Best Practices – Digital Asset Guidelines – Rev 4 www.autocare.org | www.autocarevip.com | technology@autocare.org 37 Table Notes: 1. The Size specification has been updated in this version of the Digital Asset Product Images Guidelines and, therefore, only applies to images that are captured, processed, and distributed to trading partners after the release date of this document. 2. The White Space specification is a generalization and the size and shape of the product may impact the number of pixels of white space that can be left in the 360 degree image frames. 3. If a trading partner is requiring square images, it will be necessary to add white space to the image. o Consult with any trading partners prior to submitting square images to fully understand the white space requirements and impact on overall image size. 4. RGB/sRGB is preferred format for digital viewing. o CMYK is preferred format for print documents and has been removed from the product images portion of the document. 5. Formatting the images at 300 DPI allows trading partners to size images for all electronic catalog projects. o If images are of higher quality than preferred or recommended, it is a best practice to keep the higher resolution image as your master and downsize for trading partner delivery if required. It is not recommended to downsize your master high resolution image to a lower quality image. 6. The ‘Digital Asset File Name’ should only consist of alphanumeric characters. Spaces and any other special characters other than a dash or underscore should not be used. o All image names must include the extension e.g., .jpg
