Hello, can you tell me how you get the "raw shot" to the size that meets the contest requirements without resizing the picture?

If you open it in paint or something, it usually drops to around 130k.  ;)

There are several great tutorials on resizing screenshots, and even if you're keeping the size the parts about saving it with the correct size will still be applicable, have a look at this thread: http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1268695162

Love the shot too :) Fantastic aircraft!

Sweet shot!  Sweet wings!

Very nice first!  Took me may 6 or 7 (hundred!) attempts to get one "right" before I had the courage to post one or two.....let alone enter the monthly with one.

I set my screen rez to 1024x768x32, AA on (always anyway), and frame rate 'bout 60.  (Overclocked to the gills BTW!)

I just pick the angle and stuff and hit the "v" four or five times, open the best one with Paint, name it and save it, then voila, a shot is 'born'.

That's a super shot for a first attempt Steve.

These questions should really be in a separate topic. I suspect you're trying to upload the shot as an attachment. Try uploading it here & follow the instructions ---> Upload Images
