Join in Creatively - Check it Out!

Jodi came up with a great idea that we are now ready to implement starting on the 16th.

I have 19 names from the other thread where all this was developed and brought to reality. So if you signed up there you're still on my talent list.

This is open to anyone who wants to participate. We are creating a document that each person gets to contribute to so that the end is a culmination of many talents.

DIAL-UP -- we'd like to offer you the chance to go early in the game, mainly because this file will be huge and down/upload times can be trying when you are on dial-up So if you have dial-up PM me so I can make a note of your name and your connectivity.

The rules are pretty basic:
1. Each person gets one layer to use (this can be multiple layers merged into one).
2. Each person gets an opportunity to work on the file before the next person is notified
3. Each person's work is their own layer and it wouldn't hurt to put your forum name as the layer name, so if someone likes the effect they can get in touch with you for further discussion.
4. When you are finished with your turn PM me so I can let the next person on the list know it is time to be creative.
5. The final outcome will be posted to pixentral to save me some bandwidth on my website.

I'll post the instructions for the website use in the next topic -- so it will be near the top for easy reference.

Website access and guidelines.

It has been discovered that when uploading the file you must wait until the file name appears on the page before it is complete. If you don't wait it will generate an error when the next person downloads.

File name will be project00 to start and then be incremented by 1 (project01, 02, etc. There is a rename field for this purpose because the file won't overwrite an existing file. I'll manage the files by deleting the older ones. This way we won't have any OOPS! disappointments.

The file is downloaded using the down-arrow next to the file name and you'll always want to download the file with the highest number to its name.

UPLOAD NOTE: Upload seems to be slow so give it time to work.
DOWNLOAD -- seems to run pretty fast so it is OK. Also be sure to click on the down arrow next to the file -- clicking the filename may not work according to our test experience.

Additional Note: The upload only accepts a PSD file so no other file type can be uploaded -- this is a Photoshop Elements Project so that is the only file format we need.

When it is your turn use the following URL to access the storage site for our project.



I believe the URL is right now -- sorry for any frustrations.

Will, you are the best ! ..I know I've told you that over an over but it's true...you are amazing ! Thanks again for all you have done. Will Presley for President !!!

...I wanted to mention...this is a scrapbook page..we all need to ad a 'little' something. Eventually it will be completely filled.

Please be considerate of others when adding images to the canvas.

Jodi,

I have been away so am not up to date on this ... is the final thing going to be one scrapbook page? and does that mean that we each just add a little bit to the image ??

Oh help


Wendy

[Jodi Frye]

Wendy, yup, that's pretty much it ! ..a group project if you wish.

You will have your chance to download the file and add a little something to it...then you will upload it for the next person in line to work on it. It will stay in layers and all participants will be adding one.

Even just adding one little embelishment is good. It's a scrapbook page and we know there are plenty of trinkest and embelishments to go with the photos/images...whichever you decide to add is up to you. Just have fun with it !

PS try not to spill too much glue

[Wendy]

Well it is Tuesday the 16th of August in parts of the world and since we're an international group that means it is time to begin working on the Scrapbook Page project we've all signed up for.

Jodi it is time to start the creation -- I'll know when you are done because there are no pictures on the website at this time.

Are we then proceeding in any particular order of people?

[Jodi Frye]

I'm on it Will
