Topic: Photoshop Tennis

So yeah I just thought this would be a fun topic...
Wikipedia explained the rules well.

Wikipedia wrote:

Each match of Photoshop tennis is generally played with two competing players. The players pick a starting image, or one is "served" by a player, then another player makes some sort of alteration to the image in any chosen image editor (matches are not exclusive to Adobe Photoshop). He or she then sends that altered image to the other player or players, usually via e-mail or by posting the image to a Photoshop tennis forum, who then edits that image and sends it back to the first player. This process goes back and forth until a predetermined number of rounds have elapsed, or the players otherwise wish to end the game. When the final round is over, there may be an independent judge who determines who has played the best shots, and declares that person the winner, or players may play without a clear winner. Sometimes extra rules can be enforced, such as sticking to one particular software package, or keeping to a particular theme.

So basically, I will post here a staring image and whoever is next takes my image and does something to it in photoshop. Then someone else takes that image and changes it. The image is done after 12 hours. It's basically like Ratboy's Write A Story thread except with images and hopefully won't be closed.
Here are some rules:

  • You can use Photoshop, Gimp, or the like.

  • It has to sort of look like the picture once you're done with your edits. No like putting a big black square in the middle that covers up other people's work

  • No, like, inappropriate stuff. Use your best judgement.

  • And then there's the dibs system. If someone calls dibs on a next image, they get to edit it next. This is to avoid people editing the wrong image, like a previous version. Make sense? mini/confused

  • If you call dibs you must start on your edit right after you call dibs.

  • If someone *Cough cough KG cough cough* starts trolling the thread and covering up other people's edits, then just ignore their edit and use the image immediately before they screwed it up.

Great idea. I can see this being a lot of fun.

Rubbish image to kick it off with, too.

Re: Photoshop Tennis

What usually works for this game is an image that can be worked with, such as this
http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5069/5847954232_8895b8b1b4_b.jpg

Lot's to work with there.

Now typically, these games die out or get locked due to novice photoshop work or inappropriate content being added.  Also, if there's no calling dibs or honoring-the-dib, we get multiple edits from the same previous person and everything goes into chaos.

So basically: start with a better image and have a dibs system.

I assume anyone can enter, but if not, I'll scrub this.

You edited the wrong image.

Re: Photoshop Tennis

Good idea, I will change the post to add the dibs system. And I will change the beginning image too. Good call.

Re: Photoshop Tennis

Here we go. And because I'm nice, I combined CK and RB's edits.

Re: Photoshop Tennis

An FYI, topitmunkeydog, and to anyone else: Generally on each turn you're only meant to add or edit one (or a couple of related) elements. So whereas I added two tentacles for example, they are both related to the same idea. Same goes with the paintball edit - there were several added elements, but it was all related.

I'm not sure how the screaming dude is related to putting flames(?) inside all the windows.

Not trying to be harsh, just letting you know.

Well played, Riley. Well played.

Damn, you worked it out pretty fast. mini/tongue

Re: Photoshop Tennis

Admittedly I had to take yours and the previous one into PS and toggle the layers. I applaud you.

Order up!
