Alternative Photoshop Tennis - Some Rules

Blisterman

This thread is an alternative to http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055064204, with a more technical emphasis.
The difference being that the changes must be subtle. I'll leave the definition of subtle up to you, they can be realistic, fantasy, hyperreal, funny up to you.
The main rules are ,
A) You can't change an image too much, in one iteration. For example, no having the whole previous image being in a screen in a completely different image.

Changes Should try to be as seamless as possible. Not nessasrily photorealistic, but again, I'll leave the definition flexible.

I think the other thread is hillarious, and this is not meant to replace it. There's no reason why 2 different photoshop tennis threads can't run similtanously.

Here's an image of a muddy field from glastonbury to start with.


Good Luck

forbairt

simple enough change ...

Citizen_Erased

Glad to see this happening

can we also call it whenever we need a bit of time to do something complicated ?

Blisterman

Yeah, that's a good idea.

NeVeR

I don't know, but I hope I've provided an avenue for possible development with my last one.

NeVeR

ahhhh... this started off as a good one... it's just like the other one now..

The difference being that the changes must be subtle.

Citizen_Erased

yeah but the other image got to crowded , there would have to be a change eventually , and then putting a curl in the corner of the image pretty much sealed its fate to me , should really revert to http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/3027/aps3xa0.jpg .

maybe go this way...


I think the game could work better if we just accept an image is dead and start with a new stock one every now and again maybe ?

5uspect

I don't know, the curl could have been easily modified with a tack or a piece of tape to put it back up.

The problem with this kind of photoshop is limited real estate. It would probably be better to use higher res images with lossless compression and/or introduce a image after say 20 posts.

Blisterman

Well, you could always remove parts of it, and replace them with something else, keeping it fresh.

Again though, the key is subtlety.

Citizen_Erased

Blisterman

Maybe it is time to start with a new image.

I'll let someone else pick a starting image, this time.

Here is a fairly bland one form Barcelona that could do with some subtle sharpening, curves adjustments etc. Some creative additions could also make this very nice also!



Hi res version attached below!

Citizen_Erased

damn me for breaking my acer , this looks like a good image and all

5uspect

surely you can do something in MS paint?!

Citizen_Erased

Well im typing now from my acer , but it is sans backlight , just about reading the screen , nopt exactly up to image manipulation ... still parts ordered , just gotta bide my time .....

5uspect

Ouch, ccfl gone? I had to replace the backlight on herself's Acer not too long ago.
Its a wee bit tricky to install but not too difficult. Good luck.

Citizen_Erased

this thread is certainly going sideways but not the tube themselves but the inverter to power them gave up on me , 25 euro and its up and running again . Should be back soon enough , surely theres a third person to play this tennis til then ?

A more refined version of ps tennis is a great idea! The original ps tennis thread tended to become crowded and tacky with constant moronic barry scott pics :rolleyes:

But i think you guys have swung too far in the opposite direction i.e. the changes are far too subtle. The fist image in this thread was going well and should have continued into a new pic with the curling edge. The changes were subtle and well done and the flow was good. But completly changing to a random pic was a bad idea. It has broken the flow. And the changes to the new image are far too subtle to the point that you cant even see them!

I think you guys should maintain the ideas of subtlety and flow but allow creative transitions into new scenes instead of just picking a random new pic.

Sebzy

Subtle eh?
