Our juror, Donna Watson has requested that the images for the VWS 29th Exhibition be in slide form. To comply with this request, I have outlined several options below that you can do at home. These options are online services, you may find others that you prefer or already have a favorite site.

Digital camera files. . . All digital camera files are adequate to produce good slides. If possible, choose your digital camera's highest resolution. Work with them in PhotoShop or other programs. Most people send jpeg, tiff or PhotoShop files. Most people are surprised by how good the slides are even when taken with a low-end digital camera.

Online Services:
Use your search engine (Google, Dogpile, Yahoo etc.) and check out the links below. You can order slides from your digital images that you have uploaded to your computer.
