This game is to help those of us who are trying to learn new tricks when it comes to editing.

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 48hrs 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 and After #110".

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

I tried b\w, I tried to make the image look old, tried grainy, nothing worked for me because those sunglasses, their just to hip :-) So...I tried to make her fit those sunglasses by making her younger, key word here is tried.

Created layer to apply VP using the Ambiance setting, I then painted her back in allowing only the background to be affected.
I used liquify to shrink her nose, adjust the right side of jaw, shrinking it also.
Colored her hair some.
Cloned and cloned and cloned...
Healing brush
Used smudge just a little
Added sun flare to help hide my poor PS skills.

Congrats! I still stalk these threads, but I don't have time anymore to edit. Something I did quickly while watching the Sarah Connor Chronicles tonight ;)

Ok! new one is up!!
Its one of the photos I took just as I was starting to "get into photography" about a year ago. I had a few photos I was trying to pick from... I don't know which is harder, picking a photo to post or picking the winner?!

Anyways!
FrenchFx - I just wanted to say that you did an awesome job of making her appear younger!

She looks like a fun person :)


Kim ;)
