  8. BEFORE TAKING THE PICTURE

  9. CHECK LIGHTING • Ensure the lighting is sufficient to bring out the detail and show the true colors of the item(s). • Avoid shadows and do not take photographs of vehicles inside a garage. • When using a flash, avoid reflections on glass or mirrors.

  10. SHOW DETAIL • Fill the entire frame. • If the brand name, manufacturer, or any other data are visible, include them in the photo. • Take more than one picture to show different views, that is, the entire object versus sectional shots.

  11. SHOW DETAIL – Con’t • Remove tags from vehicles. • Don’t show duct tape or other wrapping material that may be used to hold multiples of the same item together.

  12. AVOID CLUTTER • Anything in the background that distracts from the item being excess, either remove or isolate. • A plain colored fabric backdrop can be used to accomplish this. However, do not use all white because the contrast will be too great.

  13. AVOID CLUTTER – CON’T • Ensure that pictures of people are not included. • When taking a photo of an item that contains a mirror, ensure that no one’s image is in the mirror.

  14. OFFENSIVE OR DERATORY Ensure that nothing is included in the photographs that may be construed as offensive or derogatory in nature..

  15. TAKING THE PICTURE • Type: Only digital or scanned photographs are acceptable. • Format: Only the .jpg, Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG), file extension is acceptable. • Size: Submit any size photograph; the large (full view) picture is displayed in GSAXcess® in a rectangular format at 600 X 400 pixels.

  16. TAKING THE PICTURE – CON’T • Additional photos: Up to 11 thumbnails showing different views of the item will be displayed on the same screen in a square format at 70 X 70 pixels. • Quantity: No more than 12 photographs can be submitted per Item Control Number (ICN).

  17. NAMING THE PICTURE FILE • Each photograph must be identified by a separate photograph filename. • The photograph filename begins with the ICN (a 15 position field with the 15th space blank or with a suffix), identifying the item being reported for excess by the reporting agency.

  18. NAMING THE PICTURE FILE – CON’T • The photograph suffix (consisting of an Alpha character) is added to the end of the ICN for each separate photograph for that item. • Followed by the photograph file extension “.jpg” at end.

  19. NAMING THE PICTURE FILE – CON’T • ICN: 1236WW70580001 (without suffix) • Picture Name: 1236WW70580001A • File Name: 1236WW70580001A.JPG • ICN: 1236WW70580001A (with suffix) • Picture Name: 1236WW70580001AA • File Name: 1236WW70580001AA.JPG

  20. FILE NAME FOR ADDITIONAL PICTURES • The 1ST photograph (full view) will end with the photograph suffix ‘A’, and any other pictures (thumbnails) for that item will be from suffix “B through M, excluding the letter I.” • Please note that all alphabetical letters are capitalized.
