You don't realize, you know, until you go looking, how rare mimes are in Newfoundland, in the middle of the frikken winter. Maybe I'll move to Paris. c'est la vie.
I finished my fire and my silence entries, only just realizing that I mixed up which challenge was advanced editing and which was normal editing.
I cloned out some hot pixels on my image for silence, then realized it was illegal. It's easy to forget, especially something like that - it's not really doctoring the photo, IMHO.
My first challenge. Picture not turning out the way I took it after resizing. A lot of noise i think. I don't understand.We'll see what happens. Good luck to all.
Question for all who entered a challenge recently: I just uploaded a pic for Silence and the only size that would fit the requirements ended up being small. I did it the way I've always, has something changed? Other than that, I get alot of noise when resizing as well, other than just picking 'resize' how can you combat compression?
The fact you have a lot of noise is probably why you can't upload a very big file. Noise adds a lot to the size of the file. The 150kb limit is still the same but with a noisey photo you will probably have to compress more.
in photoshop, goto Image: image size and put the bigger number at 640, goto file: save as, and save it as a jpeg, a quality minumum of 5 is my rule(no noise there even)
the pic I uploaded actually isn't one of those 'noisey' examples. However, I've been resizing the way everybody mentioned [it's standard right?] is there a way to reduce the look of compression when downsizing? That's the only problem I'm really having..I usually only resize for DPC and for the web, and I don't want either to be grainy.

i feel that i am gradually basing more and more of my opinion on creativity. Of course, technical abitilty is going to be a big part always, but i don't have much mercy for something that i feel doesn't have any creativity, it is just as bad as an image that is VERY blown out, or very blurry.
