Fortunately, it was only a snapshot of the channel palette of photoshop. Actually, we purposely deleted that image to fit the article into the layout but forgot to delete the reference to Figure 13 and renumber the other images. That tells you how attentive the editors are.</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>Page 33, PAD article: The image in the second column titled "London's South Bank....." was incorrectly attributed to Lee Rudd instead of John Waine who took the photograph.

The first person to solve it would get a copy before anyone else and also have his name in the magazine.<br /><br />The nutty competition was announced at <a href="http://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?t=12551">http://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?t=12551</a><br /><br />Jeremy Goodell (<a href="http://www.pbase.com/jeremygood">http://www.pbase.com/jeremygood</a>) solved the puzzle the fastest.

We never expected such a lot of traction. In just 3 days, we have close to 10,000 downloads and counting. The feedback is still flowing in via email - we make it a point to respond to each one though its getting increasingly more difficult (over 100 mails till now) </span></p><p><strong><span style="color:#000000;">How did it all begin ?</span></strong></p><p><span style="color:#999999;"><a href="http://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?t=10895">http://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?t=10895</a></p><p><br /></p></span><p><strong>We often get asked : How are articles chosen for the magazine ? </strong></p><p><span style="color:#999999;">It's very simply really - I rely on the advice of anyone who shares good advice :-) People email me with recommendations, based on those and my own 'inner voice' I select articles and contact authors. As of now, I take responsibility for the quality (or lack, thereof) for articles chosen. Hopefully going ahead, I can expand the team.<br /></span></p><p><strong>Another common question: Who are the folks behind this effort ? </strong></p><p><span style="color:#999999;"><a href="http://www.pbase.com/gpaai">Gary Paai</a> - cover design </span></p><p><span style="color:#999999;"><a href="http://www.pbase.com/larena">Larena Woodmore</a> - PDF conversion </span></p><p><span style="color:#999999;"><a href="http://www.pbase.com/slowpokebill">Wanda Bates</a> - proof-reading </span></p><p><span style="color:#999999;"><a href="http://www.pbase.com/arjunrc">Arjun Roychowdhury</a> (me) - rest of the magazine </span></p><p><br /><strong>Do we get paid ? </strong></p><p><span style="color:#999999;">Nope - nada,zilch,zero</span> </p><p><br /><strong>Do we want to get paid ? </strong></p><p><span style="color:#999999;">Sure, who does not :-) But we don't want to worry about all that now. There are no ego-hassles, every one is a peer, and that's the way we like it to be. </span></p><p><br /><strong>What is happening after the first release ? </strong></p><p><span style="color:#999999;">Well first off, I am taking a 2 week vacation - its my 5th wedding anniversary :-) Once I am back, I plan to get back to work full steam. Trust me the second edition is going to be a blockbuster (hopefully !). The first edition is always a challenge. You don't really have anything to show except for promises. With the first edition doing rather well, a lot more people are willing to work with us. Hey thats good :-) Also, the first release set a high bar, which hopefully we will be able to keep raising with every new issue. </span></p><p><br /><strong>How about a quick peek at the next edition ? </strong></p><p><span style="color:#999999;">Official Answer: Sorry :-) All we can say is that it will be more pages, and more sections Hope you like it :-)<br />Real Answer: We really have no idea (yet) how its going to look ! </span></p><p><strong>When can we expect the next release ?</strong></p><p><span style="color:#999999;">The idea now is to make this a 'tri-monthly' magazine. In other words, the next release should hit cyberspace in July. This gives us enough time to breathe and also make sure we are not fired from our 'day jobs'</span></p><p><strong>And finally, what's our relation to PBase ? </strong></p><p><span style="color:#999999;">Slug and Emily host the file. Why is it called a PBase magazine ? Well, because the idea is to promote photography as a passion, and we believe PBase has one of the best atmospheres for just that. The talent here is phenomenal. If PBase receives any popularity because of this, well, they deserve it, though they never asked for it. Beyond that, the success or failure of this magazine has nothing to do with how PBase evolves as a photography hosting site.</span></p><p><span style="color:#999999;">Specifically, all of us working on this magazine are regular PBase users and have no 'special status' in PBase.</span></p><p><br /><br /><br /></p><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><!-- END user desc --></span></span>PBase Magazinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17839463249071306436noreply@blogger.com86
