    Competition Rules:

     
    1. Your entry must not have a background/backdrop/scene; just the object on a transparent canvas. Shadows and reflections are fine.

    With 3 different forum themes, hence 3 different backgrounds, the "no background" rule is problematic. Contestants cannot know how if their entry will be viewed (and judged) like they intended, because they cannot know what theme/background each member will view their entry with.

     

    Perhaps the rule can be changed and a plain (single colour, no gradient, no frame) background is allowed.

    (Alternatively, I can be stipulated that all entries must be viewed and judged using the default forum theme, but that's not going to happen).

     

     

    One more thing while I have the floor:

    The entry images in the voting topic for OotF display smaller than the 600 px limit allowed. Image properties still show the original dimensions but they display smaller. (Try side by side windows of the entry and voting topics, same browser, same monitor). 

    I think it's unfair for the effort put in by all members who enter, to be judged on an image that does not display like it was created. 

     

     

    Yet one more (yes, back off, the mic is mine!):

    This thread is for posting competition entries only. If you're not posting an entry, please don't post here.

     

    If you want to talk about any of the entries, or ask a question regarding the competition, you can do so in the discussion thread found here.

    Hosts, please do not allow anything but an entry image per post in the entry topic. Everything else can be posted / discussed here.

    How to preserve an existing Animated GIF with other images?

    in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions

    Posted

    Align Centre each layer of an existing animated gif may not work for all images (obviously it works for the one in this example). Depending on the animation, you may not want the object to be centered on each frame, for example in a bouncing ball animation).

     

    In cases like this, I always default to @MadJik's Paneling plugin.

    Use the plugin to position the object on the first frame and repeat for the object on each of the other layers. The plugin settings stick after each use, so simply click on the next layer in the Layers window and hit Ctrl+F.

    Forum software just upgraded to Invision Community 4.5.1, might have some bugs

    I find the notification that appears between posts for large time gaps and topic renames to be visual clutter.

    I like the notifications and I find them informative. I'd like one more, if possible: A notification when the first post of a topic is edited (mostly useful for plugin topics and tutorials).

    2. I also notice there are no spaces between the 'sig' competition entries in the voting/winners sections?
    Wouldn't a one line gap between images be less visually distracting and more attractive?

    I agree that the images in the competitions voting topics should be separated by a line gap. A poster can always insert a blank line between images, so perhaps the competition hosts can see to that.

    BUT, I would not like like a gap to be forced between images. I can think of instances where a member would prefer to have two or more images stacked vertically without a gap between them.

     

     

    EDIT:

    Just now, on the Saving an enlarged image topic, I found an example where the new forum notifications can be very useful:
