    Adding Member's Photos to Download Section

    Since we have a lot of incredible photographers as members here, how would you guys like to add some of their pics as wallpapers to the download section? If there is an interest maybe we can set something up.

    If the members in question have no problem sharing, I think it is a good idea. Some of the guys are either pro or semi-pro and may not want to share copywrited material.

    I was thinking more of maybe a quarterly contest, where members not staff submit their photo entries. And the members vote for a winner. The winner then becomes a new wallpaper download.

    I think it is a great idea. But having said that, the last time we had a photo contest - no one entered. We would need to promote it pretty well to get entries.

    I think that the problem with the last one was your entries were so good it scared off other entries. Maybe the current members are more up for the challenge.

    I was thinking of it being a members only deal, no staff.

    Why can't people just right click the photos they like and save as?

    Personally, if someone wanted a full res pic, they could PM me.

    UW has a good point about right clicking, but on the other hand, photo contests are fun! I'm down. Now, to figure out how to watermark my photos...

    I like the idea of a contest. What might make it more interesting is if the staff chooses a topic or theme. Limiting what can be submitted will show different interpretations.

    create an image and over lay it then change the transparency till it acts as a watermark and merge the layers
    My only fear is that when I die.... my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them!!!!

    Thanks for the info. Is this something one can do using the limited editing tools found in iPhoto? For as many photos as i take, i do very little editing (mostly cropping, red eye removal, and the occasional experiment with adjusting color/tint/B&W, etc., all of which i do in iphoto). I'm a bit embarrassed to say i don't even have a basic version of PhotoShop, or any other dedicated photo editing software.
