Photo Manipulation Battle

[sintax321]

Ok i havent' tried a battle in a while because my first few nobody else who chalanged posted anything. It seems that the battle section has taken off now and chalangers actualy post.


I would like to have Photo Manipulation battle. Rules are pretty loose. Photo might be suplied by the moderator or might be what ever u want to use mod will decide. Only app allowed is Photoshop. You can use anything PS can do except Actions. Size and theme will also be decided by the mod. I would like to see around 5 ppl join. Anybody interested.

[prstudio]

i am

[sintax321]

so we needa bout 3 more ppl. If i mod is watching i would like u to wait till enough ppl ahve joind before you post the theme and such.

[teed]

i am interested

[sintax321]

lets try to get 2 more to make this interesting.

[mjULTRA]

i would like to participate in a photo manipulation. i suggest we all work from the same photo, and specify whether or not other images can be used, or if it all needs to be created from scratch...

[Law]

count me in
:egg:

[sintax321]

we are leaving that up to the mod. One photo will be used for sure. it won't be strait from scratch. Thus a Photo manipulation battle

[mjULTRA]

well one photo would be the start, but im saying, would we be allowed to import other photos, or are we going to hafta tweek the original one photo only?

[sintax321]

that is 5

any mod that comes through. IF you coud set his up we are ready to go.

[sintax321]

majeye that will be the mods call. They might give us one to start with or we might have to find our own to fit a theme.

[Dj.Stigma]

hmmm... I love the idea and i'd like to participate, but i'm not sure if i'll have enough time since my final exams are in a few weeks. But as for now, please count me in 2 ;-)

[sintax321]

we are jsut waiting for a mod.

[sintax321]

any mod. any mod at all. please come set this up. pretty please:)

[pom]

All right, looks good :)
Can you please post the picture you're going to use?

Theme: Photo Manipulation Battle
Date: 05/09/2003 (for my birthday, that will be a nice gift :beam: )
Soft: Any PS-like
Who: sintax, prstudio, teed, majeye, dj.stigma

Is that OK with you?

[sintax321]

If we are all working form the same photo i was hoping th mod would suply it. Or another impartialy third party.

[mjULTRA]

will we be able to use other photos of our own choosing for the manipulation, or are we to use photoshop only?

[redViper]

<- also in

[pom]

What kind of picture do you want? Buildings, people, nature...?

[sintax321]

it is totaly up to u POM. also up to u weather we are restricted to the one pic or if we can use others. I would give the pic to use but it wouldn't be fare to the other ppl. so it is mods choice really. Any theme any pic or you can just give a theme and we can find our own pics to fit the theme.

[Law]

you forgot me

[teed]

whats happenin peeps?

[sintax321]

we are just hamering out hte rules and what matrials can be used. As soon as POm dedides we will begin.

[mjULTRA]

Zzzzzz!

Can i get a what what???

Will this Battle ever get off the ground??

[sintax321]

OK we will vote.

One picture and that is all we have to work with.


We get a theme and we have to find our own photos to fit the theme.

[mjULTRA]

Wait, we all find our own photos? no, no, no.

We all need to start with the same photo, and manipulate it either with the use of other photos or without. This needs to be specified.

I suggest we have a starting photo, and then a group of five to choose from in order to add to the first one... Is this a good idea?

[pinx]

me too, i want to manipulate

[pinx]

i think finding your own photos for a theme is more interesting.

[UNFLUX]

I'll volunteer to moderate this battle and select the pic.

any objections?

[.soulty]

no objections here, I'm down with this battle but everyone should get the same set of 5 images, and use 3 or more to create one image.

[UNFLUX]

if I'm nominated as teh moderator, I'll decide all the basic rules.
not to worry. ;)

well?

[pom]

Sorry, I took a small vacation :beam: Unflux, I moderatorize you with pleasure :)

[mjULTRA]

i like soulty's idea about choosing five pics for all, and each person has to pick three of them to use in their manipulation..

[sintax321]

yep I'm wiht soultys idea. sorry i've been away i ha to reinstal windows.

[.soulty]

well its up to unflux. he is selecting the rules and the images. ;)

[UNFLUX]

cool, thx ilyas :beam:

ok give me just a little while to collect the images, then I'll post
them for you.

thx pinx. can't wait to see what you guys do with them! =)

[Jubba]

For future reference, if you guys need a moderator to set the rules, feel free to PM or e-mail me, or any of the other mods I'm sure wouldn't mind taking a few minutes.

I hardly ever check this forum because I'm too busy so if you are waiting for a mod, instead of complaining about it, PM ME! :P

:) I'll be happy to help out.

