Yes, thanks! Tell me, do you ever use Dropbox? Chi and I share in-process files of larger sizes that way. I don't really use Drive, but I suppose I could... it just doesn't integrate with my Linux systems the way Dropbox does.

Sure. I use the free 2G there to sync private stuff between some of my computers. How would you prefer to share this? Do you want me to create a shared folder or should I upload this somewhere?

PM the email address you use for your Dropbox to Solo; he'll share the folder with your account.

I've created the directory and moved images there. Even added a few new ones. Since I have enjoyed doing these I'll probably go on a make some more. Be warned that I may run out of steam at any time.

I'm picking simple equipment items that I imagine are suitable in the EE. But feel free to just ignore stuff or use in any accessory or module.

I've edited the existing PNGs to reduce the whitespace, set to 300 DPI, and scaled to around 4" wide. A few don't scale up too well at that size (throwing axe, bottles), and may need to be reduced.

Ack. I just read something I didn't like.

borgar, you say you moved the images.
Chi, you say you edited the images.

In general, I try to never save over the original of an image, as each time you tinker with one you affect the quality. If borgar actually moved his images to the folder, keeping no backups, then Chi, you have saved over his originals.

We need to be careful with this stuff. Never save originals in the Project folder... always keep a copy somewhere outside of it. Too many of us have access. And when editing images, always try to keep the original; I usually add -final or something to the end of my revised images. I DO rename the images, mainly to add the artist's name so I don't forget where I got them.

OKAY, if I'm seeing this right, you only edited the PNG images, not the XCF originals, so we should be okay.

Whew.

Correct, I'm only editing the exported PNGs. 8-)
