26 February 2007

Ideas for this coming Photo Friday? Someone mentioned PhotoShopped pics, or maybe (also?) PhotoShopping our faces. Any interest? Plenty of time to prepare...
Not all of us posess or are skilled at photoshop, man.

Not all of us have stuff for every freaking topic every week, man.

I think a photoshopped thread would be fun. I might not contribute 'cause I'm not so talented... but it would be interesting to see what comes up. I know there are some VERY talented folks here with photoshop, and it would be nice to see them flaunt their stuff. (looking at iconomy and lfr...).

I do like the idea of amorphous themes which could be interpreted various ways. Like "expressions" for example. Facial expressions? Emotional expressions? etc... A photoshop thread could be interpreted as photos that might seem photoshopped, but aren't. (Every one of my photos is edited in some way or another, sharpness, levels, cropping...) I think the themes are only limited by the creativity of the participant.

OK enough random rambling. Carry on and have a Friday theme. Whether I participate (I will definitely view) is irrelevant.

Wots ta stop me from adding captions to kitty! pictures for a full day--
besides time and a sense of uncommon decency--

People need to stop being so dang literal wit the themes.
If we call it "hair piece" it could be facial hair or hat hair or cat hair or invisible hair or find the hair or is there a hair on my lens or is he digging for nose hair or shiny shiny pony hair--

Must give myself pillow face.

So, make the theme "Altered Pictures", either something you've photoshopped or something the average web cynic would say looks like it's been photoshopped.

Well, pooh. I thought of something the other day, but now I have forgotted it.

is there some other body part you'd rather shop, TheDonF? Can we photoshop ikkyu2's manly nipple? Or maybe the other one?

I couldn't photoshop if you held a gun to my head.

EXACTLY!! I've been saying this all along.

So, make the theme "Altered Pictures"...

Perfect.

If enough people are against it, though, let's not do it.

But then again, you can "PhotoShop" things in MS Paint (save images you'll use as BMPs, make sure you go to "Image" and UNcheck "Draw Opaque," erase the areas you want gone, cut-n-paste), etc...

I used to do this on MeFi all the time from my work computer, since MS Paint was all I had.

It's a really good learning experience.

I was just reminiscing about jon's recumbent bike the other day. We should do each other's hair piece's more often.
