I know this may be a little too much to ask, but can I ask that everyone should take screenshots instead of snapshots, this way the photos are at a higher resolution, and the quality doesn't get decompressed when I have to resize them and put them on a template. For the Sims 3 candidate, that's fine because the shots are already large. Examples High resolution (taken with FRAPS)  Low Resolution (taken with in game camera)  And this is what they look like on presentation Okay this is how I've sorted out the calendar, based on the first page nominations. I've taken out Slade Fernmore since I haven't updated Twinbrook in a while  Anyway, let me know if I've missed anyone Calendar Version 11. January-Men of Fallen 2. February-Alfonso 3. March- Talson 4. April- Zaelem 5. May-Quest 6. June-Krisis 7. July-Luke 8. August-Piaget 9. September-Nicoli 10. October-Jace 11. November-Tristan and Abel (both in the same story, like the men of Fallen) 12. December-Wilson and Ramone (both in the same story, like Fallen?) Or there could be two versions of the calendar, with this list as option 2. In version 1 December will be Wilson alone, and in version 2 Ramone will be alone? And for November, in one version Tristan will be alone, and in the other Abel will be alone. What do ya'll think? Calendar Version 21. January-Men of Fallen 2. February-Alfonso 3. March- Talson 4. April- Zaelem 5. May-Quest 6. June-Krisis 7. July-Luke 8. August-Piaget 9. September-Nicoli 10. October-Jace 11. November-Abel 12. December-Ramone Who is Luke again? If he's in C to F, then it would make sense to group all Holley's men from the same story, the same would apply to Qui's nominations For sims in the same story, group shots will work best. I've taken a group shot of the men of Fallen, that way I don't have to compress each sim's photo on a canvass, and it looks neat. |

Shoot! I didn't take mine as screenshots! I'll have to do it over tonight when I get home.
I was thinking that no one would be assigned a specific month - we'd just have a "top page" of each sim alone, then we can put them with a "bottom" calendar page ourselves.
I think, if you did your version 2, we could probably pull that off.
Luke is Puddinroy & Nancy's alien legacy founder, but I don't know if they're submitting him or not - I never saw a reply about it.

So if we're not adding months then is just screenshots alone? I don't need to put a calendar template? That's what I had initially and then there was something about keeping the calendar format. If we don't put the calendar, then it's not a calendar format anymore, it's just a presentation of the the guys in their normal clothing and swimwear/undies? Please can someone clarify what needs to be done? |

Sorry, I didn't see this, mine were snapshots. I'll take some with Fraps then. Do you want them still as large bmp files or compressed to JPEG's?
As to what this was going to be, I thought it was to be a calendar like last time.

I've taken my shots the largest they'll go in my game, I'll send them to you in the next few hours, Val, then if they're too small or not right I can reshoot before I go tomorrow afternoon.  I thought it was a calendar too? But if there's too many guys it might be a 'make your own' calendar. |

I was just thinking the actual calendar page would be separate from the photo page, so that we could pick and choose. Like maybe I want Krisis for January, but Jo wants him for June. Or maybe she wants Quest but I want Jace.
Maybe it's me that's confused.

Okay let me tell you guys what I can do, I'll put the shots on a template without the calendar and anyone who wants to make a calendar can then just look for calendar templates on line and print them out?
So it will be on a power-point slide show/presentation with just the shots only. Two pictures of the nominees combined into one on a single page on the presentation?
Does that sound good?

Sounds fine to me, I've sorted the shots but can't make my mind up, so I'll send you 2 or 3 of both poses and let you decide, Val. It'll probably be later today now, but I have done them, promise. |

Sounds good to me, too. I'm having the same problem with the shots I took last night, but I have to re-do them anyway as screen shots, so I'll probably end up with something completely different anyway! Lol! |

Sounds good to me too! That's the way I was thinking. I burnt the crap out of my hand last night. Second degree burns on the palm and four fingers of my left hand  I most likely won't get my pictures done until next week. Sorry. |

Sent you Piaget's pictures Val, sorry there's so many, I couldn't make my mind up.
If they need redo-ing, can you let me know tonight? I should be online until around 11pm. Thanks! ;D

Nope! We love it! Lol!
Nancy has asked if you want borders on the pics or not, Val.
Also, I just pm'd my PB link again - can you have a look & see which of the 1st 6 on the page will be what you need size/content wise? I'm leaning towards the ladder shots, but I'll leave it up to you.
