To acquire the "web site quality" photo, simply hover over the displayed photo and copy
or save it (Windows users "right-click" - Mac users "click and hold"). To acquire
the "print quality" photo, click on the link and download it to your computer.
If you have limited experience in working with photographs in either print or web environments
and you would like information on the difference between print quality images and web quality
images, then click here for a quick tutorial. This link will also provide suggestions on how to
determine the best shot (orientation) to use.

Print and Web Image Tutorial
How you plan on using a publicity photo will determine which of Neil's photos you should select.
You must first determine whether the photo will be used on a web site or in print. This is an
important consideration! If the photo will be used on a web site, choose the "web site quality" photo.
Don't fool yourself into thinking that a better quality photo is better in a web environment. There
is no benefit to choosing the "print quality" photo for your web site because computer
monitors can't display it anyway, and it will significantly increase the page load time. However,
if the photo will be used in print media, make sure you select the "print quality" photo
or else you will end up with a very poor image (it will look very fuzzy!) when it is printed. Remember,
print media is very unforgiving. If you will be doing both web and print work then—you guessed
it!—you will need both images!
In addition, if you are looking for a head shot for your layout, then you must first decide upon
the placement of the photo on the page. If it will be be centered, then either head shot will
do. However, if the photo will be on the left-hand or right-hand side of the page, choose the
appropriate photo for the layout. The action shot will work with any positioning.
