WaltherFII've got a nice photo in my macro set that i've been editing for a dozen of times to different degrees and ended up with high-contrast black and white10:25
WaltherFIbut what should the export resolution be?10:25
coz_WaltherFI,  well you could make it in the standard resolution formats10:25
coz_let me find the links  although the contest link is in the topic10:25
WaltherFIsomeone said that it should be 2560*1600, instead of for example 1920*108010:26
WaltherFIwhich is, 8:5 against 16:910:26
WaltherFIquite much limits how i should crop the photo10:26
coz_WaltherFI,   well if you upload the image to flickr for ubuntu   , and if it is picked,, the required resolutions will be givine to you10:27

palhmbsI'm having problems with text over graphics & researching the problem is proving difficult.23:14
palhmbscurrently this site imo looks pretty good - http://3sixtynz.com/ -- but the client doesn't like my paintbrush effect to make the text stand out,  so I've gotta give them some options to make it more effective....23:15
