Hm, I got three vouches. May my photo please be part of the header image collection?
Thank you

(happy sorting afterwards! )

Oh the sorting is the easy part- it's getting away unscathed with all that weight that might be a challenge


but you really didn't take a pic pre-sort of everything dumped on a stack? dissapoint :'(

Good start, now dump it all on your table in a nice pile with an interesting shape, shoot that, make header out of it, swipe switches back into blackbox; 10 points!

Put some new ones in rotation. This page always shows the current images in use. Thanks for your contributions!

testing this one, cropped from 7bit's box pic: Aww, too blurry I think.

Cool, can you add voting?

We've had a poll before. The problem with that is, how do you expire the votes over time while getting new votes?

I don't know; sounds like a funny puzzle. How about weighing votes with recent visits?

I think the current method is better, some might upvote shitty pics, like the Hello Kitten ( ) pic.

Thanks for removing it, BTW.

I have a couple of relatively good shots but my photoshop skills are just so weak!

Only stuff I did to mine in photoshop was to resize them to the correct dimensions

Yeah that is where I am failing

You better use GIMP!
Photoshop is overpriced amateur crap which can't compete with professional free software!

BTW: Your pictures remind me more of a football stadium than a keyboard. Are you sure you photographed a keyboard?

Not loving the grass?

GIMP can't open .CR2s last time I checked sadly

What are CR2s?

A Nikon user wouldn't know.
.CR2 ist the RAW format of Canon.

I knew dat. sho NEF!

Try ufraw, or if you don't like it RawTherapee, ufraw is an addon for GIMP, RawTherapee is standalone, but both are free software (free as in free beer and as in free speech). They're both based on the dcraw backend, which is pretty good.
I use it for NEF and for RW2 (Panasonic Lumix FZ100 raw format), and it works pretty well.

LOL!!!

Get a Nikon or a Fuji and forget RAW-format!

Shoot film for RealRAW!

Terribly sorry if you don't like my choice of camera
First foray into the world of DSLRs

Just got ufraw, doesn't look too bad, I have no idea what I'm doing in photoshop anyways really, so I'm sure it's more than good enough

You don't honestly own a DSLR just to shoot in JPEG?
That's like owning a Audi R8 for driving around the block at 30km/h...

A couple from the keyboard meet today:

^ Thanks all, put some new ones in rotation.

Thanks!

What about the last one (Shift, Control, Alt)?

I didn't pick it, but if more people endorse it, I'll add it.

That one is IMHO nicer than the one that got included.
