Here's another poor free hand:)  You did say quick... I think I lost the spot? Since similar, let me know and I'll redo. |

rockstock, Great minds certainly think alike!! Yes, since they are both the same area/size, miket gets 1st dibs on that. ( rockjunquie?) But, choose carefully also, I think the latest submission won the contest last time. Jeff has offered a generous prize. (Soon to be posted)

Edited to change my bad wording and add a cut out of the cab selection. I could not change PSE settings to remove the feathering.   |

knave can you post the sizes of the slabs with a ruler reference in photo? It would help when determining an exact outline. thanks.

I can put a ruler on the picture, but since I donβt actually have the slabs it would be an educated guess. |

OK, I am claiming this basic area. Will refine the cab outline. This time weβll let it slide, but in the future, letβs shy away from βstake claimingβ without a completed idea. Small refinements are ok, but letβs not post βmineβ on an area until we know what we are doing with it. Thanks!! ππΌ |

Wow, really great cabs coming in already!
Take a good look at that prize pot. The contest may not be this good again for awhile!!
I will try to do about 1 CTS per month, unless that is too often.

Beth, that's really not how the game is played. You can't just claim an area for later. First come, first served... with a cab. Evan was more than generous with you. If you do it again, I'll delete the post myself and you can sit out a round. That's not playing fair.

Sorry, bad choice of words. I needed to figure out how to make the outline solid and not fuzzy.

fernwood With PSE - make a selection with the marque tool (the one with the dancing ants) then choose STROKE from the the EDIT drop down menu. The rest is self explanatory. That's the easiest way I know how with PSE.
