DiCentra workflow for Internal Club Comps

Dicentra Workflow for internal Competitions (E.g. Shuffell, PDI of the Year)
[Team (eg LvG) or Inter-Club Comps need a different workflow!]

NOTE! Dicentra has evolved a lot and now can handle rescaling on the fly so PDIs can be loaded into competitions at the 2019 standard of 1600×1200 pixels.

Status: 1st draft Dec 2015

Hopefully there won’t be any wrongly named files, esp names with missing/extra spaces/etc!
