Photoshop Phun
 
I took part in a forum game like this on another website a while back and remember having loads of fun with it. I also stole the title, would you believe?

I'm sure you've seen it before. Basically, the idea is that someone posts a source photo and everyone else manipulates it to their will (using photo-manipulation software like Photoshop, Gimp, or MSPaint if absolutely necessary). After an amount of time, the person who posted the original photo selects a winner, and the winner posts the next source photo and it just goes on and on like that.

The last site I did this on was considerably more active, so they gave a day between source images. I s'pose we could start this off with a three-day time limit from posting of source image to declaration of winner and see how it goes from there? It's based on the activity of the members so there's going to be some leeway regardless, but three days seems like a good place to start as a guideline. (EDIT: 5-7 DAYS SEEMS LIKE A GOOD PLACE TO START AS A GUIDELINE)

Example:

The winner posts a good, high quality source image.

And others have a go at photoshopping it.

Then, after 5-7 days, the source-poster selects a winner and the winner posts another source image, and so on.



So, if you want to take part, just take part! Obviously this works a little better when more than one person is actually doing stuff, so I encourage you all to give it a red-hot go. It's good fun and great for practice with Photoshop as well.

And, here is first source image:

[The high-res image is in the attached thumbnails area. I honestly have no idea how to get those actual, full-size images on the post without stretching the page, so I just uploaded them twice in two different sizes]

Let me know if I missed anything, and enjoy!

This seems like fun and I'm guessing that this would be MM's forte. His editing tells stories. I will contribute but not yet.

Instantly thought of Left 4 Dead.

I like this game. This could be really fun :)

I've got a bit too much to be getting on with, I'm afraid. But thanks!

That's actually pretty cool looking Crashpunk!

squeak117 06-30-2012 03:01 PM

Hah, love it Crashpunk! Love the little detail with Nick having less health.
I will say, though, that the guy is a dead ringer for Francis rather than Nick. Thanks for taking part!


I decided to give this one a go, as well. Just for fun.

haha Very nice. I love the detail.

squeak117 07-03-2012 12:24 AM

As only one person has entered (thanks, Crashpunk!) it doesn't make much sense to call a winner just yet. I'll let it go another two days and hope at least someone else gets in on this.

So, someone else get in on this!

This looks pretty fun, though I don't have photoshop. :L

I think I'll just watch.

If you ever did want to have a go at it, you could try using GIMP. I've never used it myself but a lot of people I know who don't have Photoshop use this instead and say it does the job just fine.

I think for the sake of progression (and the fact that it was a great entry!), I'll give the win to Crashpunk now.

So good!
Crashpunk just needs to post another source image and hopefully more people will enter in the next round!

You picked a difficult one, but the position of the two guys reminded me of something.

It started out as a harmless game of ship's mast with his girlfriends...

5-7 days seems like a good time-frame for people to participate at this point, I'd say.
Agreed?
