Image size for all images for assignments:

72 ppi
600 pixels maximum (for vertical images)
800 pixels width (for horizontal images)
save as a jpeg file - be sure file name extension ends in .jpg


How To Change Image Size for Assignment Image Uploads

Open the 'low' folder files you want to work with into Photoshop (or image editing equivalent).

• Once you have opened the image(s) you will be using for your assignment within Photoshop change the Image Size by selecting Image>Image Size (see below).



• In the window that opens change Pixels Dimensions>Height to 600 pixels for vertical images (use 800 pixel width for horizontal images). For your PROFILE PHOTO change pixel dimensions to 150 pixels. Make sure that BOTH Constrain Proportions and Resample Image boxes are checked. See below.



• Save and Rename Your File(s) for uploading.

• Use the following naming convention for your files when preparing them for uploading for a Moodle assignment (be sure that the extension .jpg has been added to the end of your file's name):

              LastName_1.jpg   (and for more than one file)
              LastName_2.jpg
              LastName_3.jpg
   (and so on)

• Use jpeg files (.jpg) for assignment submissions; use photoshop files (.psd) for printing photos from desktop printers.

• If you use a PC (depending on the age of your operating system), it's safest to use file names that do not exceed 9 characters (letters or numbers) so use as much of your last name as possible without exceeding 9 characters.

              Example: Your name is Jane Smith, your file will be saved as;
              smith_1.jpg; your second image is        
              smith_2.jpg and so on.
