How to Upload to the Contest Gallery

You don't.

:D

What you need to do is compile the different angles into one image, a composite photo if you would. You can do this with Photoshop or any other graphics program, or if you don't own one, you can get a free software called GIMP which is easy to use.

[Nathan Caroland]

Yup, we just delete duplicates, happens every time.

i have a question, i got an entry but not sure which catagory to put it in (1 of 2) should i stick in which i think and it will get magically moved if necessary or should i pm you first so you can pick?

I've been trying to upload some images of minis I've painted recently for the current Rotten Harvest contest, but the category does not yet exist.
Should I be uploading to the Rotten Harvest 4 categories, or should I wait until there's a new one?
Any help or explanation would be much appreciated.

I would say wait for RH 5, that way you're sure there isn't a mix up. ;)

On another note, I'm pretty sure the RH 5 galleries are open for submissions... Maybe you're looking in the wrong place?

No, I've just been a putz and not created them. Give me tonight. Busy now.

So, I downloaded GIMP, any quick pointers or help on how to make the composite image for uploading to the contest results?

[Ratty]

Create a canvas the max size you want the composite image to be.
Open each image you want to add to the composite.
In each image select the area you want with the selection box.
Copy with Ctrl+c
Paste as a layer into the composite image.
Resize, move and use the selection box to crop (if you need to) the image in each layer
Save the working file in case you need to edit
Save optimized for web as a jpg
upload jpg
