@sublime i have questions regarding EXO.

Can EXO, EXO-CBX, EXO-SC, EXO-K/M, Chen solo, Baekhyun solo and Lay solo all get their own header?

EXO, EXO-CBX, Chen and Lay are allowed to have a header. SC and Baekhyun have yet to have a comeback so they do not qualify.

As for EXO K and M... the units are essentially defunct, are they not? Correct me if I'm wrong but there hasn't a release by EXO-M since 2014? Based upon this, they were somewhat temporary units, so they do not qualify either.

Baekhyun's solo isn't a one time project, he already have other releases outside of EXO like collabs, osts and a single song, he also confirmed a 2nd album for this spring (which may miss the dead line), do we have to wait a whole year and half to include him? just because of few weeks? or can you make additions after the dead line?

If he has confirmed he will make a comeback then sure!

To keep it fair, if he doesn't make his comeback before the deadline, please at least show proof of confirmation during submission, be it official press or from him personally.

One question, with the submission of the voted photo, will that means the cropping will be done by your team?

Do we have to send the original photo or the cropped photo, which should be bigger than 1920x1080?

Yes, please send the original photo, even if bigger than 1920x1080. We'll take care of any necessary cropping.

Heyo, I was wondering if we can edit the pics we submit?

I'm thinking about submitting this picture but it's quite dark, is any edit on luminosity/colors allowed? And if for example we want a picture from a magazine that has a logo on it, can we remove it?

Thank you~

Sure! If you do edit the photos, please submit the original and edited version during submission, just in case.

ten has had solo releases so i feel like we should be able to request a ten header agree or agree?

His solo releases were SM Stations singles, which would count as project singles.

OSTs, project releases, etc. are excluded otherwise it would qualify a lot of individual idols who never made an official solo debut. The point is to keep it fair as possible while also avoiding a mass of too many individual idols.

@craZy @sublime hi again! i got voted to be the OP for EXO's thread, do i include all units and solos in 1 thread? i think that would be easier for EXO-Ls instead of making many.

also here is a confirmation for Baekhyun working on a new solo album and a concert tour :

When asked about his plans for 2020

 

There's no strict rule about that so it's up to you but yep, one would be preferred.

As stated by the 'Rules,'

1. Only Official HD Pictures allowed. Examples: Comeback photoshoots, official magazine photoshoots, endorsement photos, etc.
2. Edited, scanned, press, fantaken and LQ images are not allowed

Basically, there is an image that I've suggested in the A.C.E. thread [see 3]. I can't find the image I've used on Twitter. I found this image elsewhere. It is larger and arguably has higher quality. This same image has also included text and added varying effects. I still am unable to find this image, at least one with the same or similar dimensions, elsewhere on the internet. The same applies for this image.

Some minimal text that's easy to edit out wouldn't be a problem but there's quite a bit of content on this image that would appear unpleasant in the header. So unfortunately this image won't be acceptable.

Also, for some images, the width and/or height may not be enough to meet the requirements. In some images that I have seen, I feel that some of them have enough height, but not enough width (may be pixels short of 1920).

Does 'editing' include scaling? Or does 'editing' involve extending backgrounds (to add width and height) or changing placement of objects?

Editing includes any kind of alteration to the image. Down scaling is fine but not necessary anyways, we'll scale the images to fit ourselves. Up scaling is discouraged. Extending backgrounds, depending on the image, this can be acceptable. If it's a set/scene of any kind then that would be difficult to extend. If it's a solid color background, that's more doable. Ultimately we request you allow us to handle any kind of editing but you can provide a sample image during submission to show what you need done.

On Instagram, sometimes images are cut-up. I joined 6 images: [ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 ].

The dimensions now are 3201 x 2134, and the image file size is under 1 MB.

In the original tweet, the dimensions are smaller (2048 x 1280),

I would like to know if any of the images would be eligible for submission.

The quality isn't the greatest tbh. The Twitter one is a bit better. It'd be okay if users vote for this image but I would encourage something of better quality.

This also might be a bit late to ask. There are some larger images on sites like Kpopping. For example, this image (2000 x 2895), when the image released on another site is smaller - click here (1326 x 1920).

Would the larger image taken from Kpopping be eligible for submission?

Of course! The bigger, the better.

I would like to know if this image would be suitable for submission.

My suggestions were around pushing the boxes (sliders) down so the text in the image can be covered.

This will be a little tricky to work with. Even if we move the slider, the text will still be seen between the gaps , and from the top of the slides on smaller screens.

As super nice as this photo is, we can't accept it.

I'm still a bit lost. I've posted three group images across two posts in the EXO Dynamic Vision thread: [ 1 | 2 ].

I wanted to know if any of these three images would be acceptable for submission. Each of these images have text on them.

Also, does the 100 post minimum count apply to every thread even if there are few images suggested/used? For example, in fromis_9, there are only 4 photos.

If it is not, is there a chance that scaling could be applied for those threads?

The first one is acceptable since the text isn't over the main photo. Second one is acceptable too since only the bottom half of the image will be in view. I test out the third one and unfortunately it won't work well, due to the text at the bottom.

The post count is a requirement for voters, not thread posts, i.e voters must have at least 100 posts. This is to avoid cheating and newly registered members from voting.

Just to clarify, "[Images] must be less than 1 MB." (Rules)

Is that for the size of the cropped images, or the original images? For example, if an image is 3000 x 3000 and the file size exceeds the limit (even after compressing), is the image still allowed to be used for submission, if say, the cropped image is lower than the file size?

Original (any cropping should be left to us.) If you aren't able to compress it enough, you can let us try, but better to have a back up just in case.

As taken from the GFRIEND Dynamic Vision thread, this image exceeds the limit (1 MB). I've tried to compress it with both Compress JPEG and TinyJPG (see here; referred to as P). But, the image is still above 1 MB. I would like to know if it can be compressed further using other tools.

While I did say the bigger, the better, this image is bigger than mot screen sizes lol. I reduced the size a bit and managed to get the file size below 1 MB, so it'll be fine.

are screenshots allowed?

If it's of super clear, HD quality, it can be considered!

In this post, I gave an example for how the image could be used as a banner.

If the boxes were smaller in Dynamic Vision, would it be possible to see Chen and Chanyeol's faces?

EDIT: I scaled it down to 1920 px for the banner.

Unfortunately, we likely won't make them any smaller. The contents of the slider become too small for optimal reading.
