Now what? (Wallpaper submission)

December 11, 2011 10:27:28 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

I made a zip with various sizes of a photo I took and like as a wallpaper. Filled out the form and turned it all it. Nearly immediately I got a reject notice because my preview was too small. No problem. So I made a new one and turned it all in again just as before (same zip name and everything, only I didn't write as much )  So, I figured that it would take about the same amount of time as the rejection last time to either get another rejection (of which I got two - each from a different person) or see it show up on the catalog. How does someone search the catalog by the name of a person?

(I'm just kinda guessing which forum to put this under)

If you didn't receive a notice right away it means they are in moderation. It can take two to five days for a response. Being that it is the weekend you probably won't get a response before Monday when they return to work. Good luck.

Cool. Still don't answer second question. How would I search for or otherwise find an authors stuff? Put the name in the search box?

Yay, they accepted it. Although I am wondering if I used a high enough resolution. (I was trying to keep the size reasonable)

Now working on pesky, old-style Rainlendar skin. Should I post it even if it is old style?

If you indeed have five sizes in the zip and it is only .44 MB's in size, I would say the resolution could definitely be much higher. I generally only do two sizes and most of my zips are in the 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 MB's.

Also looks like there was some dirt on the lens...lol. I've been trying to wipe my screen, just to find it's part of the picture.

If the dirt is white then it is frost. (I'll look, I must have never noticed after all these years) OK, what do I do to switch it out to a better file? Is there a recommended size per photo? I'm doing the resolution at 96 as years ago that was the max a display could show, I've never looked up the flat screen (and I own three)

The dirt I speak of is in the air, above the tulips.

Sharp eyes you. Once you outlined it I knew exactly what it was. It wasn't until a month ago that I learned about dirty sensors. So, now I have gotten rid of all the smudges except one that keeps moving around. I can fix the ones that are there. I didn't think I had shot it over F10. (photo was shot 2007)

Those are lens flares - Flare is particularly caused by a very bright light sources either in the image – which produces visible artifacts – or shining into the lens but not in the image – which produces a haze.

Most commonly, this occurs when shooting into the sun (when the sun is in frame or the lens is pointed in the direction of the sun), and is reduced by using a lens hood or other shade.

I've never run into hexagonal dirt or smudges.

An example of lens flare like yours:

Doc, put yer specs on...the things I pointed to are not lens flares. I see the hexes....not what I'm pointing at.  I know a lens flare when I see one...lol.   

 

Zoom it up, from her link, it is dirt/smudge on the lens.  

 

 

LizMarr, DPI and resolution are two very different things. The res is a good size.

Sensor dust. The sensor is the mirror that is the thing that helps record the picture. There are a couple mirrors, but the sensor is the last and most important mirror-looking thing is the sensor (really isn't a mirror) When they get dirt on them you usually don't notice with photos shot at F10 or lower. If you crank the thing up past F20 you can see every sneeze. So... Mr. Eagle Eyes spied a sneeze.  The camera, just in the two weeks, finally got its sensor cleaned. I shot three days in a row at excess of 22 and other than a tiny spot that I knew was there, there were no sneezes. The spot will be easy to camouflage.
