Ok, I created a rapidshare account and uploaded a file to it. Can everyone handle a Nef file with their software? It is Nikon's raw format. Apparently the link takes you to rapid share and the middle balloon has a download arrow indicating where you click to download the file to load the it directly to the computer. I will message that link to all the participants and also post a smaller version here. I will post a smaller jpg of the photo so everyone can see what we are working with. I will do the same for all files so everyone can see our starting point. Sound good? No worries, Bambi, it will take a couple of weeks I am sure to get this all done anyway.

P.S. let me know if it works for you. The download that is.

P.P.S I would recommend that we each post all of our finished photos at one time, with the original photographer's name below each photo, so one person's work is altogether otherwise it could get confusing to the viewers.

OK, here is the photo that I have sent to everyone as a nef file. Good luck everyone.

Ok cool, Bambi! Tiger, Nikon has a free codex that allows you to see NEF files on your computer. I use Photoshop Elements and Lightroom so I can convert most any camera's file.

I just wanted to add that I already have a finished version of the photo I submitted on my computer, so I am not influenced by other's interpretation of my photo.

No problem. My ability to focus stinks so blur is going to be a factor with mine. ;-) Kat, I am sure everyone would much rather deal with spots than focus disability. :-D

I think sticking to one thread will be fine. When we are each ready to post results we can post all 5 photos that we edited at once with the photographer who took the photo's name underneath each photo.

Susan, I have the same problem. Luckily my camera and lenses are pretty good at compensating for my lack of sharp eyesight.
