Wisaard Q & A

Greetings! I was on vacation last week so there was no post. I had a lovely time in the Canadian Rockies. Saw two grizzly bears! Good stuff. Kim Q: Where is Ranch on the historic property inventory form styles menu? A: DAHP  categorizes Ranch as a Form/Type, not a style. A Ranch form can have many different styles. A Ranch that has no particular stylistic features is just a Ranch form, leave the style field blank or use No Style. If it is a Ranch that has a style, use one of the styles in the Modern Movement category. For example, a Ranch is a Form/Type that can be Early American or Storybook etc….See this helpful guide for more info: Georgia Ranch House Guide. Q: What is the best size for photos to be uploaded into Wisaard?    A: Photos have a physical size and a file size. The physical size in measured in pixels. The file size is measured in kb or MB. I have found that images at least 1500 pixels wide work best for enlarging to get a better view. If the photo is 1500 pixels wide, the height will vary depending on the ratio and the file size will vary depending on the resolution. 72 dots per inch (dpi) works fine. The file size will vary depending on the physical size and resolution. For example, a photo that is 1500 pixels wide x 900 pixels tall x 300 dpi will have a larger file size than one that is 72 dpi, even if they are the same physical size. Photos should always be in JPEG format.
