Linda... likely when I go to bed (Atlantic time zone) ;)

Paula, an additional hint has been given a bit before. Just scroll up a bit.

Diane, you should be able to do the same thing I did. I ran the script on an image, then separated all the pieces (they were all on separate layers), saved them as png, zipped them, and put clues in different locations with a link to download the zip file. Drop me an email if you need more details.

Don't give up. I don't want anyone to end up with unfinished puzzles. I will give additional hints, tomorrow if you are still stuck, but so far, scroll back on this thread as many hints have been given.

Hint for #11 I can still use PSP even if I have a low vision.

Julie, the pieces don't need to be rotated or flipped (I didn't make it that hard to put together). Take a breather. Another tip: the pieces should be placed in order of their number. I was too lazy to make it more complicated. Hint for #9: There is the new way and the "old way" to set up your PSP. Diane, oh no! you are still getting that error? Bummer! Hint for #8: Did you check all the resources listed in the menu? Hint for #10: I also have tips and tricks about colored focus and interlacing in that section.

Here is a summary of the additional hints so far: Hint for #2: All those supplies need to be saved in their proper location. Hint for #3: You can also swap heads with anyone else. Hint for #5: PaintShop Pro can use several Photoshop supplies. Hint for #9: I certainly prefer the “old” Materials palette. Hint for clue #12 It took me at least half an hour to show how to turn someone into a witch. That was a spooky video. Hint for #13: The “sandwich” helps teach beginners about layers.

I did contact my host and hopefully, the 403 errors you experienced, SHOULD be taken care of. Let me know if it is not the case.

Hint for #3: You can also swap heads with anyone else. Hint for #13: The "sandwich" helps teach beginners about layers.

Gramie, I am surprised by that information. I'll check with my host to see if something can be done. Thank you for that additional information.

Yes Cindy, the draw for the previous activity was done, and Lois did win and she was contacted.

Linda, I think the server was tired with so much unusual traffic. To everyone who are "stuck", don't despair. You still have 2 days, and we will help you. Take a break if needed. Sometimes, a fresh look will make more sense. Additional general hints: - as Deanna mentioned, think of keywords *IN* the clues. - some pieces will be in the blog, but several will be in other sections available through the menu. - there is a menu on top of the site, but also in the footer I think that should be enough for today. Let's continue tomorrow. Thank you to all those giving hints without giving the answers. I think it makes the game more fun.

Deanna, check this post for an additional clue.

Hint for #2: All those supplies need to be saved in their proper location. Hint for #5: PaintShop Pro can use several Photoshop supplies. Hint for #9: I certainly prefer the "old" Materials palette.

Hint for clue #12 It took me at least half an hour to show how to turn someone into a witch.

Pirkko, which ones?

Corrie, when you are done the puzzle, you send me a jpg version (you can resize it too). The address is at the bottom of the page with the clues.

Hint for #3: Wouldn't it be nice to replace anyone's head in a photo?

For anyone getting a 403 error, that is just something random and temporary. It is probably because there are a lot of people visiting the site at this time and the server is a bit surprised by that traffic. Keep refreshing or take a break and come back a little later. Nothing is actually forbidden in this treasure hunt.

HINT for #13: Michele, the "sandwich" is used to teach about Layers to beginners.

Cindy, when you hover your cursor on top of the image, does it say Piece15.zip or does it say something else? If you find the image on a different page, does it say something else?

About clue #16, here is a little help. An important keyword is used on every survey sent after a Master Class you attend. ;)

Cindy, all the pieces are available since this morning and they will all be available until Sunday night.

For our 11th-year Anniversary Celebration, we will be hosting a TREASURE HUNT for you to win great prizes. All the clues will be available on this page, on September 8th. If you are stuck, you can ask questions in this thread. To keep it interesting, I would ask that nobody gives the direct answers or the direct URL for any clue. I don't want anyone to get frustrated, but I also want you to visit the Campus (don't worry, there is no walking involved). Have fun!

Yes Fiona, if you posted your location in this thread before, I have added it to the map.
