6TH FCHAT Photo Contest 11-2 to 12-2-09

Too early for winter, too late for fall.

Topic is Photoshop.

Wide open, just anything beyond auto adjustments. Artsy Pasted Masked. Go for it.

Could be like this pic, or whatever you do beyond auto.

Same rules. Photo taken within the times above.

hmm... I thought this was a photo contest

 

I have an idea... hopefully i'll have time to make it.

 

Just a suggestion: if you want to make a photoshop contest, perhaps ask people to post the original as well.

 

What's the matter gentlemen? I know you have a computer and are on the internet. And I know you all process photos.

Feeling a little Amish today?

 

If you don't have photoshop, you can always use GIMP. Cool idea yzee!

 

Agreed, GIMP is a good economical (read: free) alternative.

I'd still like to see the original so as to better observe the work that was done in post.

 

Could use Picnik too. The funny thing is I thought if I ever won one of these and chose the topic I would go just the opposite and make everyone post un-edited (or at least not post-edited) shots. This could be fun too, I've been playing in PS, picnik and gimp more lately!

 

That's what I used to edit a couple of my images. It's easier if you upload your images to flickr.

 

I'm actually taking a class right now and the prof bought a premium upgrade and is letting us all use it. Uploading can be kind of a pain but once there it seems to be easier to use than either photoshop or gimp. Gimp seems to REALLY slow down my desktop that already runs slow to begin with!

 

I used Photoshop as a verb. Any software program is fine. Only the final shot. This is not a photo forum and this is for fun. I am not an expert. I have Elements 7 and CS4 that I rarely use. I know what I know by pushing buttons. No classes. As far as photoshop not being a form of photography I hear that from some old farts and I'm on the edge of being an old fart, so I regress whenever possible.

Keep it real. Keep it fun. Keep it real fun!

 

Fine

Increased color saturation, multiply & overlay layers, and cloned out the stuff in the windshield and on the pavement

Easy part done... now I have a month to work the details. NOTE, this is not my entry... yet.

Here's mine. I went with B&W for an old photo look.
Sharpened, adjusted shadows/midtones/highlights.
Changed background.
Dodge/Burn brush used on wheels/tires and top/bottom of image.
Removed license plate.

Too much? Perhaps, but it is a pshop contest...

Alright here is my entry. Shot this the other day and had a lot of photoshoping to do. I did lens correction, fixed the exposure, the sky was really blown out. Upped the contrast and saturation.
