Competition Registration and Rules

And now to make a plan cos the file is still to big

@Sean J do you have a different email addy like gmail I can use?

 

There is another mail address you can use... Try theplantedtank@gmail(dot)com. That one should work. But 20 Meg's is huge!!

 

There is a very small and effective program called pixresizer you can use to make the pics smaller say 800x600 which is usually more then adequate for internet viewing.

If Jean needs a specific picture he can just request one?

 

There is also a freeware program called IrfanView which allows you to reduce pictures to whatever size you want. The PDF converter doesn't always make the pictures smaller, especially if they are already in JPEG format because that is already a condensed format.

 

just something i'd like to share.
for all the peepz with the big fotos on your journals. so by having these big fotos your file size is huge. a little secret to make the photos a bit smaller but image size stays the same.
1. right click on image and click on sent to...
2. click on "mail recipient"
3. chose original size
4. outlook will open
5. right click on attachment and select copy
6. paste your new size foto where you'd like to save.
7. image is now a fraction of the original size.

just a little secret how I got my 22mb journal to 2.2mb.

 

Think this is going to be a crazy week - so I did the photo shoot this morning. Nice weather in JHB for it.

My tools - shotwell, gimp and openoffice, developing the pics now - i.e. downloading them to see what I have or don't.

 

What is the max file size?

 

Surely we have a page limit - I would think two pages ... or did I miss a template?

 

The max file limit is what you can send. I don't have a max file limit, but I think 15megs is pushing it.

@f-fish - No limit to pages. How do you post real progress on only 2 pages?

 

- lol now you assuming that I actually had huge progress, he he he ... thumbnails. Lets see what the flyer looks like once it is done.

 

Thumbnails?? LOL! Not sure we can judge your tank on thumbnails! Hehehe...

 

Hahaha @Sean J so I just got in under the 15megs

 

Or use Word 2007/2010. There is an option to save as pdf...

 

Sean, will we be able to read all the journals? I DO hope so, I've had fun compiling mine?

 

I am not sure how we will do that? Let me think on it!

Only 4 days left guys! Get them entries in! I have 3 in so far!!

 

After the comp everyone can just open a thread for his tank and post it that way.

 

+11000000000000000 internets to @Vis

Yea I was just planning on creating a thread for the tank in any case and copypasta the journal over.

 

Damned good idea @Vis!! I like it!

 

Well if my 3g holds up and gmail can take 6mb attachment my entry is on the way.

 

Is it just me or does PDF make the photos very dull and a bit fuzzy?
