A question about proprietry:<br />I have several of these I would be interested in contributing but they are adapted from other's work - tracings that I have made from published photos of fossils and skeletal reconstructions. Do you think these are kosher to share?Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293693723899837239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350157389434430698.post-11721053299862833462011-02-22T23:56:12.608-08:002011-02-22T23:56:12.608-08:00I've now added a FAQ addressing the questions ...I've now added a <a href="http://phylopic.org/faq/" rel="nofollow">FAQ</a> addressing the questions above.<br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement, everyone!Mike Keeseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00147156174467903264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350157389434430698.post-49180851166335178582011-02-22T16:35:18.744-08:002011-02-22T16:35:18.744-08:00This is superb.

PNG is probably best, since it's the highest quality (although GIF is also lossless). But it probably doesn't matter in most cases.Mike Keeseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00147156174467903264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350157389434430698.post-49040052467730384152011-02-22T16:10:29.636-08:002011-02-22T16:10:29.636-08:00The Submission Tool automatically crops, contrasts...The Submission Tool automatically crops, contrasts, resizes, and converts all images. (The final format is PNG.) Ideally the cropped silhouette (i.e., without white edges) should be 1024 pixels or more in at least one dimension (but not gigantic). But you can do whatever you like. If you're not comfortable releasing your high-resolution work, you can upload smaller sizes (as long as it's over 64 pixels).<br /><br />As for organism posture, there are no requirements. (So far the submitters can't even agree whether the bilaterally symmetrical animals should be facing right or left! Of course, that's very easy to change when using them in a diagram, so it's not really important.) Whatever you think people will find useful.Mike Keeseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00147156174467903264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350157389434430698.post-69591663872837949372011-02-22T16:01:40.856-08:002011-02-22T16:01:40.856-08:00Great.
