It's PRIZE competition time!!! - "Inspired by Photoshop"

[carregwen]

Here's what you need to do.

1. Think of a piece of Photoshop terminology, eg; - curves, wand, select, layer, RAW (that should be an interesting one), clone, etc. I'll take products other than Photoshop provided you explain what the term is/does. You may enter a word shot that has already been used by someone else (yours is better isn't it!)

2. Take a shot that embodies that word. Edit it and post it to this thread as an entry. Give it a title which is just the word/phrase you have chosen. You may enter as many as you want, but one image per post please.

3. On September 1st I will judge entries and select a winner. My decision is final. Trust me, I'm a fair-minded, liberal, Guardian reading, left-of-centre, kind person!

The prize? An A3 high-quality print of any shot from my website or Flickr account. How vain is that. Posted to your door.

I'll send the best entries to Adobe, and they will pay us $10,000 for using them.

I might have lied about that last bit.

Here is an example I took a few days ago....

Well done, Wendy, and thanks for being the first. I never thought of crop. Good shot

Whilst I wait for my creativity to cook.....here's one I prepared earlier

[ScoutR]

these are old shots that I could put a name to. Main priority for shooting right now is to get a portrait for Colin's lesson, when that is done, I can try to get some new ones specifically for this exercise. (Maybe)

Love it! And the boys are nice...

[wilgk]

aaah the wonder that is the Western Digital external lots of terabytes hard-drive, this one from April this year.

[carregwen]

Of course, the real test is when we start inventing Photoshop terms that Adobe haven't dreamt up yet... Like the 'grunge' tool, or 'bake', for over-cooked shots.

Just for you then

[wilgk]

Just for you then

his wee bag could be holding his 'quick selection tool/s' perhaps?

[ScoutR]

LOL, good one Kay - maybe Rob will know

Still laughing

Very good. Is he building a bridge.

What about this one?

[carregwen]

You folks need a hand with ideas perhaps?

smart object

scripts
layer
mask
vanishing point
distort
pixelate
grain
noise
pinch
ripple
liquify
high pass
move
marquee
eye dropper
eraser
blur

Lovely shot! Did you use the Orton method? Great texture and colour to it. I can see it's going to be hard to decide a winner here.

Absolutely... I first edited the image in DPP (Digital Photo Professional) for some minor corrections and then I applied an Orton effect. Thanks for your comment Rob !

[triggerhappy]

hi.

Maybe this one will be qualified for mask.

[Maritimer1]

These are all so unbelievably clever. Great idea, Rob!

Off to look up Orton effect, Tamara. What lush tones in your photo.

Yep, good one. I like it.
