Cheers,
Neo | Would it not be possible to send your pic in a ZIP file to someone and have them upload it for you? No idea if this is possible or not - just an idea. __________________ E36/5 '95 318ti Auto. Boston Green, Sand Grey Leather.

Image sizes can be easily increased by using something like Genuine Fractals or similar. PS should be able to do the same. So to summarise.. 2400 x 1800 pixels or higher Saved as CMYK JPEG (or TIFF?) or have I miss-read that? 1 photo per member. Name, location, model, mods must be included. Deadline Oct 31, 2008. No frontal shots.. What I'd like to know is.. - What format is this calendar going to be in i.e. Portrait or landscape?
- What size is it going to be i.e. 3:2 ratio or 5x4 format etc. as I have a habit of cropping everything to 5x4 to print 10" x 8". No point in submitting anything if it isn't going to fit.

Yea, but doesn't that distort the picture? I don't want my photo to have obvious pixels sticking out. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

this year's calender is a landscape, I can only assume it will be the same for '09 | that's fine, now what size will it be? (image format 3:2 etc.) I agree it shouldn't be overly photoshoped, as with everything it's fine in moderation and sometimes ok if it's done tastefully. I think some guidelines might help i.e. images changed into black and white might look nice but need to be done with this in mind as it could turn out bland and gray if envisaged as a colour image at the start. Also IR (infra-red) looks really good in some situations either as colour or black and white. This can be achieved in photoshop and looks quite effective. Just a thought... __________________ E36/5 '95 318ti Auto. Boston Green, Sand Grey Leather.

right, I didn't word it right, we were allowed to use some slight ps'ing to remove rock chips, dings, etc. but not actually changing the appearance of the car | | | | | 08-29-2008, 09:31 PM | #37 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Yorkshire Posts: 151 |

Does that mean i don't have to wash it and can just PS all the bird crap off it (lots of starlings at the mo - by lots I mean about a thousand flying around in the field behind my house).  Seriously joking aside, what about monochrome? I used to shoot a lot of black and white in my film days - just thought it may be another avenue to wander down. __________________ E36/5 '95 318ti Auto. Boston Green, Sand Grey Leather.

It took me a LONG time to make it but it really doesn't belong in my siggy. As a matter of fact, reducing the image size to make it fit the siggy requirements kinda really crapped out some of the great details. I can do other great photoshop edits. I know it isn't my car, but I really think that spicing some pictures can actually make people want to buy the calender even more!
So what I'm really asking is 2 questions. If I can photoshop, can I use a different car? or does it have to be my car? I'll make sure that no ti's from this forum is used. | I think the picture you use should be a picture that YOU (or a friend) took of your car (or a group of cars with yours included in it)...I don't think it's right to take someone else's work and pass it as your own If you took someone else's car to use for our calendar, it wouldn't really be our calendar will it... Just my thought. Speaking of Photoshop, will HDR be allowed or not? -Randy __________________ 97 Jet Black 318ti Sport. Not so stock anymore!....

Yeah it should involve your Ti. Like this you can show off your work and people can get ideas off of it. We don't want a calender that shows extremely modded Ti's, because not everyone has one. Even a stock Ti can look good. It's all up to how the picture is taken that makes it look good. | | | | | 08-30-2008, 01:58 PM | #41 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Yorkshire Posts: 151 |

-Randy | Like Photoshop, HDR images can be excellent if done tastefully but if done over the top can look hideous. Done right an HDR image shows what we see - if we look at the ground the sky doesn't turn bright white does it? If set about the right way the final image should look natural after all using ND graduated filters can give a similar effect. I think an HDR images should be allowed as long as it reproduces a true account of the initial scene. Quote: Originally Posted by elchicano318ti It's all up to how the picture is taken that makes it look good. | Quite true, but with cameras such as mine post processing is necessary to bring the image to life. To me it's how the image is envisaged in the eye of the photographer - the digital camera is merely a tool to record what is there as is the computer to manipulate the recorded data into an output image the photographer initially saw. The old adage, 'All things in moderation' should be applied. __________________ E36/5 '95 318ti Auto. Boston Green, Sand Grey Leather.

madfronter will be putting working on the calendar this year.
Is there a problem with uploading images?
Edit: And we'll update the rules.
If anyone goes beyond the spirit of the rules, they simply will not be included in the vote. 2009 will have no drama. __________________ ...steven

In my opinion the picture shows that my car is a ti, but if you find that it dosn't show the hatch clearly enough, then I can upload another one that does. (The only reason I wanted to upload this picture is because it is by far my favorite shot.) Thanks __________________ http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...ignature-2.jpg
