Photoshop Tennis (Round 1)

[bailey239]

Well after some time of no activity from me I decided to come back with a game I think most here will enjoy. Have fun with this one!!!

Lets play Digitalscrapbookplace PHOTOSHOP TENNIS! The premise is simple, a group of photoshoppers (or any other good photo editing software) take turns in altering an image. Get it? if not see example below.

Rules--

1) ALL content made must be appropriate and follows Digitalscrapbookplace forum rules.
2) Must stay in the original file size dimensions. (DO NOT RESIZE) Generally, this will be a large high quality image like 1024 x 768. Uploaded to 4shared.com for you to download the high quality image. (do not use the preview in comments on forum)
3) Each round lasts two weeks.
4) Each turn must change the image from the last turn, but still retain elements from the previous image.
6) After you do your turn you must wait for a minimum of 2 alters to be made, or wait 3 hours.( and post a preview of the outcome in the comments for others to view in the thread)
7) After you make an alter, post it as a jpeg.
8 ) Once you decide to make a edit post a comment with the next corresponding number from the previous post. (e.g. the post before was edit #3, you would post a comment in the thread for others to know you will be edit #4)
9) Reserves generally last 3 hours max. Extra time can be allowed if you are almost done, just make sure you make a post saying that.

So I will start with this Image

And after one edit
http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g190/matt4chris/Deweydamedited.jpg
Feel free to alter it in anyway, no matter how small or large, just make sure there is some elements from the previous poster.

here is the link for the first person to download this above image.
(make sure to leave a comment so everyone knows you are working on this picture)
AND MOST OF ALL HAVE FUN WITH IT!!!

Hi Bailey. this looks like a cool game. btw your links are shortened so they aren't working.

[bailey239]

Well hello mars, long time no talk to, thanks for letting me know I will fix them now.
Hope you enjoy!!

Hum thats funny I tried to fix it but it still ended up shortened, but the link works for me. try it again and let me know if it still is not working. thanks!

[flrebareba]

Hmmm I just clicked on it and it worked for me..

[MarsOlson]

hi reba! lol I think he must have fixed it now. If you copy and paste from word or from a comment, sometimes the links get truncated so you have to actually paste the full url.

[MarsOlson]

oh and I would like to do this but I think I will check back cuz I have a bunch of layouts I really need to do first before I can play.

[bailey239]

no worries, I just hope the isea catches on.
I selected the picture because it is one of my newest and because it is fall, but to start the game any player can post their own picture they would like, as long as they post the original in the comments for others to view and than post the finished edit with a link for someone else to download and edit and so on...

Don't be shy to be the first to play, it's a learning game. :)

[volvoguy]

Quite an interesting change in the picture. I'll wait and see what the next change do to it.

[shazzt]

Oh - this looks like lots of fun. I will definately be having a go at some stage!

[bailey239]

Remember it's all just fun, throw a picture of big foot in there and re-upload it, no matter how big or how small, just have fun with it. I can't wait to see the first edit.

[debilou]

I'm sorry, I have the file modified... but having problems with the 4 shared upload..

I use "you send it"

So, go on.. let some one else go... dont' want to hold the game..

Your more than welcome to uploaded your edited photo to any filesharing site that is free to all users.
Even if you have a photobucket account it allows you to upload a 1MB file and keep its dimensions, as long as others can go there and view and download it and you can post a preview here in the comments it really don't matter what service you use.

[Ineke]

I have had a go at this - this is my Australian contribution - an Aborigine playing the Didgeridoo - I hope I have uploaded this correctly - please let me know if I havent and I will change it.http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z199/Ineke02/Dewey-dam-edited.jpg

[bailey239]

yes that is excellent!!!I really like it and thanks for participating.
For the next person just right click and save image as to your hard drive and repost it when your done.

[volvoguy]

Here's my entry. Who's next?

http://www.4shared.com/file/71816292/35587ad2/Dewey_dam_3.html

[caraffle]

Question, do I just add to this or can I delete something that does not fit my idea?

