An e-mail is sent to the winner's e-mail address.

We have to give winners a short while to respond - sometimes people even go away and don't check their e-mails...unthinkable!

They expanded far too fast, same old story. Now they are paying the price in a market that has serious problems.

In Photoshop use Bicubic resampling if you need to resize, it's the default so it shouldn't be a problem.
In later versions, if you have the option use Bicubic Smoother to upsize and Bicubic Sharper to downsize for the web whilst maintaining sharpness.
Finally, apply Unsharp Mask to the image.
An ideal size for this forum by the way is 800 pixels on longest side, 72ppi and a file size of no less than 200K, no more than 300K or so.

The whole stop would indeed be the dot. Half stops are marked by a click only.

The 126 Cartridge from Kodak was 35mm film in an instant package that gave 24x24mm exposures. SLR designs from Zeiss Ikon and Kodak looked a little strange because they were narrower but higher to accommodate the square format.
The downfall was lack of a pressure plate for the film and the relatively poor construction quality of the cartridge itself. Just as with the much smaller 110 format.

I wonder how many people do take much notice of magazine tests. The number of readers who actually buy and are swayed by the tests might be quite low compared to the number of buyers who never look at a magazine.
I would suspect that the tendency is for people to buy what they want, then accept the tests that approve that choice as good tests and reject the tests that don't support that choice as bad tests.
