Photo & Info Style

Photographs

You may mail us your photo or email an un-cropped digital photo saved as a "jpg" or "tif" file at 200 DPI resolution or higher.

The Oregonian will return your photo. Place your name and contact information on the back.

Photos are scanned into a computer, then sized to fit the announcement you order.

Please avoid landscape (horizontal) photos.

A 4x5 or larger glossy, black & white photograph will reproduce the best. Most good-quality photos, color or back & white, at most any size will reproduce well. An un-cropped digital photo saved as a "jpg" or "tif" file at 200 DPI resolution or higher is also acceptable.

Not Acceptable: Negatives, photocopies, photos scanned or printed off a computer.

The Oregonian is not responsible for poor reproduction of poor-quality photos or photo loss or damage.

We reserve the right to refuse photos that are deemed to be of poor quality and poor taste and the right to crop photos as necessary.

Announcement & Style Policies

You may choose to write your story in your own words, or download a form. When you fill it out and return it to us, we will write your announcement for you. We also accept Microsoft Word, plain text or RTF files via email. (Your order form with your signed authorization must also be mailed or faxed for legal purposes.)

Supply only the information you want considered for publication. Use an asterisk (*) to indicate information that may be deleted if the announcement is too long.

Please print clearly. Spelling and legibility are the responsibility of the person submitting the information.

The Oregonian reserves the right to edit submissions for grammar, spelling and newspaper style without changing the meaning of your announcement.

We are not obligated to re-publish announcements in which incorrect information was provided.
