<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I've received several good photos but I must emphasize something in terms of image quality. The ideal print image quality is 300 dpi (dots per inch) so if you have a photo that is going to appear on the K-Factor cover it will end up being about 7 1/2" wide by 8" tall which equates to being:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">7.5 x 300 = 2250 and 8 x 300 = 2400 which multiplied together = 5.4mb image size. Not too many people have high quality digital cameras so ideally the image should be at least 3mb in size otherwise we lose quality and the picture becomes grainy. I've received a lot of pictures that when put at 300 dpi come out to be 4.2"x3.2" which is too small for a cover photo. When you see the cover photo for the December issue of the K-Factor you'll know what I mean by good image quality. :)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">When you send me pictures, please send me the following information as well:</FONT>
