    So I can't enter the Casting Call contest?

    One of the requirements of the Casting Call contest was that the images you send in must be at a minimum 1024w x 1024h to 1280w x 1280h but this is a problem for me because my computer monitor is 1440w x 900h.

    I don't have options I can do because altering the resolution of my screen makes everything very 'fat' like it's been stretched in Photoshop and no alterations asides from cropping are allowed and cropping in white space to meet the minimum height requirement probably wouldn't go over very well...

    Is there any way these requirements could be lowered so I could enter or am I just unable to enter the contest at all?

    Just crop and/or resize. Edit: Where do you see this rule about no alterations aside from cropping?

    10 posts per page is only the default setting; it is bad, and you should feel bad if you haven't changed it.

    4. Image editing software is only used to crop their Screenshots.
    Appear on the UK version, the NA version don't state this.
    ( It's also stated on the French version so i think you can crop the screenshots )

    Or maybe put your game in windowed display.

    I don't know if you cant modify the screenshot to change the number of pixel, maybe it will look a little bad.

    Ah, I see.

    Well, you could also have a friend with a larger display go into first-person mode and take screen shots of your character for you.

    "1. The format of each Screenshot image is between 1024 and 1280 pixels for both height and width."
    I read it as: image must not be larger than 1024 pixel for height and 1280 pixel for width, which would make more sense.

    Weird, i read it as : h and w must be between 1024 and 1280 px.

    ( so that it's not too big or too small )

    Yeah, that's why it says for both height and width. The NA page reads:
    Images resolution must be between 1024x1024 and 1280x1280 pixels.

    Easy fix without using any software/cropping, only on PC though. Temporary, just change it back after.

    Escape
    Display Settings Tab
    Make sure Windowed mode is on
    Change Resolution to the desired limits quoted by SE

    When you are changing resolution, choose the setting which doesn't distort the screen (stretching vertically or horizontally)

    Eg. I'm on 1920x1024 Resolution, changed mine (temporarily) to 1280x1024. All my screens now come to 1280x1024, as required by the limits.

    Those are weird limits. For a game that's on consoles alot of people play on tvs that can't do those resolutions. 1080p is 1920x1080 so 1920 is too high. 720p is 1280x720 so 720 is too low. Can't use these screen shots in the contest without altering them.

    You can change the size of the screenshots.
