Happy Friday Dwellers! What do you want to see today?

MOD NOTE: I am planning on getting back to work with silly_narziss on the community guidelines starting next week. It's been an off one for me. I am going to say that I am underwhelmed and a tad irritated that we are still seeing posts using poor quality photography ( Read more... )

I'm thinking some editing would help with boosting quality, and by that I mean members should only post their very best photo of their very best room. Unless your broom closet has been featured in Elle Decor we don't need to see a photo of it. And if the best camera you have is your iPhone then photoshop the pics before you post (I do this all the time with my iPhone pics)! You can find good photo editors online for free; eg. Gimp.

Thank you. I do need to pull together a list of online photo editing sites. I know that Flickr and Photobucket offer some tools these days as well.

Sumo is a very photoshop-like online editor (ie: you do it all on the webpage, no software downloading required), and could be a very valuable free resource.

Ah-ha a nice webapp. Thank you!

Edit Here is a photo I took a few months back under very low light conditions with my iphone that I then PS'd, and it didn't take a lot. Sure it's a little grainy, but at least you can see everything in there and it's relatively pleasant to look at.

As do I. The set is great but we made the mistake of using wood glue as we assembled everything so we had to move the bed in it's entirety when we moved from Atlanta to Charleston. That was not so great.

Thanks!

i'm totally not trying to start an argument, but i feel that the standards for photography in this community have gotten a bit high. i appreciate the photography tips, but i don't think that people should feel that they have to be afraid to post, either. to me, that kind of takes the whole fun out of the idea of a community.

I agree. I have a DSLR and I'm afraid to post because maybe I don't have good enough lighting. (It's winter! Tough to get flooded light.)
