forum_emoticons.html	[quote=vilero,29175] I'm glad you aren't too disappointed with my words. But, please, in pages previuosly listed you must do your effort looking for quality NOT FOR QUANTITY. I advise you better look for cars NOT previuosly listed, with "whole" view", not obstructed, no too far background and little. And more, Don't you think it would be better to do an effort with new movies? The old ones (already listed) has all the cars with roles and looking only for backgrounds is a very hard effort.

I'll tyr to explain in a polite way (if my poor english let me) than with pics like yours 253, we'll ruin the page
http://imcdb.org/movie_67116-The-French-Connection.html

Have a look there and you'll see that there are now 4 contributors in this page. All pics are submited with DVD (or nearly) quality.
Imagine that you find a movie not listed or partially listed. Well in that case there isn't problem (or less problem) with your pics. Bad or good pics we'll submited them and, later, when you or other user get the movie in a better quality we'll changed the old pics for the better new ones but you will be as provider of this movie since you posted them before.
But if we let these pics, we must say YES to everything that other user wants to be submited.
Do you understand this position?
With pages previuosly listed, the site must improve its quality, and doesn't get worse.

It's hard and difficult to me say you (with your previuos big effort) that your pics don't satisfy the contidions of backgrounds cars http://imcdb.org/help.php#HelpGuidelines

I encourage you to go on, but not this way, please.
Get a program that let you make screen captures (I told you by private), tested before you post here, also have a look to this tutorial http://forum.imcdb.org/forum_topic-1201-How_you_can_submit_pictures.html (you can also in free download get XnView) and you will see (then) how many time you lost before and the easy way to post goods cars here.
Don't become disheartened by my words. The better way to know everything is to make a mistake and stand up again.
Thanks

Still, some are too background.
And as I said we prefer to have uncropped pictures, to see how the car actually appears in the movie.
Having cropped & zoomed pictures is not good, as it makes like if the car was well visible in the movie which is not the case.

Wow, its great that youve done this.
But just one MAJOR suggestion for next time. When doing pics on this scale, its best to do it via the site's e-mail in a zip file. Cos to do this many pics in the forum, it will take A LONG TIME to do, when somebody adds it to the site.
Cheers

thanks it was a lot of work!!!!!!!

Note that pictures sent by e-mail are not processed much faster, as not many admin process them.

How were these captures made? The colors look a little weird, are these photos taken from a TV/screen?

They also seem sometimes cut from a larger scene. Note that the pictures that we usually make are whole movie frame, to show what is around the car, also to prevent too background cars from appearing as if they were well visible on the screen.
e.g. for the Dodge Coronet, which is already listed:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_98922-Dodge-Coronet-1971.html
Some of your pics are clearly small shots enlarged (i.e. cars that were far), and so which are actually not worth listing, like the 223->229.
This movie was processed by Sixcyl who already puts too much background cars, so I do not see how 250 cars could have been missed and worth listing.

Also, you should compress the pictures a little more, the pics seem rather big.

i know what you mean but i think for movies that are as old and have a historical significance as this one is should be more cataloged cuz lets face it vintage regular cars are not as well archived as todays regular cars!!!

plus they are what they are even the background and the up close half pics!!! if i didn't know what it is i didn't list it or if it was large or visible enough they were listed as unknown
