OK, I'm still confused, sorry :-)
when I've finished my image and the voting begins, i then have to send it to my opponent and he is going to send his full size version on to me and we then have to manipulate that image?
I thought we were going to have new images to manipulate?
I don't care either way, i'm just being a bit slow at the moment.

The winning image of the round will become the image to be edited for the next round. This will give you a chance to add to or subtract from the winning image. If you continue to win rounds, you can add to your vision. If you lose rounds, you can attempt to take away from your opponents vision, and start down your own path. I felt like that would add to the "battleground" feel of the competition. So to answer your question, yes, after voting begins, you send your uncompressed image to your opponent so that when voting ends, you will both have the winning image to work with for the next round.

Hope this clears things up.

Unfortunately annah has been having trouble receiving her image. I'm not sure if it's on my end or hers (could be a bad router ;-) ). Does anyone have an FTP site we could post to? Doc, could you try sending it to her from your end? I'm frustrated that I can't get the image to her, I was really looking forward to their battle. I'm going to provide an extension to their group if it's OK with all of the other contestants.

Lee did you ever get it to her? I have an FTP site plus I have been corresponding with her by email so I can help either way.

I'm not sure... I haven't heard back yet! I feel awful about not being able to get it to her. Can you PM me your e-mail and I'll send a copy to you to see if you can get it to her.

I'm going to do mine on the train, on my way home from work tonight. :-P

Okay got it all done. Uploaded and sent her the link plus your email to her.
In the future if it would be easier for you to just upload picture and let people grab them online, I would not mind at all giving you access to do this on my site. I also have a photo gallery that you can set up sections and password protect where you could upload the photos for people to grab and for others to exchange photos so you don't have to do so much emailing back and forth. You can also rate and comment on photos there. Just let me know if either of these would help.

Yeah, I agree. Hindsight is always 20/20... My little experiment has mushroomed much larger than I expected. I had actually planned on setting up an FTP site for future use. This is the first attempt at a challenge like this and things are a little bumpy, but seem to be progressing along. I'm learning a lot for future endeavors of this magnitude!

Just for the sake of curiosity, what editor is everyone using? I assume that PS is the majority, but I used PSP X for mine last night (though i compressed it here at work in PS CS2... i'm non-discriminatory...)

too late... when you say it's fun, the fun's over... it's like saying out loud at a party "hey! what a great party!" that's when you know it's time to go home....
