Calendar Submissions 2012 Closed, see new discussion

[Camilla and Darwin]

Well, it may be a TAD early but Joanne mentioned that it was about time for a calendar discussion and I agree! You can never start too early!

Post your photos for critique, ideas or suggestions here. As well as any other questions about composition, editing, or anything like that. There are some seriously talented photographers in this group, it's great to take advantage of their knowledge! Below is a link to the photo guidelines from last year for submitting photos. I will post an update if the guidelines are different when Adina posts about it this year.

Also, it may be helpful for any who had their photos in the calendar last year, to post the photos they submitted, and the chosen photos. Then everyone can get a better idea of what works and what doesn't.

Jennifer, I was only using iPhoto as an organizer,not an editor. I have Photoshop CS5. I stopped using iPhoto when I realized it isn't compatible really with PS. I need to take the time to move the photos I have in iPhoto out but just haven't taken the time.

Sometimes being clueless is a good thing :)

Does Picasa work for Apple? I use a MacBook Pro but I run Windows 7 on it and Almost never go to the Apple OS. But Picasa makes life pretty easy And I send things from My windows libraries to DK all the time.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I cannot navigate Picasa at all. I have been trying to do a collage of my Calendar pictures and have given up on Picasa. I miss Picnik so much! I found it so much easier.

Laurie,  Picassa is very user friendly.   If you select the photos you want for a collage and "hold" them in the tray...go to create...then collage....where are you getting hung up.  Maybe I can help you.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Carol, When I go to the collage menu...it already shows ALL my pictures in a huge collage. It won't let me clear and start over. I did one last year, but having no luck this year.

Laurie, I have had the problem with pictures all showing up in the collage feature too, ever since I upgraded to the newest version.  There is a tab at the top of the collage feature says, "remove all", that clears the palette and you can bring over whatever pictures you want  to use.  Sometimes the one's you just saved to pull in will all come over together and you can keep or remove from there.

Thank you!! I did get it figured out today thanks to all the help everyone gave me.
