Gus Astley Student Award 2010
If you are familiar with compression techniques, proceed to award submission page link.
Although the large file upload system is capable of dealing with files up to 500Mb, before uploading your work please take a moment to consider minimising the file sizes. This will save your time uploading the files and ours receiving them.
- Modern
digital cameras take photographs at very high resolutions and the
resultant photographs are often much too big for reports and have to be
shrunk considerably to fit the page. Depending on your word processor
or desktop publisher, the full size picture file is often saved
together with the photo used unecessarily increasing the file size.
Consider taking photographs at a lower resolution or decreasing the
image size before adding them to reports.
- Before uploading a file, or files, create a ZIP archive. This usually results in a significantly smaller file size and has the added convenience, should you be submitting a number of files, of collecting them into one file.
Creating a ZIP archive is simple in both Windows and Apple:
Windows:
Select the files you wish to include in your submission. Right click/Send to/Compressed (zipped folder).
Submit the resultant folder.
Apple
In Finder, select the files you wish to submit, Ctrl click/Compress items. Submit the resultant folder (default name Archive.zip)
Windows:
Select the files you wish to include in your submission. Right click/Send to/Compressed (zipped folder).
Submit the resultant folder.
Apple
