I've heard about that .cil-thingie before, i don't understand how you guys use this service, but every pic i've ever downloaded from that gallery has been either gif or jpeg. I didn't know if there was a phonebooth pic in there or not, but it's like a billion pictures, and small pics like that are very useful anyway.. just a general tip i guess. i've had use for it. -- mvh, .---+-+---. | tobias gärder | webdesigner | scandinavia online ab | | 0733-201060 | 08-58781112 | www.passagen.se | `---+-+---'

How did you download them? If you select the download 'button' it presents a file with the cil extension. I pulled one down and 'file' says it's data. GIMP couldn't open it either.

Looking for an image
GIMP related in that I will work on the image in GIMP. I am seeking an image I can use freely on our company Intranet. I have scoured my CDs and the web for over an hour so far, but have been unable to find a good image of a red English phone box with no people in it. If someone has such an image, and could send it to me, or point me to where I can find it, I'd be very grateful. -- Thanks! Jim Clark

I would be happy to run take a picture of a red english phone booth on my lunch break. I'm in Houston TX but we have imported some of the phone booths and placed them around the Upper Kirby district. The images would be available tonight, just say the word. -- Jon Winters http://www.obscurasite.com/ "Everybody loves the GIMP!" http://www.gimp.org/

If someone has such an image, and could send it to me, or point me to where I can find it, I'd be very grateful. I knew where one was so I drove by on my lunch break and shot it: http://www.obscurasite.com/jon/images/things/red-phone-booth/ Nothing fancy, just a bunch of pix of a red phone booth. I apologize for the sky being all blown out. I should have shot some with fill-flash and a different exposure in hopes of getting blue sky. You'll need to use Gimp to sharpen, scale, and crop things down to web size. I didn't know your output size so I shot big. Better to have too much image to work with than too little. Feel free to use 'em if you see something you like. I only ask that you give me proper credit as the photographer.
