I've gone through the pictures from the baseball photo shoot ABG, and have prepared the proofs you'll find here. This file is intended to help you use these proofs to select photographs for printing.

What's On This Website For You

Of course you're reading ReadMe.htm.

The rest of your part of the site is designed to let you browse every picture I took as part of this shoot.

Browsing your Photographs and
Selecting Photographs for Printing

You can start browsing your photographs immediately by going to this page. This page lets you browse all the images and select your favorites. You'll have to write down and email or give me the names of the pictures you'd like as 4x6's, 8x10's, etc.

Identifying Your Photographs For Your Package

You'll need to understand our naming conventions so you can identify the pictures of your choice to create your package.

Every picture shot by pcpix.com ends up with a filename that looks a little like ABG0042.jpg. The "ABG" portion tells us to which photo shoot a photograph belongs; the "0042" narrows it down to a specific image. The last portion, a file extension like ".jpg", is the least important, because it varies for a single image with all the processes it goes through.

For example, I may shoot pictures with my Nikon, which produces files with the .NEF extension. I'll likely then process each photograph in Photoshop, which uses the .PSD extension. I'll create a low-resolution proof for your approval with the .JPG extension; after you've approved the pictures, I'll go on to create several more JPG and TIFF versions of that single image for various uses (printing, web display, archiving, etc.). So that single image will likely show up in all the following ways:

FilenameUse
ABG0042.nefRaw file, as shot in the camera
ABG0042.psdPhotoshop file used to improve the image
ABG0042.jpgProof image, 640x480, with pcpix.com logo etc.
proof06.jpgIdentified on 4x6 print as ABG0042
ABG0042.TIFFHigh-resolution (3008x2000) copy of original
ABG0042.jpgHigh-resolution (3008x2000) copy of original
ABG0042.TIFFHigh-resolution, cropped and modified for printing
ABG0042.jpgHigh-resolution, cropped and modified for printing
ABG0042.jpgLow resolution, for web display, of original picture
ABG0042.jpgLow resolution, for web display, of printed picture

So if you're manually sending me the list of pictures you'd like as 4x6's, 8x10's, etc., you really only need to put the full identifier once, then just the significant portions of the number for the rest of the pictures. For example, this is a perfectly valid and clear list of pictures: 

4x6's
  ABG0006, 7, 9, 14, 22, 31, 32, 36, 38, 42, 44
8x10's
  8, 38
That's certainly easier to type, write or say on the phone than this: 

4x6's
  ABG0006.jpg
  ABG0007.jpg
  ABG0009.jpg
  ABG0014.jpg
  ABG0022.jpg
  ABG0031.jpg
  ABG0032.jpg
  ABG0036.jpg
  ABG0038.jpg
  ABG0042.jpg
  ABG0044.jpg
8x10's
  ABG0008.jpg
  ABG0038.jpg

Getting Your Package

As soon as you've chosen the pictures you'd like, get me the list and I can get them printed up. If you're a coach and you're ordering for the entire team, let me know who wants each picture and in which sizes: 
Bill S. wants:
4x6's
  ABG0006
8x10's
  36
Tom D. wants:
4x6's
  6, 8, 36, 38, 42, 44
8x10's
  8, 38
Randy M. wants:
8x10's
  8
I can't produce your package until you've chosen the pictures you'd like printed and given me your list.

Thank you

Baseball is a great game, and sometimes an image can help you keep and share special memories. Whether it's pictures of your friends and coaches, or shots that show you in action, I hope you find these pictures help you enjoy and treasure your baseball experience even more.
