> accompanying iris registrations and the creation of a Registration Image
> Coordinator."
>
> GUIDELINES FOR THE SUBMISSION OF DIGITAL IMAGES ACCOMPANYING IRIS
> REGISTRATIONS
>
> *Mission Statement*:
> To create a reference library of images associated with fully completed
> registrations received from the AIS Registrar-Recorder.
>
> The images should function primarily as augmentation of cultivar
> descriptions and secondarily as a resource for AIS promotion.
>
> *Guidelines for Image Submission:*
> *Registrants are requested to submit images with registration. Highest
> quality digital images in jpeg format (4x6-300 dpi or medium setting on
> the camera-Higher Resolution is preferred and not to exceed 600 or 1200
> dpi).
>
> *Once the registrant receives approval for their name requested, images
> should be labeled as follows:
> YYreg.number, iris name_hybridizer_registration year_type_photographer.
> (i.e. 11-6789_Golden Panther_Tasco05_TB_JSmith)
>
> *If possible, images of the flower (close up), stalk and clump are
> desired. It is to the advantage of the hybridizer to submit the best
> photos possible so they may promote the cultivar in AIS projects. The
> photographer retains copyright ownership for their own uses but agrees
> with submission to any AIS uses.
>
> *The photograph of the flower should be taken in the garden with no
> digital manipulation permitted. Color and form should be true to
> cultivar in all respects and in sharp focus.
>

> library.
