It sure is a hard one, with all those pieces of the same color!
But, i found a way to keep it understandable:

-In photoshop i group layers when i'm sure they stick together.
-I only add pieces to photoshop when i'm (almost) certain that i can place them.
-I have a "working directory" with all pieces, and remove the pieces that i added to photoshop.
-When i update the pieces in my puzzle directory in tm/skins/puzzle, i don't overwrite, that way i can easily find newly added pieces to copy to my "working directory" by sorting by date.

Hope it may help someone that is better in puzzling than me, my way to work may be efficient, but i'm very bad at puzzling, it will take me a year to finish :lol:
Yeah, I have a similiar strategy ;)
But maybe teamwork is the best? For example someone makes the edges, someone makes the cars, someone groups layers and so on.

I'm using a similar strategy as Knutselmaaster... but it's nice to hear his unique spin on it.

And @screech... I'm sort of doing that. I'm using DJinho's work as a template for mine. I still have to place every piece... but it's much easier with his finished parts behind mine.

It's hard to collaborate when we all work with a different set of pieces. I'm doing all I can to make sure I know which pieces I'm using and which I still need.

Adding a collaborator onto that would just further complicate things. If we had ALL the pieces when we started, perhaps it would have been easier. We could have all started with the same pieces and then each focused on different parts... and then shared PSD files to fit together the finished product.

As it is, I think we'll have the finished puzzle sometime tonight/tomorrow. We're making huge progress towards the final picture (well, the others are...)
