[face=Comic Sans MS]Loving all these photo's. Talk about 'boys and their toys'

You must all have some serious (and no doubt expensive) photo editing gear.

Couldn't sleep last night so decided to have a play with the last picture and the rubbish photo stuff I've got installed.

Not really Hepzi, you can pick up a lot of these photo editing programs free off the web, you just need to be careful what you download

As for a lot of spare time, well they do not really take that long if you are used to using them

The hardest part is thinking something up

Edit: Your picture loaded after I posted

Great job Hepzi, some good effects there

See, it really isn't that hard to do

I also thought that the pyramids needed a bit of LLBesque rococo decoration.

Let's face it, they've been that same boring old sand brick colour for ages and it's time the tourists had something a bit more interesting to look at for their money.

Looks similar to the lichen on my roof

Like the wedding fayre Hepzi, great fun

The time consuming part is cutting out elements from other pictures that you want to use.....but if you save them in the programmes specific format, you can use them again and build up a library of useful cut-outs.

The other 'boys' have got some serious kit.....I have used a freebie circa 1997 for years but have just bought something more recent, Paint Shop Pro PhotoX2, on ebay from USA for about a tenner.........still prefer the old one though. As H said, it is what you get used to using.

Nothing from Andy this time?

So I have decided that"STAN IS THE WINNER"

Lots of near misses on the blue side so well done on the green.

Let's have a picture please Stan that we can all 'play' with.

Well done Stan

Post by **Horus** » Wed Aug 26, 2009 2:31 pm

Yes, well done

[face=Comic Sans MS]As Stan doesn't come over here very often, maybe someone needs to give him a nudge on the blue side (if it's not been done already).

I feel like I've won an Oscar! Never yet won the blue one, and first time I tried here, I managed to win it.

So, do I choose a photo for manipulation for the next month?

If I do, I'll find one at the weekend.

Well done Stan.

I've been a bit busy so I didn't have time to enter this time but next time

Post by **Grandad** » Thu Aug 27, 2009 10:41 pm

Yes please Stan

Anything that might give an opportunity to have fun or even do something serious

Upload it to the album under 'Edited or Altered Images' and add (Original) to its title.

This is not a monthly one Stan, you just post a picture for us to play about with, then once you think we have all had enough time and people have posted their efforts (say 4/5 days typical) you choose the winner based upon whatever criteria takes your fancy. The person you chose to be the winner will then be asked to post the next picture and so on until we all tire of the topic.

By the way, if you look here you will find that you also won another photo competition.
