This game is to help those of us who are trying to learn new tricks when it comes to editing.
Here's the breakdown of the game. I will post a picture that I choose, resized to exactly 1024 pixels maximum on the long side. Outside of being resized it has to be unedited...meaning no adjustments to any levels, it has to look like it did as it came out of the camera.
The game will last 72hrs and whoever can produce the best edited image (as judged by me) will be picked and it'll be their turn to post their unedited picture for all of us to take a crack at.
The participants must have their "Image Editing OK" turned on and they must provide at least a simple breakdown of how they edited the image, some entrants are a little vague on this point, please give us all details so we can learn and share tips. For instance if you use the unsharp mask tool or Smart Sharpen, provide us with the adjustments you used so others can try them out.
You can post multiple images, but the first image you post will be the one that is judged - all other images will be considered for knowledge and tip use only.
Also, please keep all comments, be they positive or negative, to yourself until after the game has ended.
If you happen to be the winner of the game please start the next one with the title of the game and the following number. For example…the next game should read "Before & After #167".
This is all about having fun so have at it!!!
**Personal Note – Since I’m new here on the boards, I’m hoping I got this right. The idea is to post not a “great” picture, but one that really needs some PP – right? We had gorgeous sunny clear weather for our private guided hike up Table Mountain, Cape Town South Africa. Yes, we climbed to the top! Brahm our guide (on the left) met us in the hotel lobby at 8am on Tuesday morning and we started off on the Platteklip Gorge Trail by 8:30AM. The climb started at 350m above sea level and finished at 1080m. The trail was easy to navigate except for the quad burning rock steps, steep ascent and crawling on all fours! Almost a 60 degree ascent at many portions throughout the climb. We finished the hike in 2 hours and then continued on further to Maclear’s Beacon—the highest point on the mountain. We did not hike down, but took the cable car. My wife Rochelle is on the right.
This round will end Friday 3/13 at ~12:00pm EST
