Corrections Today Magazine Photo Specifications

We want your photos to appear as wonderful as pos- sible when printed in Corrections Today. Here is a guide to help you get the best quality in your printed photos. – – One of the best cameras is the one you have with you — and for most of us, that camera is your smartphone. – – Before you email us your photos, check the image size (small, medium, large, actual size). Please send us the largest version of your photo. – – Photo resolution should be 300 dpi. – – Preferred file formats: JPEGs (first choice) or PDFs. – – As a rule of thumb, if your photo is less than a megabyte, it’s too small to use. – – Small photos at 72 dpi cannot be scaled up and will appear fuzzy or pixelated.
