Before and After #113

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 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 #114".

This is all about having fun so have at it!!!
Any edit, over-the-top creative or subtle, is encouraged!

This game will end on Thursday, October 2nd at 10:00 am (EST)

Sorry I took so long - aside from having forgotten, it was really hard to decide which edit I enjoyed most...
...BUT French, trusted and loyal friend, I had a good chuckle at yours - well done!
~ The edge of the boat (top) is just a bit fuzzy.

Better luck to you!
Go for it

I just couldn't find time for this one
When I was online last night and seen you still hadn't given the nod to frenchfx I started playing with it. I actually came up with one that I liked - cloned out the full boat and left only the one on the left... changed it to sepia and cropped some off the bottom. than ran an action that made it look like a spiral notepad..... then stupid me - i closed it thinking I was closing another version I had.....grrr so I went to bed instead.

good job french

I forgot too and just remembered this moment about this.

Yeah the top edge I couldn't get right for anything and the sign, I really didn't like it either. I fooled with it until I just gave up and posted it.

another one coming here in a little bit.
