Help:Contents/Images and media/Image Quality Guidelines

Overall Quality
Some of the criteria of a good quality image are as follows:
 * The main subject of the image should be in focus.
 * Lighting should be sufficient to see identifying characteristics on the specimen.
 * Should be big. An uploaded image of 200x200px is much less useful then 2000x2000. We do not have a limit on image storage or uploads, so please send us the largest copy of the image that you can. We automatically scale it down for use on the pages.

Copyright Tags
Some images have a copyright message or URLs displayed across them (called tags). These are a major drawback when considering image quality. We always respect copyrights, but will always ask or opt to use a non-tagged image where possible.
