   Great timing! :) I was just about to write a collision detection function for a project I'm working on, and your post showed up. Thanks!

   Do these effects require two images to begin with, or does it work with only one image to begin with, and the script generates the 2nd image?

   I totally agree with you on those favors where the deliverable can have multiple buyers. I tend to think of most favors as being one-offs, however.

   You can always have buyers purchase a bundle of credits and then pay for favors with their credits.

   I agree with the "tax" idea, but I think the small fee needs to be much higher, to get serious buyers and sellers. As a buyer, I would be more concerned about the job being done quickly and correctly, than trying to save some pennies. As

   I think you should consider a business model similar to fiverr.com, but with your unique timer/availability concept. I've gotten decent results from Fiverr (as a buyer), but find it impractical to send work over there needs to be done righ

   Feature Request: I'd like to see some sort of toggle to minimize the content in the left-column and allow the command area in the right-column to cover the entire width of my window/frame. (I'm using kaanzi in multiple iframes, so repeatin

    Oh, nice! This could work for me! :) Thanks for the suggestion!

    Oh, that makes sense. I'll check it out.

    This isn't standard HTML markup... It must be some sort of custom zoom.it markup. I'm afraid you'll need to find someone familiar with zoom.it markup to help you with that.

    Hmmm... I thought that was a separate product rather than a "viewer" version of Photoshop. Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out!

    The problem I run into when trying to use a different image editor, like Gimp, is that sometimes my clients send me PSDs with complicated photoshop layer masks/filters that come across wrong/weird in anything else.

    I've used Kinko's for this in the past when I lived close to one. Unfortunately, it's kind of a long drive from where I live now, so it's not the most economical solution. Thanks for reminding me, though; I had forgotten about that as an

    Unfortunately, my clients send me PSDs at random points throughout the year, so I can't squeeze my usage into a single month. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

    Thanks -- it looks like this is the only viable option for me.

    I get clients sending me PSDs, every once in a while, that I can't just export as-is with Wenovo PSD Viewer. It's kind of a pain to have to chase down a designer pal just to have him or her turn on/off a layer or two and export to PNG for

    It looks like the script is trying to swap to a higher resolution tile before that high-res tile is fully loaded, resulting in a black square in the interim.

    Yup! I usually try to lump my "need a car" tasks together and get a car for a weekend from Enterprise. Here in Seattle, they have ongoing weekend specials during fall/winter for $30+tax ($36.20 altogether) for Friday-Monday (72 hours).
