Title: Useful Features For Competition Work
Post by: Terry-M on October 27, 2009, 09:56:18 PM
I belong to a local photographic society and like to enter the competitions.
This season I've started to use the Album feature as a way of keeping tabs on possible entries for each of the competitions.
Just recently I've been preparing an entry for a Panel of Five Prints. It's not an easy task to, a) select a theme and, b) select the images for any of the themes.
Albums have enabled me to segregate images for 3 possible themes and  Ratings are helping me to remember choices within an Album.
Another feature which is proving very useful is Print to File. I have simulated complete panels of 5 images so I can see what a set of prints might look like when all are arranged together. Not only can I see, but friends not involved in the competition can give an opinion too.  :o  See 2 examples attached below.
Of course the final and most useful feature is making the prints themselves. Wish me luck  ;)
Terry.

Terry,
That is some good work.
There is supposed to be a poll feature in the forum.
Perhaps, it would be fun for the members to select a or b which to submit in the competition.

Trouble is I've got another 20 possible options  ::)
This year, I seemed to have far more choices that last year despite not doing any big trips.

I presume you are using Qimage albums.

Never thought of that use,  I think the  two  panels posted would do very well, they are very good.  We seem to get a lot of panel demos at our local club - RBcamera club http://www.rbcameraclub.co.uk/  three of my efforts are in the studio gallery.
