NDC Round 1 Challenge: Moonrise

[Pacifika]

"The preview must be 600X600px, 72dpi, and a jpg file."

I did this but the preview is really blurry. Where did I go wrong?
Thank you.

[kimberkatt]

are you using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements? If so, you can use the "Save For Web" feature and it won't blur your preview Let me know if you need instructions

I hope it's OK that I edited the description for my kit after I found out this morning that the link was empty. My bad. It's hard to check the links when 4Shared automatically lets you DL your own files. :-(

Yeah!!! I think that did the trick. Thank you for that. Now hopefully I'll remember that for other things.

I'm new here, joining in! Can't wait to post my entry!!

[Pacifika]

I've been "eyeballing" the colors and I realize that a couple of them are not dead on. Is that okay? Or do they need to be exact?
Thanks

Welcome Kooky!! It's been jamming here!! If you have any questions be sure to ask
Im off to go see...I can't download from 4shared but I can still look!!

[kookycatdesigns]

Thank you Danielle! I used dropbox so downloading shouldn't be a problem for anyone, at least I hope not!

Hello everyone! I just wrote a longer intro in the other section, but thought I'd wave hello in here as well. I decided after a long time of thinking about trying design to just bite the bullet and do it...so here I am. This was fun to make and it really stretched my brain. I broke out the never-used wacom and realized it was a bad idea to learn something in the midst of a challenge. I did make a few things on the tablet that helped in the making of the kit but mostly stuck to Illustrator/ps.

See ya around!

As long as you used the color palette, you should be okay! Colors tend to shift a little lighter/darker depending on the blend modes you use, and that is perfectly okay

Sweet! Thank you, Kim. Please, someone, let me know if it needs to be fixed. Thank you.

[Pacifika]

Awesome! Looks like everything is working right and I have the right number of everything. So here is WEEK 1 "Moonlit Romance" mini kit for your scrapping pleasure.

Thanks for having this competition. Creating kits is really fun. Helps to have a deadline

[createdbyjill]

The kits look awesome!!! Can't believe how many there are! Is it the 8th yet????????

[jilbert]

Thanks Toiny!!! I figured I had gone rather overboard with my definition. Hopefully I've done everything correctly for my mini (just uploaded the preview). If not, there's always next year.

HTH's!

I'm hoping to have some time tomorrow to really sit down and DOWNLOAD my day away! lol I've only peeked through the gallery so far, and from what I've seen this is going to be one tough vote! You guys are rocking this first challenge, kudos to you all!!

... he he, Jill, thank you for making me laugh every time I read your sweet comments!!

Now I have uploaded my mini, but - no no no, it isn´t the 8th yet! The next 4 days finally I have to do my homework...

You all made nice kits and I am happy that I am not in the jury...
What an exiting challenge!

[createdbyjill]

Hi everyone! I'm joining in this time - I just got back from Labor-day vacation so I'm just getting started! But I love the palette and I can't wait to create! I won't have very long to get this done, so I gotta get cracking!

[DanielleS83]

Best of luck Dede! Just breath through it and Im sure you'll be fine!

[Pacifika]

Great that you've joined us. These kits are fantastic! This is so cool
