It's high for me, that's for sure. But I figured all this talk about fuel injected, nitro induce, plasma fed bill board size jumbo tron monitors might have a shot at it so it couldn't hurt to ask. I mean, what's the point of all that stuff if it's no better than what I can already do?

No can do on the 2000 tall, I can hit 2048 x 1536, any chance the pic could be taken sidways and then rotated?

I don't think so but I wonder if the screen could be rotated and what it would look like? By the same token, do you know how to lock desktop icons in place? Every time I change screen settings the icons are scrambled around... and it's a pain resetting it

Just for fun I tried it, and yes I can use NVRotate and turn my screen sideways. I can get 1536 x 2048 when I do that. Its a bit tricky moving the mouse around but it would be possible with a little trial and error.

I dont know what to do about your Icons, I only leave four out on my desktop so I never have problems with them if I change resolutions.

Thanks, Woody, I just sent you a private message (PM).

For what it's worth, I have the wrong monitor on the wrong graphics card. I can get higher resolution on one monitor but can only rotate with the other card. If you can't get this for some reason, then I'll have to switch things around. But lets try your luck first. Thankee.

Okay, with Woody's help, here's what we have for this year. A bit more expensive than I was figuring so if somebody wants I can do up the less pricey version too.

I get the impression from D2S that you can't just rearrange north american months and have them fit australian weather. But at least you can get them closer than snow at christmas time ;-)

Seasons would have been easy enough, but you asked for weather which at times can be decidedly un-seasonal

Good job on the product tho [tu]

arctic wasteland and toys in the attic are what i recognize. Do the pictures match the seasons? like arctic wasteland is december?

Wish this was in real stores though cause i'd definitly buy it.

Woody, just want to say thanks again for the graphic. Mine came today and it looks very fine. The larger size was definitely the right choice. Heavy paper with a matte finish. I don't want to get carried away here, but this might be one of the nicest calendars I've ever had.

> Do the pictures match the seasons?

I tried ;-)

i wish i could buy this calander. Looks so cool.
Is there a difference between the first one posted and the Down Under edition?

Post by **Phineus** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 7:55 pm

The down under one has the months rearranged to more appropriately suit the seasons. Hopefully, anyway. Snow in December for them is just ridiculous so I wanted to try fit the seasons a bit better.

Need a Canadian Version

Winter tracks for December, January, February, March, April
lol

with one more in July for good measure (never know when you could get a blizard if you live in the central region)

Augest would of course be a desert photo, then September would be a summer photo, then fall for October, November.

And May? Make that look like Spring/Summer sort of thing I guess.

Hey Phin what'd you say the dpi should be around 300? If I do that then go to set the size it throws everything off for me and the picture is way bigger then it needs to be in PSP7 and I'm afraid they'll just crop things off to make it fit on there which I don't want.

Like the size for one of my pics I redid is like 3780x2850 or something like that...

Post by **Phineus** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 4:33 pm

Cover: 13.75" x 19.25"
100 dpi : 1375x1925
200 dpi : 2750x3850
300 dpi : 4125x5775

Pages: 13.75" x 10.25"
100 dpi : 1375x1025
200 dpi : 2750x2050
300 dpi : 4125x3075

If the monitor resolution makes the aspect ratio look odd, don't worry as long as the dimensions are correct it'll come out looking okay. Just save the pictures and when you reset the monitor back to normal, the pictures will look normal too. And yes, they do minor cropping to get the fit right. But it's minor.

Thanks Phin! I'll post a link here as soon as I get it up.
