Some articles in JPS skip preflight and image editing by default. In these cases, the copy or production editor needs to check the following:

Color profiles should be converted. For color figures to Adobe RGB 1998; for grayscale to Dot Gain 20%  (Edit->Convert to profile)

Trim any extraneous space and text from the image borders (Image->Trim)

File must be 8 bits (Image ->Mode)

Flatten all layers (Layer -> Flatten Image)

Delete all Alpha channels (Window->Channels)

Create Thumbnail image (80x80px @72 DPI .gif)

Choose a section of a figure that is visually interesting.

Select the crop tool

On the tool bar select custom and then make the size 80 px  x 80 px

Click the check mark on the tool bar

File/Save for web

Save with the following naming convention: JCB_201801022_thumb.gif

If article has no figures, use a plain white thumbnail (attached). Rename accordingly.
