| Question: What type of paper, chemicals and machines are your photographs reproduced on? |
| |
|
Answer: We print on Fujicolor Crystal Archive professional photographic paper, processed through
professional Fuji Hunt Chemicals. This paper has been carefully chosen because of its outstanding archival characteristics
(rated 50 plus years), and its ability to reproduce the full range of colors and densities from an original image.
For our small format, typically 10x15 and smaller, we use Fuji Frontiers. For our large format prints, which are
11x14 and larger, we use Pollielectronicas.
|
| |
| Question: Are the photos I will receive the same resolution as the images online? |
| |
|
Answer: The resolution of the photos online has been reduced in order to conserve space and memory
required to host them online. When we make prints of your photos, we use high-resolution files of the photos.
Your prints will be crisper and more vivid than what you see on your computer monitor.
|
| |
| Question: Will the photos I order have a Watermark on them? |
| |
|
Answer: No. The watermark is an online feature only.
|
| |
| Question: What is the difference between glossy, matte and lustre? |
| |
Answer: Glossy photos are printed on coated paper with a very smooth, shiny reflective surface. Glossy finishes have a high-contrast appearance and look slick to the touch when not under glass.
In contrast, matte finishes have a very smooth, non-glare finish. Matte finishes have a lower-contrast when printed and are often used to enhance the texture of a print and may be best suited for framing.
Lustre paper is the premier paper most preferred by portrait and wedding photographers and is considered more of a professional-grade paper. Lustre is often considered the finish "between" matte and glossy, and has a slight gloss with a subtle, often pearl-like texture. Lustre paper has a deeper color-saturization than matte as well as a higher contrast.

| Question: How are images cropped? |
| |
|
Answer: There are several options for image cropping. After you have selected the "Order Print" option,
the cropping options will be displayed and explained.
|
| |
| Question: How are the photos processed? |
| |
|
Answer: We process using Fuji Crystal Archive paper, which is RA 4. We use Fuji Hunt chemicals for
all our prints. For our small format, which are 10x15 and smaller, we use Fuji Frontiers. For our large format prints,
which are 11x14 and larger, we use Pollielectronicas.
|
| |
| Question: What type of framing and matting material do you use? |
| |
|
Answer: We use a variety of high quality materials that are sure to complement and accentuate the quality

Q: Why did I have to enter my e-mail address to upload photos and post comments? Will I start getting spam and junk mail?
A: MyPix users submit their e-mail addresses and create user names to facilitate the functionality offered on the site. The Press of Atlantic City shall not use any user information for any purpose other than those defined in the Term's of use without explicit consent from the users.
Q: What is your privacy policy?
A: Pressofatlanticcity.com adheres to a strict privacy policy.
Q: What types of image files can I upload to MyPix?
A: Easier to say what images you cannot upload to MyPix, actually. MyPix images must be jpg files of photos that you've taken. No uploading images that are retouched in any way. Do not upload your non-photo artwork, photos that you've found on the web, stock or celebrity photos, stuff that appears to be copyrighted by someone else, screenshots, panoramic or oddly sized photos. No content that's inappropriate for public areas or nudity. Nudity, even tasteful, is probably not going to make the cut. Nothing out of focus, underexposed or overexposed, unless it's done artfully.
Please pay attention to composition. Photos should be crisp, not too dark or blown out. We encourage good photography and a good viewing experience for the MyPix community.
Q: What information should I include in my caption?
A: Please include the location where the photo was taken and the circumstances if appropriate. Do not use the caption field to advertise your website.
Q: What size images may I upload to MyPix?
A: MyPix only supports jpgs. They can be of any size.
Q: I uploaded a photo to an album. Why isn't it showing up?
A: All photos go through an approval process before they appear on the site. If you've uploaded an image that falls into a category we don't accept (as specified above), we won't approve it. Otherwise, it will show up in the appropriate album once it is approved.
Q: I commented on a photo. Why isn't it showing up?
A: It is probably waiting on approval. But if your comment contains profanity or hate, it's not going up.
Q: How often do photos get approved?
A: Photos are approved on a daily basis.
Q: How do I suggest a new album or category to MyPix?
A: Send us a suggestion to webmaster@pressofac.com. In the subject line, type "How about a new category?" We'll look it over and if it works for us, we'll create that album on MyPix.
Q: Is registration required on pressofatlanticcity.com for me to comment, upload photos to MyPix or vote a photo as "Best"?
A: No. But you must enter a user name and email address to comment and to upload photos. User name and password are not required to vote for a photo as Best".
Q: What does"Best" mean?
A: You may vote for one photo, per album, per session that you feel is best out of any given album.
Q: One of my photos was stamped as "best" and now it's not. Why?
A: At any given time, in each album, the photo with the most "best" votes from users will have the "best" stamp. Should more than one photo get the same number of "best" votes, they will all have a stamp. Once the tie is broken, the photo with the most "best" stamps will retain the stamp, while the runners-up will los
