CCComp provides a means of setting up a digital image competition, previewing the submissions, judging and scoring the images, holding over images, reviewing winning images and printing entry and entrant certificates. It can also set up and manage a Club Image Library.
Details can be found in the help files available through the Download page of this site.
The program was developed under VB6 running in Windows 7 with Kaspersky Security Suite to protect against virus infection. It has been converted to VB.NET 2008. Both versions are being developed in parallel and the VB.NET version will soon be available. Any perceived demand for this will accelerate availability.
Main Features:-
- A simple Club Library facility enabling competition entries to be easily saved with a basic selection and exporting facility
- Reformat filenames for external competitions and record which images have been used in each of those competitions.
- Sequence images in a random order (fully random or cyclic by entrant) or by Image Title - or manually
- Run previews by Entry or Entrant Class at a predetermined (adjustable) speed
- Run judging sessions by Entry or Entrant Class allowing stepping forward and back
- Facility to Hold over Entries
- Select unscored, maximum scored or Held Entries for judging
- Show title for a predetermined time (adjustable from 0 to 99 seconds)
- Redisplay or hide those titles with one key stroke
- Record the Scores
- Accept scores with a predetermined (adjustable) maximum up to 99
- Accept half scores
- Allocate “Awards” such as “Best in Show” or “Starred”
- Review top and award winning images after the show
- Review all scores and totals after the show
- Lock competition to prevent changes other than scoring
- Complete Competitions to prevent changes including scoring and award allocation
- Export detail and summary reports to a csv file for processing in Excel