[Ineke]

Oops just noticed 2 of us must have been working on it at the same time - how do we fix it?:confused::confused:

[bailey239]

this is all a learning experment for all of us, any suggestions would be welcome.
The only thing i can think of would be to post a comment in the thread to let others know you are working on the photo so others don't jump your post.

to caraffle---> you can add and delete what you want as long as you leave some elements from posters before your edit.

Here is volvoguy's entry

[volvoguy]

Oops just noticed 2 of us must have been working on it at the same time - how do we fix it?:confused::confused:

I redo my addition to the photo and a later time. Let's continue with your entry.

[volvoguy]

Tell me how you posted the large picture in the thread.

[bailey239]

You need to post the picture to a imaging website like photobucket (requires sign up) or imageshack (no sign up) and after it's uploaded there you just copy the direct link and in the advance options when posting a reply there is a picture icon click that and paste the link in between the 2 sets of brackets.

[caraffle]

Bailey, maybe we could number our photos and say "I will be #4" after # 3 has posted
You do understand that many of us are not tech savy

[bailey239]

okay great idea caraffle, for example

#1 = Me
#2 = Ineke52
#3 = lets start here since it was rather un-organized


so someone post a comment letting others know that they would like to be #3

[caraffle]

So, #3 was VolvoGuy http://www.4shared.com/file/71816292...wey_dam_3.html

I am working on #4 So (BTW, I am Chris aka Raffie)
as soon as I figure it out I will be back with my wine induced version of the Dewey Dam, blocking the vast deep blue sea.

[caraffle]

OK, I hope this worked!

Tennis Anyone #4 (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=289535&cat=500&ppuser=43908)
Ok, I admit it, I went crazy. Mt intention was to find a lake photo from 5 years ago, it would have worked well but then I couldn't find it and went for a diving photo but there wasn't enough water so I still had to replace the water and well..........I decided the "moon" made a funny sun!!!!!
Who is next?

[JaeDee]

Okay I am going to give this a try! I have the photo!

[caraffle]

Go for it JaeDee you will be #5....we are numbering ourselves to try and stay organized.I can't wait to see yours, you have such amazing photos.

[bailey239]

Great job caraffle, very creative!!!! so that is edit #4
#4 = caraffle
http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g190/matt4chris/dsp%20game/Dewey_dam_4.jpg

Can't wait to see your Picture!!!

[JaeDee]

[JaeDee]

what am I doing wrong?

[bailey239]

Here is my shot at this fun game. I hope this works.

http://www.4shared.com/dir/10475265/7707f95c/sharing.html[img]


Very nice Jaedee!! the link you wraped in img tags is to the download link rather than a picture host, i suggest everyone use imageshack or photobucket to upload their pictures. this is uploaded to my photobucket account and it should look like this
http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g190/matt4chris/dsp%20game/Dewey_dam_5.jpg with this code [IMG]

Here is JaeDee's edit
http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g190/matt4chris/dsp%20game/Dewey_dam_5.jpg
Next up is #6

[JaeDee]

Thanks!

[bailey239]

sorry I haven't been quite clear on how to post images in the comments, I hope this picture will help you all.

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g190/matt4chris/dsp%20game/howtopostpics.jpg

[MarsOlson]

Wow! this looks so creative! what fun

[bailey239]

I'm glad you like the idea Mars, I am looking forward to seeing how creative you take it.:D

[quanita]

Hi I think I will play next :) Looks Fun

[MarsOlson]

oh I loved Inky's digeridoo guy, hope he gets put back

[quanita]

Here is mine, had to restrain myself from getting too carried away :lol:
Q= #6

http://www.qspace.id.au/downloads/Dewey_dam_6.jpg

[caraffle]

Hey Q, That is too fun!

[bailey239]

Really nice quanita, I like the dolphin playing with that ball :cool: I hope everyone's enjoying the game.
So that makes #6..... #7 anyone?

