// Finding Photos

Q.How do I use the race number/name search to find my photos?

A.Enter your competitor race number from the event in the 'Race #' search box on the right of the gallery page and click the submit button to display your photos. Additionally, you can search by name and photo code.
If you cannot find any photos of yourself with your race number, you may have to use the 'view all' button to browse through all the photos.

Q.How do I use the search options box to find my photos?

A.UUsing the search options box is a simple process of selecting three options and then clicking ‘submit’ to display those photos only:
1. Select the photo category you wish to search from the top dropdown list:
Identified = Photos in which we could identify a competitor’s race number.
Unidentified = Photos where a competitor’s race number could not be identified.
All = All photos(both identified and unidentified).

2. Select a gender from the middle dropdown list. Male, Female or All.

3. From the bottom dropdown list, select the time block of the sport you want to diplay photos for.
eg. Selecting ‘00:45:00 - 00:46:59’ under the Swim sport will select only those photos between that time block.

4. Click submit to display the photos matching your selected search options.

An example search option is:
Category = Identified
Gender = All
Time = Bike, 05:30:00 - 05:34:59
This search would display all the photos we could identify a race number in, of all genders and with a Bike finish time between 05:30:00 - 05:34:59.

Q.Why can't I find any photos of myself?

A.Fuse attempts to capture a photo of every person at the event. However, due to the nature of some photography (such as sport photography), it is near impossible to capture a photo of every competitor in the field.
If you cannot find a photo of yourself with one search option, please try the other options. Alternatively you can browse through the 'unidentified' photos or 'view all'.

// Image and Print Quality

Q.Will the quality of the prints be the same as the images I see on the website?

A.No. The photo print you receive will be of much higher quality than the images you see on our website. We use low resolution images on the website to help keep browsing speeds acceptable for all customers. All photos are printed on Archival Quality photographic paper using professional lab printers.
Most photos can be blown up and printed at 20"x30"(50x75cm) without loss of quality.

Q.Will my images be touched up and/or cropped before being printed?

A.Yes. We currently adjust each image before it's printed to fix up any colour or brightness discrepancies. If you would like further changes(such as cropping) to the image before it is printed then please include your request in the notes section of the invoice or call us before you place the order.
During the enlargement process the image ratio changes and we may have to crop the image; we will do our best to make sure the cropping process does not detract too far from the original image.
