The Gloucester Camera Club Digital Projected Image Preparation (GCCDPIPrep) program is a simple to use application written by Mark Kemp.
This program will resize your photograph and name the file correctly.
You can download it from here and install it on your windows PC.
Mark’s original help file is here:
You should have your image(s) ready to be renamed and resized. The application usually expects a JPEG format, but it will also accept a BMP, TIF, GIF or PNG file. RAW Files are not supported.
Here there is a single JPG file called "Boat House on Rydal Water" - You can see it's dimensions are 2400 x 1500 and is just over 3MB is size.
The first time you open the program, it will prompt you for your name. Type your name and click the OK button
If you have opened the program before, it will remember your name.
Click the Select an Image to prepare button and a the usual File Open dialog box will open.
Browse to and select the file you wish to process, then click the Open button.
The picture will display in the middle of the window.
There are some notes about the original size and what size the new image is. It does not matter but if you are curious press the ‘explain’ button for the calculation
If the image is the wrong way up use the rotate clockwise or anticlockwise buttons to fix it.
Then enter the title in the box below the picture and click the large "Save the image ready for Gloucester Camera Club DPI competition" button to process your image.
A file save dialog will appear with the name of the file in the correct format and it will be the right size.
Click Browse to the location you want to save the file and click the Save button.
Your original file is not changed, the new file is formatted with the correct file name and you can see it has the right dimensions of 1920 x 1200 and is now only 424KB in size.
This is now ready to be given to the competition secretary.
