I've finished the process of creating the actual calendar pages. They have been uploaded to cafepress.com. I've taken the pictures that I uploaded and trimmed them in the same way they will be actually be done by cafepress and created a category for them in the photo gallery for you all to look at and proof.
A few words of explanation are needed about what I did. First, I messed up when I posted the size requirements. I forgot to allow for space for the title and description of the project(s):crybaby2: Also, there were some other issues. Most pictures didn't actually meet the size requirements. Others, didn't allow space for the necessary cropping that would be done by cafepress when printing. There were some pictures that had a time code that had to be removed and other general problems. So I spent some time reworking every Photograph.
So when you look at the actual pages you will find changes in size, cropping, centering, etc. Three pages are actually quite different.
We didn't want to have white borders, so on one picture I artificially extended the background. On two others this wasn't feasible with limited PhotoShop skills, so I took another entry by the same member and created a composite to fill the space.
Please review these pages for problems and post any found in this thread so I can fix them.
Technically you can order your calendars now. But I have ordered one sent to me as a "proof". I should get it some time Tuesday and I'll let you know what I think.
Oh, one other thing, you will see an 1/4" of white space at the bottom of each page. I discovered that the spiral binding of the calendar interfered with the description, so I had to add that space.
