Photo Entry Uploader and Downloader
We are delighted to be collaborating with the author of the PhotoEntry software/service. This provides complementary features to those in DiCentra including uploading of images to the cloud by entrants, downloading competition entries ready to load into DiCentra as well as other management functions.
Support for downloading images from, and uploading results to PhotoEntry is now built into DiCentra itself, known as PEX. The documentation is here and you can order a licence here.
What are PhotoEntry’s main features?
PhotoEntry is a web-based service for managing photo competitions and is suitable for both clubs and federations. It allows:
-
Administrator(s) to manage club members’ credentials as well as their class(es) for various categories of competition.
-
Administrator(s) to create competitions and assign them to a chosen category.
-
Entrants to upload images and change them, if necessary, until the administrator closes the competition.
-
PhotoEntry checks submissions by entrants against the criteria for the competition and warns of or rejects invalid images.
-
Once closed, the administrator can export the competition in a suitably formatted Zip file ready for input to DiCentra and send confirmation emails to entrants.
-
After a competition, administrators can transcribe marks from DiCentra to PhotoEntry for later analysis.
-
Entrants can track their previous entries and the marks obtained.
-
Facilities are provided for administrators to aggregate marks in a variety of ways over a group of competitions.
Register for a trial version of the software by going to the PhotoEntry website.
(An old guide to help DiCentra users set up PhotoEntry for their competitions and download from within PhotoEntry is available here. The PhotoEntry user interface has changed since this guide was written and use of PEX is recommended instead.)

Check Display Gamma
For custom display/projector profiles, Windows 10 does not always load the Gamma table from its default display profile into the display adaptor. This typically appears as a colour cast for applications, including Photoshop, Lightroom etc.. This application allows you to fix this problem.
Note: DiCentra does set up the correct gamma table for the selected projector profile, so the projected image is displayed correctly without a cast
To install: Download the application, unzip it and run the .exe file when you want to check the gamma table.
