Main technical aspects to approach to a quality image |
WMAR defines a quality images, those with at least 1280 x 960 of resolution. However this does not mean that WMAR will accept images with enough resolution to allow illustrate articles, particulary in cases where there are no alternative or replacement. Regarding these images, quality would be defined by the image's topic coverage.
To avoid unnecessary or inappropriate use of artistic filters and effects
Every important object on the picture should be sharp, considering the idea of the image
Images should be currently exposed

Main technical aspects to approach to a quality image |
The colors of the image/document/art work etc. must be respected
We can adjust colors after scanning to make documents, images, art works etc. to look as similar as possible to the originals
To avoid unnecessary or inappropriate use of artistic filters and effects
Pictures with caption written in the same medium, it is better not to crop it, so that the information it may contain (original title, publisher, date, etc.) is immediately verifiable.
To adjust brightness and contrast in pictures, paintings or full colors works is recomended
