IIC lower-quality images

For Investment Claims, images are generally not available in high-quality formats, and fewer versions are required.

These instructions override core instructions on capturing high-quality images.

Provide images in two sizes and place in two separate folders. Both versions of an image should use the same file name and extension/format.

Images may need to be scanned or otherwise extracted from a PDF or Word document. The most important criterion for scanning is that the image is clear and any text legible.

Be sure to rotate images to correction orientation if necessary.

Full size

Place in subfolder figures.

Provide image in its original size.

For photographs and artworks which are not maps, charts or graphs:

For maps, charts and graphs (any graphics which contain text):

optimize as 72 dpi 8-bit GIF (1-bit GIF for black-and-white images), 89a non-interlaced format

Thumbnail size

Place in subfolder 'thumbnail'.
