June, if by my photo you mean the one I offered a few posts ago for a future jigsaw, it's actually the painting I did in spring 2011 - see this thread https://www.theqe2story.com/forum/index.php/topic,1269.0.html the paintings part of the forum.

Hi Peter -

Thank you very much for your post and pointing me in the direction of the topic about your paintings.  Awesome, absolutely awesome.

I think it would be great to have a jigsaw based on a painting ! 

Would you suggest a puzzle size the same as your painting ?

Thanks !!

June  :)

Well, the painting is 20 x 30 inches but the image could of course be sized to fit on a standard 1000, 1500 or 2000 piece puzzle size - or indeed any other standard size; I do have a professional digital scan of it on disk so there should be no problem doing that.

Hi Peter -

Thank you very much for your message.

The 1000 piece Ravensburger puzzle is 27" by 20" and that is closest to the size of your painting. 

If you want to check out the various sizes available, go to Ravensburger Global and then go to Picture or Photo Puzzles.

What is your feeling about that size ?

Thanks,

June   :)

Looks good to me - yes, it's a very close fit.

Do I need to think about getting that disk copied yet?  ( I'm not going to risk the original disk in the post am I?! )

Hi Peter -

Thanks very much for your message.  I am thinking perhaps in early Fall sending in for another puzzle.

The image is uploaded directly from a file into Ravensburger's order form.  Attached is the resolution chart from Ravensburger's website.  Maybe Alan can offer advice as he got Alan Kirby's photo ready for the puzzle.  Also, if your painting is not signed, it would be nice to sign it on the file so you have credit for the painting. 

Definitely not send your disc.

Then we have the collage one in the works too.

I don't have the file on my computer; only on disk.  Easy enough to get it duplicated.  Not sure how big the master file actually is...!!

Yes, the painting is signed; lower right hand corner.

Hi Peter -

Thanks very much for your post.  I think it should be easy enough to upload the image from the disc to a computer file.  I brought the picture of the painting back up and see where you have signed it.  I think your painting will make a marvelous jigsaw and it will I am sure be rather nostalgic and emotional doing the puzzle based on where our beloved QE2 is now and the direction in which the ship is sailing in the painting.

Into the sunset, you mean?  Yeah...  If you PM me your address I can get a copy of the file made for you to handle with Ravensburger ( my home software is a bit ancient and might not cope if the file is really massive ).

Very interesting reading about possible future jigsaws.  :D

So, to review our jigsaw plans.

I will have Peter's painting made into a jigsaw mid to late September if that works for Peter.

And I had another thought about the next jigsaw for after the New Year.  It would be a large one with "The Pride of the Clyde" photo or a similar one across the top.  And then have the photos from the 2015 QE2 Story Calendar underneath, 4 blocks across and 3 blocks down, gaining, of course, permission from the photo owners for this project.

Feel free to come back with comments

OK June, sounds like you're ready so I'll get the master disk copied this week.

Hi Peter - Thanks very much for your post.  No hurry, though.  It sounds like you have something time consuming happening soon.  So whenever you can find the time is fine, but don't do damage to your business schedule.  June   :)

I do, June, it's a huge charity stunt later this month - but getting the disk copied wouldn't get in the way of that.
