This is the info calendargirl gave me
"FYI, in case anyone asks you, photo requirements are rather specific and
there seems to be a lot of confusion about them. I'll try and explain
because I have to admit until I took this job I had no idea what is needed
for printing in the magazine, which is very much different than posting on
the web.
First off, photos need to be high resolution. We prefer 300 dpi, or ppi,
(which ever you prefer.) They both mean the same thing, dots per inch or
pixels per inch. Secondly, and this is where it can get confusing, we need
them sent as large full size files. As close to 1MB as possible. This is
where most people have a problem. Often photos files are reduced in size to
either send them faster, or to store them so they don't take up so much
computer space. Unfortunately that doesn't work for our needs. Often people
think if it looks good, or big on their monitor screen it's ok. Not so. Most
monitors have a resolution around 72ppi, 120 at the most, nowhere near 300
that we need. If we can get a photo file sent large enough we can often use
it even if the resolution isn't that high because we can reduce it and it
will look pretty good. That only works though if the file sent works out to
be 8 X 10 inches in size at a lower resolution and we can print it as a 4 X
5 inch , or smaller image in the magazine
If anyone has any other questions on this let me know and I will try to get you an answer
