UK GD\' 06 Giant (comments welcome too!)

[OrkyDave]

Hiya, I have a dilemma I am hoping someone will be kind enough to sort out for me if they have a spare 10 minutes or so!!!!

I have finally managed to take some semi- decent pictures of myu giant that I entered into Golden Demon 06, and would like to get him in my gallery. The only trouble is I stuck a load of gobbo\'s on and there is no way I can show them all in one picture!!

I have absolutley no photo editing software that will let me cut and paste type thingy onto one picture, and I know how much it peeves people having multiple shots in galleries! If anyone can help me get as much of the detail into one voteable puicture I would be most greatful!

If peolpe would like to comment on the painting too, please feel free!

See what I mean! If anyone can assist thank you so, so much!

Comments appreciated too!

Well, I\'m not sure I can give you step by step advice, but if you don\'t have a photo editing program, you should download GIMP. It is free.

I don\'t know the exact steps, but you can create multiple images using a Layers function. So basically you could do a front, back and profile view linked together as one image, and then have smaller inset views added in to show the details.

It probably will take you awhile to get familiar with the program, so I don\'t think 10 minutes is realistic - Sorry!

Impressive job!

Do you have windows XP (grrr microsoft)? Mine came with photo editor and Publisher, Change the sizes in photo editor, and cut and paste the images in Publisher.
I also remember someone saying that although there\'s a limit to width on CMON, there\'s no limit to length, if that helps.
Love the gobbos, but is that not a really obvious joint between the head and neck, I don\'t know what the mini\'s like, so I could be wrong there.

The gimpdownloading instructions may well have been written in Hebru for the ammount of sense they made to me.

Also If I don\'t have enough memory to even play Dawn of war will my computer cope with a programme like this?

Looks like I will have to revert to the printer, scissors, prit stick and scanner.

Thanks anyway Triede and Hubba.

P.s- Having seen Pulp fiction I was very dubious about googling \'Gimp\'!

Great looking mini and some great photos, but there is a slight problem: they\'re too big, file size-wise.

I\'m not entirely sure if there\'s some other way to do it, but according to CMON, file size is 200kb max for uploads; the smallest size you have in those pictures is 258kb (the largest is 402kb). Posting all of them in a single picture, even with resizing them, would probably put it way over that unless you made them much, much smaller; however, that would probably make them too small to see or make out some the great details on it.

Maybe someone knows how to compress the pics enough without losing the details or some way around the file limits. Just something to keep in mind.
