A little help please

Hi guys. I had this photo rejected. Could anyone help me out. Im a little confused on the reason for rejection.

Photo ID 92852 was rejected from the database.
Railroad: CSX Transportation (CSXT)
Locomotive: EMD SD70MAC
Reason for Rejection: Photo does not meet the minimum pixel size requirements

*So does that mean the photo has to be bigger in size or smaller?*

It looks too square (and too small). Try to keep the general shape to one that resembles the frame of a slide. Also, size it to 1024 by ~650.

Looks blurry too.

Problem is when I resize the photo to 800x600 or 1024x768 it becomes either stretched way out or compacted looking. I was resizing them to 900x600 and they were coming out perfect.

Just let your photo editor constrain the porportions. Type 1024 or 800 for your width and it will keep a proper height without any distortion.

Mike,
When I do that it still gets stretched out. I use PSP 6. Im not sure what photo editing program you use. The camera came with Adobe photo shop so i think i will install that.

Ryan,
In PSP, look at your "resize" tool box, find the "lock aspect ratio" box and check it. Then when you resize the width OR height of the image, it will automatically resize the other dimension for you.
