\n

Some readers may decide to use this sequence, but are not sure how to do it. Once your pictures are in the computer, you will notice each one starts with a series of letters, then numbers, then jpg. The series of letters will vary with the make of the camera, the numbers give the order in which the pictures were taken, and jpg is short for jpeg, which means Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG is a format that all computers understand and must be part of the name in order for most computers to open the picture.<\/p>\n

To give the picture its correct name, right click on the picture.\u00a0 This will produce a menu.\u00a0\u00a0Left click on the word “Rename,” probably near the bottom of the list.\u00a0 You will notice that the original name for the picture is highlighted.\u00a0 Type the sequence listed at the top of the article. That’s all it takes.<\/p>\n

However, resizing pictures\u00a0to be sent by\u00a0Email is also important. We’ll cover that topic on a later date.<\/p>\n
