Awesome. Glad to see another books coming. My coffee table was starting to look dated.
Any idea on price for this edition?

Yes, sadly true. We had technical problems, manpower issues etc etc. But I have everything lined up this time and I am 100% sure that we will be able to get this complete this time. Just a matter of getting better pics from the members with high scores, get the book laid out and off to the printers we go...
Whenever we submit for these things there\'s a 300DPI requirement, which is fine! Nothing Photoshop can\'t handle of course. But what photo dimensions are you looking for this time around? I need to take some new photos (you can see dust and a dog hair on my Demon winners when you look at them full size!) so whatever size you want I can accommodate easily.

I got an invitation for a model submitted in March this year. Is that intentional? Do you still want that figure?

Your list is longer than the email in my case- i know my own fault
I have, wait for it, ONE! Woooo! :drunk: Actually, I am well chuffed by this, and it\'s actually a real incentive to see if I can\'t do even better this year (not bloody likely, at the rate I paint! lol).
By the by, are you going to print every submission you receive? It\'s hard to tell from the guidelines but I\'m guessing not from this phrase \"But the more you submit the better chance you will make it in the annual.\".

Holy shizzle! I got 2:O This is new to me and I was surprised when i got the e-mails..
I will most certainly buy it when its going to be sold!!!
So I have got 2 e-mails but those 2 are for my \'eldar falcon\' and my \'eldar falcon details\' pictures on here. Should I just send the complete image of the \'eldar falcon\' and is it optional to send the \'details\' after it or do I just have to send the pic of the falcon?

I was very pleased and honoured to receive a mail inviting me to submit some pictures, but I had a few questions I wasn\'t clear on.
Can we edit 72dpi pictures up to 300dpi in PhotoShop? I no longer have several of the minis I was invited to submit in my possession.
I\'m not even sure what to change on my camera to retake pictures of the ones I do still have, to be honest. I take photos at the highest quality next to raw format.
Also I\'m assuming you want pictures that we consider ready to print, I mean that we should be doing our own colour correction and whatever other adjustments we make to get a picture posting ready.
I\'m very excited to hear there will be another annual, the first one has been a great inspiration to me!

didn\'t realise I\'d submitted so many in 08 that qualified ..
unfortunately probably won\'t be able to submit due to not having decent pics (I have to clear up pics off of my laptop on a fairly regular basis.and I don\'t keep many minis..

I know there must be endless questions. To answer a few.
1) Not sure if you can make a 72 dpi pic into a 300 dpi. Someone with a better knowledge of photoshop might be able to tell you.
2) I am not sure how many entries will be in the final version of the annual. It all depends on how many people will submit better pics, and from there, we will have to decide how many page we want the book to be. So in short, there are no sure thing.
3) In general, better pics, bigger pics will always win out at the end.
I guess if I were a good painter and I painted something that is worth a 8.0 or more on CMON (which by the way as all of you know is not an easy task) I would take some nice pics if I were to sell it. But, I guess that\'s just me.
I know we failed to compile an annual for the last few years, but rest assure that from now on this will be a yearly thing. So if you think your submissions are going to get high scores, I would surely put away some decent hi res pics just in case you make the cut next year.

Hi guys... I felt very honored to recive an invitation... I would love to see even one of my creations in the CMON book.
I got 2 question ...
I dont have the actual mini but I have an old photo. I\'m not sure what is the dpi but it\'s a 1600x1200. Can someone tell me how to find out for sure... And... The photo that I have has a blue-to-white background made in Photoshop is that a problem (which I need to fix) or do you guys are going to either fix it or leave it???
Thanks again for noticing my work...

Yes, just go to (this may be different for you- I have Photoshop 7) Image> Image Size... , just like you\'re going to resize it. Untick the \"Resample Image\" box (you don\'t want to resize it, just change the resolution) then enter 300 in the Resolution box. This shouldn\'t actually change the size of the image (you will not add or lose pixels) but just alters how big printers and such see the file as. That is, if it change sthe quantity of pixels, undo it and make sure there is no check mark in the \"Resample Image\" box. (And be aware that Photoshop might remember that you unticked it, so when you go to actually resize a photo later, you\'ll have to make sure to check the box again.)
The only real issue you may have is if you\'ve cropped it down to web sizes for posting and no longer have the original. For example, if you have a 500 pixel wide image to post on CMON, at the standard 72dpi for web, it will be about seven inches wide (depending on how your monitor\'s resolution is set) on your screen. Change the resolution to 300dpi for print, and it will show up in the book at only 1.6 inches. This probably won\'t be an issue, though, if you have the original camera files and are using the largest size/best quality- they\'ll be plenty big enough.
