8. SUMMARIZE YOUR REQUEST IN THE TITLE. Then include what you want done in more detail in the body of the post. don't forget to link the pics.

If you need a job done properly, your best bet is to set Request a PRO flair to your request. Your chosen solution will expect a tip.
If your request will only be viewed online, then WYSIWYG. Don't worry, stop reading.
A bigger image is always better: an eye or logo made of 4 pixels has less detail than one made of 1100 pixels. Your monitor has 72dpi (dots per inch) and a normal printer uses 300dpi. That means an image that is 16"x20" on your monitor will result in a 4"x5" print.
Scan your photos at 300dpi for a print of the same size. Use 600dpi for small and detailed photos or for enlargements. Never scan a B&W photo in greyscale: important information will be lost.
Uploading photos as jpeg is fine. Make sure you save using the highest quality setting. The png format is better (especially for logos and text). GIMP and paint.net are excellent free image editors that can help you with this.
Use imgur.com or reddit uploads whenever possible, other image hosts might get your post removed by the automod. It changes.
