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

Here's the breakdown of the game. I will post a picture, re-sized to exactly 1024 pixels maximum on the long side. Outside of being re-sized 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 #304".

To try to get a few more participants I'm going to extend this Before and After to 4 days instead of the regular 3 and let's try to bump the thread throughout the contest.

Please remember to post your enteries reduced in size to 1024 pixels on the longest edge


Contest will end on Thursday Aug 5th @ 6pm est - Good Luck

Liked the photo, many different ways to go about editing it.

Crop
Contrast
Brightness
Sharpen x2
Color filter
Denoise x2

And these image hosting services screw up the colors.

:(

Not supposed to be this yellow, or this dark.

Bump for B&A#303

& in response to the above, I notice no alteration to my photos when I use Flickr for my photos. Maybe try reposting using Flickr?

OK - all really nice enteries but I think this Before and After is going to MLF830

I PM them with the good news and a reminder that they have 24 hours to get the next "Before and After #304 contest going.


After 24 hours I think it's OK if the runner-up in this case NigelD will please perform the duties of the contest winner
