• Special Notice - Images
Would those who kindly contribute images to this website please note the following changes which are due to temporary reduced broadband capacity. With immediate effect, and before submitting images, please resize each image to ensure the longest side is no longer than 1024 pixels. Feel free to use our resizer utility. Submit images to wsrpix@gmail.com. We expect to be back to normal by end of September 2008. Contact us if you need more details. Thanks.

| | As ever, we are pleased to receive images of the Railway. If you are sending a number of images please email to wsrpix@gmail.com or wsrpix@yahoo.com. These accounts currently have up to 2Gb mailbox limits and can usually receive many images. Single images can be sent any of our email addresses.
| | Most images will be resized to 512 pixels on the longest side. It really helps if images dimensions are exact multiples of 512 - thus images with the longest side of 512, 1024, 2048, 2560, 3072 will undoubtedly render more faithfully on the website. Generally, the larger the image, the better chance of a reasonable resized result. Each image for the website will assessed for quality - most are used. But some cropping and editing is carried out, usually improving colour rendition, getting highlights into shadow areas and a spot of sharpening. Most images are resized and a further resized image, the thumbnail, is produced. A single image can take between 30 seconds and several minutes to edit, crop, resize, copy and upload.
| | EXIF information (metadata about the image) can be useful when determining the date of original capture but it will be removed during the editing process.
| | Details of the image content are welcome especially the date of the image.
| | Copyright of an image remains with the owner of the image.
| | From time to time, specific images are requested by publishers and it would save time if, at time of submission, contributors could indicate agreement for such usage and also allow contact details to be passed to publishers to ensure proper acknowledgements and any payment arrangements.
