If we put them on Flickr (or even here for discussion), that's also a possibility. Just one of the things that goes along with photography in this era.
Best protection method is for everyone to not put up any images that we might want to sell/publish/etc. at a later date.

― You’re going off of her word that the farmer’s wife is the farmer’s wife? (dyao), Friday, 23 July 2010 01:33 (thirteen years ago) link
Sounds fine. If uploading RAW, what is the purpose of the jpg and can I make it small/low quality?
I also apologize in advance for lack of post-processing skills. I'll set an evening aside and read up.

I just remembered - I think I asked for a JPG because I don't think everybody here is using a program capable of handling RAW files? Is there anybody who will be postprocessing with something other than Lightroom/Aperture/Photoshop?

I'd also be open to extending the submission deadline, if people need more time!
Couldn't seem to choose from old photos so just picked one fairly randomly from a handful of snaps I took today in the local park. CR2/DNG/JPEG - on its way to that gmail address now.

― not_goodwin, Sunday, 1 August 2010 22:55 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah - I'm trying to figure out how to divvy up the postprocessing. thinking about randomly assigning everybody 3 photos to postprocess - that way, there won't be *that* much work. on the other hand, we have 9 entries right now (11 if we include not_goodwin and gbx, whenever he gets around to sending one in!) - so maybe the load won't be *that* great. thoughts?
I'll e-mail everybody who's sent one in the password tonight
(sorry, we probably should have chosen a more organized person to do this! heh heh)
not_goodwin - just send a photo you'd like to see postprocessed by others to ilp✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧ (pref. RAW)

― "It's far from 'lol' you were reared, boy" (darraghmac), Monday, 2 August 2010 02:53 (thirteen years ago) link
8-10 isn't too many for me, either, and I think it would be interesting to see everyone's interpretations of all the images.
Perhaps one post on here with all the base JPGs, then each of us could post up our versions on Flickr/PBucket/etc. (with proper attributions, etc. - and maybe we could all take them down off Flickr in a couple of weeks?).
Is there an ILXor Flickr group? That might streamline the posting process.
― a cross between lily allen and fetal alcohol syndrome (milo z), Monday, 2 August 2010 05:34 (thirteen years ago) link
no, but I could make one...
will download all the files tonight, compile them into a zip and upload to mediafire, and e-mail everybody the link.
I looked into giving everybody the password to either a dropbox or gmail account but it looks like it's against the ToS and the account could get shutdown if they detect too many logins at once. \(O_o)/

mine are up, added them to the discussions as well. Really delighted by the variety of processing techniques.

I've even had people favouriting it in my photostream! Had to explain that I didn't take it...
This is why i set up another account, didn't want to confuse people and myself.
Also, if someone said "this is the best shot you've ever taken, miles better than your usual stuff" i don't know what i'd do :(
― not_goodwin, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 10:18 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, thanks to dyao for doing this.My attempts last night were done as a batch in Lightroom - i.e., I came up with a preset of my own and applied to all the images. Which is how I tend to use Lightroom!I spent a little while with a couple of images in Photoshop today, dealing with them individually, but they need a bit more time if I were going to put them up.
