Photoshop Discussion / Life Size Prints
« on: December 06, 2008, 12:45 »
Hello,

Does anyone know of a way to print out a full size photo? This would be where you would print out sections and tape togeather to get a height of 6 feet.

Unsure if Photoshop will do it but there may be other programs or plugins that might. I need to do this for some Christmas decorating we are doing at work.

Thanks for your help

Photoshop Discussion / Photoshop Elements Info
« on: November 10, 2008, 14:21 »
Hello,

Can anyone suggest some good sites where I can get Tips and Tricks regarding Photoshop Elements? I have been looking at Photoshop Elements Techniques at http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/ but not sure if it is the best.

Thanks

Cameras / Lenses / Pentax Lenses
« on: September 15, 2008, 22:40 »
Hello,

Just wondering if anyone knows a good WEB site that may list the best Pentax lenses to have in your kit. I would like to have a good Portrait, Wide Angle, Zoom and maybe an everyday type of lense.

Appreciate any ideas.

Thanks

I have to agree with whitechild on this one. I think Kodak digital gem is the one piece I've been missing and for the price of $99 I think it is well worth it.

Thanks for your help!!!!!

Supposedly it clears up any blemishes and cleans up all the rough edges, so to speak

Video Equipment / Sofware / Technique / Portrait Software

Hello all,

I am doing more and more portrait shots and was wondering what everyone else uses to clean up the photos besides Photoshop. I've been looking at Portrait Professional and hear it is a good product.

Any ideas???

« on: August 10, 2008, 21:33 »
Don't give up, it took me 8 tries before I got in and I think the thing that did it was to say something really nice to the reviewer in the comments section. I mentioned that "I tried to upload a variety for them and that I hope they find these to their liking"

I've only been in for two weeks with about 14 photos and I've already had 24 downloads.

Never Give Up

Hi MSG-wreyn,

I did have this noted it was Friday 2:03:46pm CST  ;D

Good luck, just have the same attitude I had which is "What the heck, they'll just decline these anyway"  ;) Keep trying I'm sure it will be worth the trouble.

After 7 or 8 months of trying to get approved at Shutterstock it finally happened.
Yesterday I had about 5 minutes and sent Shutterstock 10 photos I had with no other fine tuning thinking I would be rejected again and in a matter of a few hours I get a notice back that ALL 10 PHOTOS have been approved  :D

So either they felt sorry for me and finally let me in or I got lucky and had a newbie checking pictures.  ::)

Looks like you were right epixx. It was a subscription, it was very late last night when I looked at this. Starting to wonder if I like subscriptions now.  :(

SnapVillage.com / Somethings Wrong Here
« on: July 17, 2008, 22:42 »
Hi All,

I just sold a $5.00 image on SnapVillage and my share was only .30 cents, I was getting .30cents on my $1.00 images.   

Am I wrong or should that be more? Should I drop them an email?

Thanks for your input

General Stock Discussion / Re: Overabundant Category
« on: May 21, 2008, 12:21 »
I just had iStock reject five of mine because of "An Overabundant", makes we think of staying away for awhile and concentrate more on the up-and-coming sites.

Photoshop Discussion / Signature Line
« on: April 28, 2008, 20:40 »
Hello,
Does anyone know of a good way to save a signature line in Photoshop Elements and place it on photos. Right now I just recreate it everytime, I tried to copy the layer from one photo to the next and the text does not come over.

Thanks

Hello,

Was getting ready to purchase Noiseware and wondering if Standard will work fine or if Professional is better.

Photoshop Discussion / PS Elements version 6 and Noiseware
« on: January 03, 2008, 21:50 »
Has anyone tried loading Noiseware plug-in with Version 6 of Elements? I have been trying and it looks like Elements does not see the plug-in, I am pointing it to the Plug-in directory under the Elements folder.

Photoshop Discussion / Re: Photoshop Elements Question
« on: January 01, 2008, 10:53 »
I try to stay away from Smartsharpen. With the newer version 6 of Elements the RAW converter has some new sharpen and "Fine tune" settings before you bring it into PE , so try to do most settings in there.
I stay away from anything that says auto and try to do it myself but lately I've been getting a lot more rejections.

Photoshop Discussion / Photoshop Elements Question
« on: January 01, 2008, 10:22 »
Can anyone suggest a good book or WEB site that is geared towards creating Stock Photos in Photoshop Elements?
Something that might provide good examples and is written for our business, everything I've seen is more towards the general use of Photoshop Elements.
Most of my rejections are lighting or artifact problems so just looking for a few hints to help improve my photos.

Thanks

Hey thanks Adelaide,

By the looks of your port I think you have this down pretty well

Just wondering which settings most people use when taking photos, Programable or Manual.
I try to use Manual mode the majority of the time although I get upset if I don't get the settings just right otherwise I leave my camera in programable mode to catch those shots that don't allow you the time for manual.

What are everyone's thoughts on the settings that should be used to capture the perfect shot?

New Sites - General / Re: Anyone try Shutterfarm
« on: December 17, 2007, 15:36 »
Thanks berryspun,

That was very enlightening, I may pull what I have on the site and close it. It takes them about a month to approve anything and I'm not seeing much traffic.

New Sites - General / Anyone try Shutterfarm
« on: December 17, 2007, 13:57 »
Has anyone used www.shutterfarm.com

It was my first Stock site which I've been on for about 6 months, granted I only have about 15 pictures on here right now but traffic seems to be low. Just wondering if I should dump it for a more up and coming site.
