This gallery contains some resized versions of original photos that were used as the basis for entries in Challenge #9. It should be interesting and educational to compare the 'before' and 'after' shots.

A good way to compare is to display your 'before' photo in the caption of the 'after' photo you entered in C9. That involves putting a link in your 'after' photo caption back to your 'before' photo in this gallery. You may also want to provide a brief description in the caption of how you went about processing your 'before' into your 'after'.

If the instructions below are not enough for working with PBase, check out PBase linking instructions in How To Use PBase.

To display your 'before' photo in your 'after' photo caption:
- upload a resized version of your original 'before' photo to this gallery, eg sized to 800x600 or similar
- please try to keep the file size to less than 200kB, the smaller the better for dialup download times
- copy the shortcut; one way is to right click on your 'before' photo in this gallery and choose 'Copy Shortcut'
- the link will look like: http: //www.pbase.com/image/xxxxxxxx (without the space after http:) where xxxxxxxx is the 8 digit image ID
- open and edit your C9 entry and paste the shortcut into the caption field
- include a character immediately before the link on the same line (even a space is ok) or the text won't appear as a link
- at the end of the link, add '/medium.jpg' for a 400px image or '/original.jpg' for a full size image
- the link should now look like: http: //www.pbase.com/image/xxxxxxxx/medium.jpg (without the space after http:)
- in addition to a medium display link, you could also include a clickable link for an original size display in this gallery:
 http: //www.pbase.com/image/xxxxxxxx/original (without the space after http:)

To finish the job and make it more meaningful:
- include the same pic name and artist name in your 'before' title that you used for your C9 entry title
- add a '+' to the start of your C9 entry title to let people know you've included a bonus photo in the caption

Happy comparing!
