[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) We would like to inform you that in the meantime 4 donations have already been received via the donate button, which was set up on the login page in December. The sum of the donations is 210 EUR. 2) The response to our advice to extend your subscriptions before the planned adjustment of contributions to the changed exchange rates is far above expectations. 124 club members have already made use of this option. We thank you for this great vo…

[English] www.ipernity.com/blog/team/4715932 [Français] www.ipernity.com/blog/team/4715938 Bericht der Berater Frohes neues Jahr! Liebe Mitglieder und Freunde von ipernity! Im Dezember vor zwei Jahren erreichte uns die Hiobsbotschaft, dass die "Ewigkeit" von ipernity nach nur 10 Betriebsjahren zu Ende sein solle. Heute gibt es ipernity immer noch - dank eures Engagements und eurer Treue, sowie des großen Einsatzes einiger Ehrenamtlicher, die als ima-Team für iper…

[EN] Against all odds A year–end message from the ima–Team It was in December 2016 when the founder and CEO of Ipernity S.A., Christophe Ruelle, announced the closing of the platform ipernity.com by January 2017. (1) It’s now the end of 2017 and ipernity is still online. What happened? Of course, members were scared, disappointed and started looking for alternatives to Ipernity. But true alternatives were (and are) hard to find. Quite a bunch of users moved over to flickr – bu…

Just a brief article prompted by some comments I've seen people posting regarding difficulties in publishing articles.

[EN] Dear Members, We are thrilled to announce that we are about to take the last steps of IMA's take-over of the Ipernity platform and service. IMA is now handling the financial aspects of the site. IMA made the first payment to Amazon Web Services for August and will continue to pay the operating costs to ensure the site runs without interruption. This is a major accomplishment in the transition from Ipernity S.A. to IMA . However, technical issues such as renewal options still need…

La campagne de financement participatif (crowdfunding) par l'IMA

[EN] Hello to you all, What is going on in ipernity ? We are patiently waiting for IMA to makes their proposal. Once it will be set, the negotiations will get started. They have officially registered the association to the French office. They are waiting for the paper to come back. If you do not have seen it yet, they published their Bylaws : ipernityma.wixsite.com/ipernityma/bylaws (English) ipernityma.wixsite.com/ipernityma/copy-of-bylaws (French) ipernityma.wixsite.c…

Dear friendly people of ipernity, What's going on right now ? the head of the team is negotiating with several potential buyers. One seems to be really serious. But nothing is done. What am I doing ? I'm actually reading all your comments (hundreds...) on the latest articles and collecting informations/data on your feelings, ideas, support etc.. thus, to use it to make a "at the moment" state of ipernity. (We may share a survey poll soon) Which means I have fewer time to reply to the su…

Viel Gesundheit, frisches Leben soll dir Frau Fortuna geben, und den Rest gib selbst hinzu! Werde Riese und bleib du! Immer freundlich, immer heiter auf der wankelhaften Leiter; fällst du plötztlich doch herunter, stehe auf und bleibe munter! Von deinem Großvater https://hansgeorgkaisergedic…

Photo credit : CC Roger Feugas [EN] Good news! The migration of the ipernity platform has successfully completed. You are now browsing ipernity from a new powerful cloud which makes ipernity faster - as you may have noticed. We apologize again for the small inconveniences some of you encountered during the migration process. Most of the known bugs have been fixed. It remains some minor problems we are going to solve. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.…

OOBs as you know I am sure are images that look as though they are jumping out of their frames which is why they are called Out Of Bounds!!! Here is a Pixlr based walk-through on how to do them... there are easier techniques and the tools are far easier to use in Photoshop and Paintshop Pro but the idea and basic methodology are the same! PS and PSP users for instance, have access to the Magic wand and Quick selection tools and these little beauties make selecting a complete breeze! Pixlr at th…

Loriot La matenmanĝa ovo Li: Berta! Ŝi: Jes. Li: La ovo estas dura! Ŝi: (silentas) Li: La ovo estas dura!!! Ŝi: Mi aŭdis ĝin... Li: Kiom longe la ovo estis kuirita? Ŝi: Tro da ovoj tute ne estas sanigaj! Li: Mi celis scii, kiom longtempe estis kuirita tiu ĉi ovo...? Ŝi: Vi ja volas, ke mi kuiru ĝin ĉiufoje dum kvar minutoj kaj tridek sekundoj. Li: Tion mi scias... Ŝi: Kial vi do demandas? Li: Ĉar ne eblas, ke tiu ovo estis kuirita kvar minutojn…

This article has been published originally at My Opera community in 2012. I accidentally discovered an interesting editing technique. It requires an editing software where one can use layers and have the following layer modes. Here are the four layers I used and settings from top to down: Base duplicate: Turn into outline using 'Filters > Edge-Detect > Edge', invert, and change layer mode into 'soft light'. EDIT: Or try 'Filters > Artistic > Photocopy' and then change the layer mode in…

Here are just a few things that I believe I've learned from my recent heart attack. While I feel great (best I've felt in about ten years), I guess it's time I stop and reflect about what's just happened to me. Two weeks ago, I could have told you I was in perfect health and didn't take any medications. The fact is, you "are what you eat." I've been consuming greasy fast-food for probably close to 37 years now (since I left home in my early 20's), and it finally caught up with me. Watch y…

..gerade ist die letzte Welle abgeklungen, manche Mitglieder sind dann doch geblieben und jetzt.. kommt die flickr Welle und sie wird herzlich gerne angenommen..hurra..neue zahlende Mitglieder und auf einmal gibt es ..nur noch Puppen..? Vielleicht habe ich eine Modewelle verpasst, eine neue Art der Fotografie oder gar eine Gruppeneinladung?? Irgendwie komisch, oder? Komisch vor allem, das solch eine Puppe in "das rockt" kommt bei schon 4 Kommentaren? Ich hab eigentlich schon seit Wochen nicht…
