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 & After #139".

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 Tuesday, 9 December at 8pm (East).
I'm moving it a few hours later to suit everyone.

This is a shot from today, fresh out of the camera and just cropped. She is a first time model and this is her version of Air Guitar!

Go all out folks... make it SING!

Cropped, curve adjustment and levels for brightness and a bit of contrast
selected background - changed hue.
Selected shirt etc - changed hue.
Color balance on overall picture
Blurred parts of hair (in color version)
Don't think I did anything other than color and contrast adjustments...
Converted #1 to B&W (I'll count it my official entry)

OK...here's my attempt:

Stuck in a microphone and a stand. Used free transform - warp & perspective to make them fit a little better.
Messed around with the fingers of her left hand to make them seem to be more "around" the microphone.
Changed to B&W.
Changed the background to white.
Duplicated - then set that layer to "overlay".
Added border.

WOW Thanks!!!
I'm so surprised that not many people were able to do this edit it was a great photo to work with.

Congrats everyone else on the great edits. Squip I really liked what you did to the background on the pink edit.

Next one is up