[luv2stamp82]

This is the coolest little game! I don't have time to join in right now, but I will keep watching!

[bailey239]

hello everyone, I hope that everyone is enjoying this game, but I'm going to need some opinions from the people playing. In my original rules it says we will work with the same picture for 2 weeks, I'm now thinking that's a little to long for one picture? What if we changed it to a certain # of edits, like 10-15? Any suggestions would be great.

[volvoguy]

I love the placement of the Aborigine on the inland that is the home of Alcatraz. A person from Australia on an inland from San Francisco Bay in an ocean that was originally a reservoir in Florida(??). Who's next!?

[bailey239]

The original picture was taken at Jenny Wiley state park in Prestonsburg, KY. And if there is no other takers for #7 I'll go ahead with it.

[bailey239]

Here is #7 by me

[debilou]

Thanks for the new GREAT instructions...

I love the way the photo is coming together...

How many rounds do we go... before we start a new photo... just curious...

[bailey239]

well I was hoping that we could all agree on a certian numbers of edits, I was thinking somewhere between 10-15, but I think 10 would be a good number? let me know what everyone else thinks.

[debilou]

I think 10 is good... but let's play a few rounds and see if that makes sense...

And, gosh we could always, change the rules...

Thanks my vote...

[caraffle]

debilou, I can't wait to see your edit.

Oh, I agree, 10 - 15 sound more 'doable' I guess you Bailey, as our fearless leader, should make the decision as to when to start over with a new original photo.

[debilou]

I will, I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon.. I'll be back later..

I have a couple of ideas depending on what is done next...

But, I won't tell what they are... my secret.

I have so many photos to draw upon... so, the SKY's the limit... oh, my imagination... but I've played this before.. a while back... on a photo site..

[debilou]

I'll take round 8

[bailey239]

Okay I think after 10 edits it would be rather hard to try and keep aspects from all the other edits in tact, so I think 10 would be a good solid number, so we shall try that. On another note how about suggestions for the next "original" picture to start out with? If anyone has a picture they think would be fun for this game by all means post it and see what the others think about it.

[debilou]

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee180/danders8/Dewey_dam_8.jpg

Hope I got this right

And, we have a hot air balloon sighting

[bailey239]

very nice debilou, everything worked perfectly. Any suggestions on the next "original" picture should be?

[debilou]

I have 1000's of photos...

but, thought this might have potential

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee180/danders8/dspphototennis1.jpg from Route 66

[debilou]

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee180/danders8/DSPPhototennis2.jpg From the New Mexico Balloon Fest But, lots of room in the sky and on the field...

[quanita]

That is super Cool, I second Debilou's pic for the next round,
and agree 10 turns would be a great place to play around with.

Also think maybe a Grand Canyon shot, I could look at getting one of Uluru (Ayers rock) here, and maybe we could also try a movie poster?

Which one Q, I posted 2 different ones???? And, I have a bunch of Grand Canyon ones... trying to find the right one.. with both sky, some depth... and some ground...

[bailey239]

All great ideas, I would have to vote for the balloon Pic, I think we could go a long way with that one. love all the ideas though, and maybe next we will try the grand canyon idea? I think we should move on to the next picture now because the picture is getting rather crowed, does everyone agree?

[debilou]

I agree, it was a great first round.. but I think we get the drift, and know a little bit more about placement...

So, let's go on..

I posted it - so go ahead... who will take the Tennis ball and SERVE....

[debilou]

The Grand Canyon...

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee180/danders8/dspphototennis3.jpg

And, still waiting for the serve from ROUND #2

Balloon Festival...

[JaeDee]

Okay I will take the Ballon Festival photo! Be back with my changes!

[quanita]

Are we going to start a new thread for each "Game" or just keep going in this one?

[debilou]

I guess we could have 2 Photo tennis games going... Q, do you want to SERVE up the Grand Canyon Round 1.... Go ahead... I think we are just making up the rules..

