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 #222".

This is all about having fun so have at it!!!

Contest ends 4pm CST on Thursday the 24th.

I decided to delete it.something between Aperture and Smug is not showing the same edits...it comes here and its way too light as opposed to what there is in APerture, and I am exporting directly from Ap to SMug.:(

Congrats Spitfire - nice work!

Sweet entries all, and I resisted editing for this one (started an edit, but killed it). Chrisa you may not have been around B&A long enough to know that I would have done something evil and nefarious to your wee snuggler. :)

Spit - can you name the next B&A #222A?

The numbering has drifted...
