I have started praying for the site to crash

p.s. I have judged all 47 entries so far and have a running order but I have now started drinking whisky (neat) so any judging of entries from now on is likely to go seriously downhill

Damn! If I'd known, I'd have posted mine now as so much of it is out of focus you'd probably deem it a winner in your current state!

If you hadnt commented mine already, I would gladly let you skip it

Actually, you are doing quite well, if you can still make jokes all about it

I wonder what contest has got the largest nr of entries ? And how many then?

You've certainly got the record for the number of entries Hyram. And there's still time for some more.
Best of luck, David.

Does anybody know what the record is?

Sorry Hyram, I had a senior moment. It should have been the building of the Pengrowth Corporation in Calgary. I tried straightening the verticals but then the horizontals looked wrong. I don’t know if there is a way to move one without the other? The only other thing I did was to correct exposure levels.

Doesn't skew (under Image: Transform) in Elements/PS do this? I'm sure someone in the know will be able to let us know.

There was certainly something in PSPx2 to do this. Though I don't recall what it was called - and it now refuses to work on my computer, so I can't go to see.

Thanks Mhuni, your right, but I would have to play around alot with skew to obtain the desired effect.
