The poll for the banner was 69% to go ahead with this type of banner I had this banner for a long time but it had a s on forums.net and you know I used Gork Image AI and im WOW at what it does is unreal

FWIW, I kinda liked the old one with the pictures of all the girls.  I would have liked to have seen it as true color as opposed to the shaded one.

Well Don I agree with you about seeing all the girls on the banner but the problem is at the rate of the lineup is changing it's not a easy job to always make new banners 2 or 3 times a year. I think in the last 2 years we went from 16 girls to 21 so that would be alot of new banners and here is another issue as the admin of the forum I myself can't do thqt type of grahpics work I don't know how to use photoshop or Gimp and member Granuile has been making the banners for free and he doesn't have a License any longer for his photoshop and at $264.00 a year I can't afford it. I told him about Gimp which is the free open source of photoshop software. Photoshop no longers does there license for the ver's like they used to do it now by the month or the year.

But hey if anyone wants to step up and knows Graphic arts and can use photoshop or Gimp can have at it just ask me of the sizes it needs to be

Some of the newer AI models might be able to maintain it.

I currently have ChatGPT Plus which has gotten significantly better over the past 6 months at following instructions and making good choices. I use it mostly for coding and comparitive analysis, but it does make decent images without watermarks. It only adds Content Credentials metadata to the files.

ChatGPT Plus has generous caps (unlike the free tier which is limited to like 2-5 generation attempts per day). If I give it the banner dimensions, it might be able to arrange all the headshots. I haven't tried a collage and I'm not sure if it would handle 20+ input headshots, but we could give it a try. If it works, it might be as easy as just uploading a new headshot into a project each time there's a new member and letting the AI resize and fit everything.

The other concern though is that the more members there are, the more cluttered the graphic will get. Pretty soon, the photos will be ridiculously squished.

Ya that is a concern also with having to squished and the banner can't be any wider and I think the height is also coded into the forums code. I have been thinking of making a new board titled STANDIN'S and put the girls that are here only for 1 tour like Ciara Ní Mhurcú, Hannah Traynor, abd maybe Emma Warren and so on.

Ya I have tried using Gork Image and the work it can do is unreal and i have 16 years in Graphic imageing in printing I used to build the 4/color pages in Magazines by hand before computers started doing them. But I had Gork fix the banner i am using here now there was a s on the end of Forum and asked to remove it and fix the spacing and what you see on the forum is what it did. I have never used Chat gpt but i have used Gork and gork image many times and like what I see

Any one wishing to try there hand at the banner can always try the size it has to be is 1050 X 263 Pixels and the color hex code is 680066 that is the dark purple
