Post your deskthority header images here

Hm, I got three vouches. May my photo please be part of the header image collection?
Thank you

Oh the sorting is the easy part- it's getting away unscathed with all that weight that might be a challenge

but you really didn't take a pic pre-sort of everything dumped on a stack? dissapoint :'(

Good start, now dump it all on your table in a nice pile with an interesting shape, shoot that, make header out of it, swipe switches back into blackbox; 10 points!

Put some new ones in rotation. This page always shows the current images in use. Thanks for your contributions!

Cool, can you add voting?

webwit · 08 Jun 2012, 00:42

We've had a poll before. The problem with that is, how do you expire the votes over time while getting new votes?

Icarium · 08 Jun 2012, 00:44

I don't know; sounds like a funny puzzle. How about weighing votes with recent visits?

7bit · 08 Jun 2012, 10:22

I think the current method is better, some might upvote shitty pics, like the Hello Kitten (

) pic.

Thanks for removing it, BTW.

I have a couple of relatively good shots but my photoshop skills are just so weak!

GeorgeStorm · 10 Jun 2012, 19:56

Only stuff I did to mine in photoshop was to resize them to the correct dimensions

longweight · 10 Jun 2012, 19:59

Yeah that is where I am failing

You better use GIMP!
Photoshop is overpriced amateur crap which can't compete with professional free software!

BTW: Your pictures remind me more of a football stadium than a keyboard. Are you sure you photographed a keyboard?

Not loving the grass?

GeorgeStorm · 10 Jun 2012, 20:07

GIMP can't open .CR2s last time I checked sadly

What are CR2s?

Acanthophis · 10 Jun 2012, 20:09

A Nikon user wouldn't know.
.CR2 ist the RAW format of Canon.

ripster · 10 Jun 2012, 20:11

I knew dat. sho NEF!

RC-1140 · 10 Jun 2012, 20:12

Try ufraw, or if you don't like it RawTherapee, ufraw is an addon for GIMP, RawTherapee is standalone, but both are free software (free as in free beer and as in free speech). They're both based on the dcraw backend, which is pretty good.
I use it for NEF and for RW2 (Panasonic Lumix FZ100 raw format), and it works pretty well.

LOL!!!

Get a Nikon or a Fuji and forget RAW-format!

Shoot film for RealRAW!

GeorgeStorm · 10 Jun 2012, 20:22

Terribly sorry if you don't like my choice of camera

First foray into the world of DSLRs

Just got ufraw, doesn't look too bad, I have no idea what I'm doing in photoshop anyways really, so I'm sure it's more than good enough

Acanthophis · 10 Jun 2012, 20:24

You don't honestly own a DSLR just to shoot in JPEG?
That's like owning a Audi R8 for driving around the block at 30km/h...

Thanks!

What about the last one (Shift, Control, Alt)?

webwit · 02 Jul 2012, 00:01

I didn't pick it, but if more people endorse it, I'll add it.

That one is IMHO nicer than the one that got included.
