I appreciate all of the new images submitted for the banner.

Unfortunately, there needs to be a new rule to help me out significantly. Anyone can feel free to keep posting up their favorite shots in large scale, but I'm now asking for people who want in the banner to please put it in the correct size. It will save me an enormous amount of time resizing and trying to get something to look decent from sometime... large files.

This is all I ask - please make your image
577x71 in size.


If you have photoshop or an image editing program, open up a new file that size and then drag your photo into that window. Then you will see what needs done to resize, or edit the image to look decent. You'll see that sometimes it's not so easy to get a great shot.

If you don't have photoshop, you can still resize to that size for me. Example - if you gave me this



I will be able to add a small fade on the left side like this


to have a finished product something like this.


if you have photoshop - you can take that step and make the fade how you'd like it to be placed and such.

Then just save the file as a jpg image and add it to this ongoing thread. Not only will this help save a lot of time for me, it'll also allow you to compose the image for the banner. Sometimes easier said than done.

I appreciate all of your help and understanding here.

Again - I'd love to still see great images put up here full scale if you have them. Just realize that they also need to be resized if you want them in the header for the site. Editing hundreds of images each update takes countless hours.
