# A slight change from the music pics
Somebody asked me to do a Cool Hand Luke screenplay image, in tribute to Paul Newman


Click for full 4500x3376 version. It's 11MB and I've had to host it on MediaFire as my server rejected the file due it's size :o

I suppose I could stick Morph in the background and make it a compo entry ;)

# Ah fuck the rules, post the 11mb image here
:P

That's ace

# Not a chance
but thanks. It was a bit of a monster to work on, but glad it's done. I'm calling a customer tomorrow (who does large scale printing for a living) and seeing if they can bang this out on A1 for me :)

# printing on canvas or photographic card?

# Not sure
I'll see what they think is best when I give them the image.

# I would say photographic card
The canvas texture would be too much together with the text details I think

# cheers :)
I'll ask them to try that first and see how it comes out :)

One thing's for sure though, I'm not doing another one of these in a hurry :o

# yeah, it's a bit on the large size
but it was either that or make the text super tiny and that would have been rubbish :(

EDIT : And I've now learned that Photoshop does NOT like 130KB of raw text slapped into it in one layer :o . It took about 20 minutes to change the colour on each of the 5 shades (that's on a Core2Duo 3.2GHz CPU with 4GB RAM, running Vista 64-bit)

# I've had one genuine non-hardware related crash
in 11 months

XP? Good luck ;)

Honestly, the 64-bit version of Vista (at least, as far as my PC is concerned) has been almost faultless. One crash in 11 months is good going and that has included all the photoshop work, all my Premiere Elements video editing (working on 30GB files) and games playing :)

No, I don't work for Microsoft ;)

# I've run PC's for years, they are generally each to their own, they either are reliable or aren't
which suited me for years, given the ones i've owned have worked reliably without fucking up for years; but Vista was the fucking limit; my computer man simply said nah when I said IT IS TIME TO REPLACE STUFF; and drove me to a Mac store instead, and to be honest, even at work the IT manager isn't replacing XP with this Vista, it's simply slower on non-high end PCs

And Mac's are wonderful beasts, never going back
