PDI Guidance
Entering PDIs for Competitions
a) You can enter up to 3 PDIs (Projected Digital Images) for most club competitions.
b) You should upload them to the club’s PhotoEntry site (https://compent.photoentry.uk/compent/) by midnight on the closing date for entries which is normally the Monday before the competition.
c) You should make sure that:
no watermark is visible on the photograph
you enter a title for each image that doesn’t include your name
you select the criteria for publishing top images.
d) Images should be uploaded as JPEG (or JPG) files which have an sRGB colour profile.
(The test image currently used on the projector ahead of PDI competitions is here.)
you can upload image files up to 10MB in size – the PhotoEntry system will automatically re-size them: for internal competitions images will be re-sized to a maximum of 1600 pixels (px) wide and 1200 px high for projection.
if your original image file is bigger than 10MB then you will need to re-size the image yourself before you upload it.
if you have Lightroom it’s easy to specify an image size – just set up an export preset with 1600 px as the maximum size for the width and 1200 px as the maximum size for the height.
More information about uploading images to the PhotoEntry system (including more detail about re-sizing files) can be found on its Help pages once you have logged in.