Some one stop me if you don't agree..

The only rule so far is 10 rounds...

How long you wait which is posted in the first message..

[quanita]

You are just getting way too excited Debilou :)

I think we should stick to one game at a time, and maybe start storing up ideas for the next one if we know the pic before hand?

So Jaedee can you start a new thread with the Hot Air Balloon?
and then I would like to be number 1 in the next game for the Grand Canyon
and just for put (oops I mean pot) luck I would like Jaedee to add me as number 3 for the Hot Air Balloon Game

We should probably re-post Bailey's initial rules + 10 rounds in each new Game?

Love the enthusiasm! I haven't joined in yet... have some scrapping to get done first. However I was thinking it might get confusing if more than one person was starting threads for rounds. Maybe wait for Bailey to organize and start each new round?

[bailey239]

I would agree with quanita, I think we should stick to one game at a time, but that is up to who ever is playing I suppose. I am still waiting to hear back from someone about weather or not to start a new thread for each game or to just keep it all in one thread? if anyone running the site happens to read this just let us know how it would be better for the site. Also I revised the rules to what we have all agreed on so far and can make changes as we go.

RULES

1) ALL content made must be appropriate and follows Digitalscrapbookplace forum rules.
2) Must stay in the original file size dimensions. (DO NOT RESIZE) Generally, this will be a large high quality image like 1024 x 768.
3) Each round lasts 10 edits (or untill we all agree).
4) Each turn must change the image from the last turn, but still retain elements from the previous image.
6) After you do your turn you must wait for a minimum of 2 alters to be made, or wait 3 hours.( and post a preview of the outcome in the comments for others to view in the thread)
7) After you make an alter, post it in the comments as a jpeg.
8 ) Once you decide to make a edit post a comment with the next corresponding number from the previous post. (e.g. the post before was edit #3, you would post a comment in the thread for others to know you will be edit #4)
9) Have fun!!!

[bailey239]

Mars I am glad you came, Should I start a new thread or just re-post rules and new image in the comments?

[bailey239]

I started a new thread here http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35248

[debilou]

One game at a time is a ok with me... the rules look good.. let's serve it up..

[MarsOlson]

didn't mean to tell anyone how to do this! I just know how easy it is to get confused. lol. I have a couple more things to finish up and I will be following this until then. It's so creative to see each new edit!

[Tara]

It is totally up to you how you want to do it - - you can keep going in this thread or start a new one each time. It *might* be easier for people to follow along if you start a new thread for each game - - but you have to name them similarly so people don't miss them! This sounds like a really fun game...someday I may even come play! :)

[bailey239]

Thank you for your reply tara, and I do hope to see you play as well :)

[caraffle]

Just one point of clarification. When I did this before, the object was to go for a final photo that 'almost' looks like it could be real. We need (my opinion) to concentrate on making the new creation 'almost' real and not just add something to add something. Just my opinion, I think it will be more of a challenge and stretch our photoshop abilities. When I did it before, we really tried to keep our object in perspective and DID delete items from the previous photo or add ones to hide old elements. Just my opinion, and I will do it whichever way everyone else wants to play it.
I am having fun! Thanks Bailey!

[debilou]

I agree with you, when I played on a true photo site.. that was not so much a rule, but let's say a part of the "game"...

[debilou]

Also, Bailey, do you want to set up a THREAD just for a poll for the next game...

Like out of your photos... your oh, lost the first name " ... Florida" photo would be perfect in my opinion...

[bailey239]

I like the idea about the poll but I don't know how to set up a thread for that, and I have no objection to any ideas as far how the game is played. If everyone wants it to be more of a challenge and go for a picture in the end that is more "believable" that is fine with me. also I just had the thought to bring this game here for everyone to play, if someone else wants to make a new thread with the game and make it a little different I would have no problem with that. So anyone out there feel free to mold this game however they like if it's fun for everyone thats all that matter to me.
