Here forthwith are the 2012 holiday Pairings ! Thank you again everyone for signing up! This will be our biggest year yet! Let’s make it AWESOME!!!!
A little background on the “how” of matching: The pairings were made this year using the rand() function in Microsoft Excel. I created random numbers for each user using the random function then sorted one half randomly, then sorted the other half randomly and then matched the two halves. I took into account requests for domestic partners ( vs Int’l). If there is a mistake – please let me know via PM and I will do my best to help!Please post your Works-in-Progress ( W.I.P’s) and finals here and if you like, when you get your painting – post a photo of you with your new holiday gift! Remember the goal is to have these complete and on their way by the first week in December. So get your photos sent as soon as you are able! ( via personal email ).
and now..
the list:
drum roll.. dldldldldldldldldldldldld
Please read: I hope you are are excited to get going! Now – on to getting photos that match the type and quality listed at the beginning of the Announcement thread – shot and off to your swap partner. I suggest you send several images of yourself ( get some help with the shooting part please!) and make sure you follow the directions. These are best sent via your email and not through the pm system ( size limitations).
Your partner should NOT get snapshot-quality images – they should be carefully lit photos with no flash, no direct,frontal lighting and several image options for them to consider! If you do not send good reference images, your partner may ask for good form-light and shadows so they have something clear to draw or paint. I suggest you set exposure compensation/Exposure Adjustment to minus .7 or minus 1 to ensure no blown-out lights as well!
Thank you everyone again for joining in this our biggest year and well – here we go!!

I think anything from around 300k per image to 1mb is fine. Bigger is not really needed and smaller may degrade how much information can be seen.
