Photoshop Competitions
« on: May 12, 2009, 01:21:00 am »
Inspired by recent posting in the Post your own picture thread, I'm wondering if anybody would actually be interested in taking part a photoshop competition?

We'll need a couple judges (3 max) that will pick a picture to photoshop from the internet or something, and then everyone who isn't a judge who wants to participate can submit a couple (hopefully) funny, weird, or whatever image.

I'd like to judge interest before we get too far with this.  Post here if you'd be interested in either being a judge (and not participating that week/session) or if you'd like to participate.
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

I'll volunteer to be a "naïve" judge.  By that I mean I have very little knowledge of the specifics of the shoops, art, photography, etc., but I'm happy to throw my opinion in there if it means anything. : )

I'm terrible with Photoshop, but I feel as I'm the objective figurehead, I can be the objective judge. :)

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I can be a judge that waits till the last minute to give rankings, making everybody wait!

(just kidding, I don't want to be a judge :) -- I think the whole competition idea is silly, why can't everybody who wants to do the photoshopping, and nobody judges them? :) )

I think you're just afraid you're going to lose and/or embarrass yourself!!!  :D
The once grove of splendor,
Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

What will the incentive be? You know, other than bragging rights.

I didn't say it included food.

Touche. :)

I wouldn't mind partaking as an outside judge if that's ok with everyone else.

I'm not particularly skilled with Photoshop, but if Towelie is going to partake, then based on his previous work with Armin and while1, I think I have a fighting chance.

[Edit] Got names mixed up. Corrected.
