When it says, "Dogs only", does that mean humans can't be in the picture at all? Or can a portion (not faces) be in the picture? Like if my arm or hand is in the picture, is that ok?

I think partial body parts + doggy don't work well "most" of the time in Calendar prints. I'm sure there are exceptions tho :)

I'm getting the same error. My jpg file is 1.7mb and keep receiving the 413 too large error.

Sorry Brenda and Gary, the system is fixed now.

Thanks Sam. It finally worked, but the photo still had to be under 3MB before it was excepted. Wouldn't take my nice 3.8 mb had to resize down to 1.7mb.

Weird, I uploaded a 4.6mb this morning without hiccup, I'll have a word with our tech tomorrow. Thanks for the headsup.

I think mine went through...nothing stating an error!

Yay, it's calendar time!
My picture is 1.54MB but I got the 413 error too. Tried several times. I'll try again tomorrow.

Sam I'm not real great at this stuff, will we know if our picture was disqualified because of size etc.? Can't wait to order mine, great job and thanks to everyone who works so hard on this.

No problem, we'll let you know.

How do we submit a photo (4.72 MB) - the submission interface is rejecting and going to an error screen? Thanks for your help - we are excited about the 2011 Corgi Calendar!
