John, The requirements seem a bit peculiar at first, but not really very complicated.
Size: Max heigth is 600 pixels. It is a good idea to use 600 pixels to get the most out of the presentation interface. Due to limitations in the same interface (which is Flash-based), they don't want panoramic images. anything between 3:2 and 3:2 aspect ratio looks best... :-) EXIF: When uploading, the server checks the EXIF for presence of the value "PENTAX CORPORATION" in the camera mfg. tag. If there is EXIF information and this tag is unpopulated or contains a different value, the photo is declined. The server is very picky. It will not accept eg. "Pentax". This can be an issue with some raw file converters. I have experienced it with older versions of PhaseOne's C1 (v3.4 and older, I think), and all versions of LightZone. Adobe Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop seem to work in all versions. If you experience rejects based on EXIF, your only option is to resave the file without any EXIF tags at all (PS: "save for web") and upload that. Just ticking the "this is a scanned image" will not work if there are any camera make specific EXIF tags in the file. Watermarks, borders, visible signatures etc. Don't use them. You may also consult the guidelines for the finer points, but I think that about covers it. Oh, and you CAN upload pictures taken with other-brand lenses as long as the SLR is Pentax. Cottyesque variants, however, are not allowed.
