Corel was my preferred Suite since v.4, and my v.X3 will keep on working for a long time, as I do not really need the latest version.
As to the "virtual tripod", the new shake-reversing image...

The abandoned houses start by being empty. Some time later, they suddenly get devastated, and it usually happens without anyone noticing anything out of ordinary. But hooligans and junkies always...

I'd like it to be so, but at a first glance it looks more like alternative ways to join and use the pages. When these announced features become functional, we'll probably have them explained by DPR.

I'm reminded of the well-known "Speak softly and carry a big stick" instruction. It all boils down to the rules and to sticking to those. Without that, neither softness of speaking nor the size of...

I've been using Corel Suite since v.4, and never had any need for anything else.
Perhaps it will be worth looking up, for all those disappointed with this announcement. Judging by the echoes here,...

Of course I do remember how to use a punched tape...There were endless rolls of those programmed to cut the ship hull plate segments (the first CAD/CAM!) at the shipyard... I also remember 8"...

Good, the old IT knowlege is emerging again! :) My beginnings were tied with IBM 1130, maybe someone will remember the one-plate 20" casette-shaped disk... and the first graphic station with 4'...

I hope so, but it will depend upon factors outside of my control.

The system described there is good insofar as it makes for quicker voting, but the price to pay is inadequate. The entries voted upon can be properly ranked, but the places of those not voted upon...

OK, you win. It's useless. :-D

This is just one example of automatically checkable things, along with several other numerically expressible values which would help sift the entries at the point of submission. Thus, when the...

Yes, this is one well-organized page, true. I see no reason why these pages here can't have the same quality of organization of members' photography, although the purposes differ. So, let's hope it...

The same way you find out the same picture with different metadata, and know that your entrant has been cheating. But the automated checking would warn the entrant before an entry has been posted,...

Hi, Simon, ... and thanks for the prompt and positive answer. It sure encourages us who want to keep the Challenges free of mischief. There was a lot of overly extensive discussions on this Forum...

... thus, the prescribed procedure is to notify Simon Joinson, so that these accounts can be removed.

You know there are other ways to check this... but it would at least issue a warning to the entrant at the submission point, and save the host one DQ procedure. The whole purpose of checking the...

Among the changes I have been advocating for so long, there is one which allows the host to set an arbitrary "Date Taken" value, which would allow the host to, say, select the acceptable images...

First off, the type of camera certainly has nothing to do with good photos, as the camera is just a tool, whereas the author is everything (from the choice of theme to the final expression).

Good that you have notified DPR, Pat, and obviously the situation has gotten even worse if Challenges are used for purposes outside of these pages. This situation hollers for attention, and if...