UNFLUX those images are awesome. :)

[UNFLUX]

sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes. i didn't think it was that big
of a deal to help start a battle. sorry :blush:

glad you like the images tho.

[sintax321]

I PM'd one or two mod's but i didn't really know how was moderating this section.

Great photo's. We should see some very differn tworks from each person. Good luck everyone. Looking at who is in this battle I seem to have my work cut out for me.

[Jubba]

UNFLUX: no toes were being stepped on. I was just saying that if they are hard pressed for a mod then to PM me. Dan is the 'official' mod of this section, but he's not around that often. I am on the forums on and off all day... so your probably more apt to get me than him.

[pinx]

i have already started, it will be very very weird looking.

[Whippersnapper]

I'd like to get in on some of this action.

[pinx]

hey baby, you can manipulate anytime. haha

[Whippersnapper]

Inappropriate!


Well.......okay.:pope:

[pinx]

whatever lechner, shut yo mouth boy!

[mjULTRA]

if you would like to participate, then feel free. just make sure to read the rules, and submit your design before the end of the contest deadline.. good luck to all who are participating..

[UNFLUX]

I added your name to the list. Please read the rules and have it
ready to submit by 5/20. :)

[Dj.Stigma]

You forgot about me *sniff* I also wanted to participate!
:trout:

[UNFLUX]

looks like I've been overtaken as mod of this battle...oh well

[pinx]

so i'm done, do i post it here?

[sintax321]

Post here if you are going to post

http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22974


Most ppl wait but it is up to u.

[.soulty]

is it kool if my image is 800 X 500 , i know it was said to be 800 X 600. but if thats the case, would i be able to make a little footer with my name/ title maybe?

[sintax321]

I know i wopnt' care to much. 100 pixels in ize isn't really an issue man. i probably wouldn't have noticed to start with. I think we can bend the rules a little as long as no one esle cares i'm fine wiht it.

[sintax321]

I was jsut wondering who out of like the 10 ppl are actualy working on a piece for this battle. If each one of u could jsut post a reply saying "here" taht would be great.

[pinx]

oh i'm pretty much done with it, i'm just waiting for everyone else to get done.

[mjULTRA]

here.

[prstudio]

oh wait...forgot about this thing lol

[replode]

ooohhhh!

is there still a chance for me to join. ive really been working alot in photoshop lately, and this sounds like fun. i know its due in like a week, but i'll still give it a shot.:)

[.soulty]

i'll finish it by this afternoon, if i can, been busy.

[UNFLUX]

yeah i don't care about the 100 px either. Not like you completely
ignore the dimensions or soemthing.

sure replode, go ahead!

[.soulty]

Hey, not sure which one i should have in the battle, which is better A without the dude , B with the dude?

A::

or

B:

[pom]

The one with the flying dude on his board looks strange... I mean, what is he doing here?? :P

[.soulty]

flying , lol !:P just thought i was like promoting the skate shop, called drop zone. you think the other one? without him, it was kinda my first choice anyway.

[UNFLUX]

where did the drop zone thing come from? you make it?

[.soulty]

yeah made up that drop zone thing :)

[UNFLUX]

using the skater image? only asking cuz i can't tell! =)

[.soulty]

yeah, skater image, was going to go for that graffiti look, but yeah turned out that way. just played with it, the skater is there some where else as well...hehehe :smirk:

[sintax321]

Pinx, Soulty. Replode. Are these the only guys who are going to make an entry. If so I'll post mine and we can get started. If any of the other 7 ppl who signed up for hte battle have an entry or are working on one please say so now.

[mjULTRA]

Whats the point of making the deadline on the 20th, and then asking people to submit early? If you want the contest to end on the 16th, then set the deadline on the sixteenth. I have yet to submit my entry, and i'd like to use the full amount of time to work on it...

By the way, there are some good entries so far, although they all look pretty similiar.

[sintax321]

Man i was just checking to see who else was going to submit something.

I never set the deadline and i figured if every one who was praticapating was ready to go we could get started. I was never asking any body to submit now i they were not ready. I was jsut asking that if every one who was particapating was ready to go we could start.

Use the full time i dont' care it was just a simple question.

[mjULTRA]

ok. sorry man. i didn't mean to grill you..

really though, im sorry. :)

[sintax321]

Np man my apolagies as well. both post didnt come across the way they where ment. no hard fellings(-:

[.soulty]

Sorry dudes, i probably started this. I wanted to post mine as soon as i finished so i didnt forget to post it by the due date. No hard feelings :smirk:

:: yeah i agree Majeye, they do look similar, almost made me want to change my design to something completely different, but i dont have the time, :-\
