Kinsa nakasulay shoot sa photo contest Sinulog?

[Kmdr Kabog]

What file to use?

Do the judges use RAW file converter? Or Ill play safe
and use Jpeg instead...

[tangadsangig]

Print man ang i submit. Pag save nalang daan sa imong RAW. Then have another file nga converted to best quality JPEG for printing. Then by the time the Sinulog foundation needs your RAW, then you still have the file. That is if they need RAW. Tagu-i lang daan imong RAW.

I got this from the Sinulog site:

Nag wonder lang pud ko if pwede ba ma adjust ang brightness and contrast ani nga photos ky usahay mu deperencya baya sa printing na.

[edwin_sn]

i mean after my wed photo shoot.. bsta sakay ko supercat mga 4.30pm..

you can ask a friend of yours nga naa diri sa cebu karon to register your name for you. All he has to do is fill-up a form sa sinulog foundation office with your name and get the corresponding ID para maka sulod kas parade on the 20th, and pay the P500 fee of course... otherwise kung wala kay ID on the 20th most likely dili ka kasulod sa parade.

do you mean, the photos you will submit for judging?...i doubt it is allowed sir, as i read over the rules..photos should be in their original take, not edited, cropped or superimposed

would ORIGINAL TAKE also mean RAW? 'coz by converting it to another file would also alter the photo from 12 bits RAW to 8 bits jpeg or 16 bits tiff (if I'm not mistaken).

[tangadsangig]

we should consult the previous istoryan winners

last year's istoryan winners:

borukholi
mark yap
tolz

if they can share a little info

[trazee]

bitaw, we might as well hear from those who experienced na, but the way i understand it, if the shot was taken RAW then the original take is RAW and so do with JPEG, converting RAW to JPEG format is already an alteration
