Q. How large my image files may be?
A. We do not have a firm restriction of size. Please make sure that your image file is no larger that 1.2 MB.
    However if necessary you can compress your image files as ZIP files.

Q. What is JPEG?
A. JPEG is a popular compression standard for motionless pictures of the "Joint Photographic Experts Group".
    The principle of the compression in the JPEG procedure is based on the fact that very similar tint values,
    which can be compressed, are equated. JPEG graphics have a depth of shade of up to 24 bits; this corresponds
    to 16.7 million colours. Compression rates from 10:1 to 20:1 lead to a hardly perceptible data and thus quality
    loss, whereas the involving heavy losses compression in the ratio 100:1 entails an obviously worse image quality.

Q. What are ZIP files?
A. Zip is a format, which is used very frequently for compressing files. Zip files are thus files in the Zip format.
    You can recognize it when file ending in *.zip. To be able to convert into the Zip format is needed special
    program such as WinZip.

Q. How long does it last the transmission of the photographs?
A. The upload time is naturally dependent on the file size, the number of your pictures and the connection of your
    computer to the Internet. The transmission of 1 megabyte of a large image file lasts depending upon the kind of
    connecting:
