D'oh! Thanks Ken. And for those who aren't sure where that path url came from - right-click on your DPC image and look at the properties of the image itself.

Ken - Thanks for once again sharing your creative talents.

I just tried using your image 'previewer' and it didn't work with the following image url.

//www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=190987

The image is in one of my portfolio folders - not hidden, is viewable to public. What's up with that?

You need the path to the image:

Seems to me more like holding your photo over the same fireplace, but with a vase on the left side of the mantel rather than the right. The differences between a voting page and viewing full-size in the Workshop are trivial. Your image could be affected more by a distracting desktop background surrounding a small browser window on the viewer's screen than any difference between these two pages. To each his own, though, and kpriest performed a thoughtful service for anyone who needs such a literal visualization tool.

Fortunately, we don't 'NEED' it yet...we can still preview our challenge submissions on DPC once it's uploaded. ;^)

I don't get his, I really don't. How does your pic on DPC differs from the way it looks on ur hard drive??? "Oh the background and the layout of the page make it look different!" Oh come on! Tons of ppl say that the title itself, which is directly linked to your image (or at least was suposed to), doesn't make a difference on how ppl rate ur image! Talk about the layout or background then! Like we say in Brazil, "ppl are making a storm on a glass of water", there is no need for such a thing, as the results will be the same! The backgroung of DPC is GREY, light GREY, how could that distract the viewers attention!?

If your pic looks like crap on ur harddrive, it'll look like crap on DPC, and vice-versa, if it looks good!
