Ok, who would like to participate in a real Photoshop battle with me? I mean this kind:
to he (or she) who answers me first, I challenge you to a duel!
Battling involves two photoshoppers duelling eachother, by means of editing a certain image over and over. A battle is divided into rounds (with each a diffirent theme, if indicated). Now... A battle usually doesn't give a winner, it's more about creating a nice final image with the effort of two photoshoppers.
We haven't had too many battles here on GTP, so here's an example of one.
Battling tactics. Some tips and tricks, the do's and the don'ts of battling!
Don't use your best photoshop tricks in round 1, build up your performance gradually. It's all about the end result! Also, when an image is heavily edited in the first round it's harder to modify in a later stadium so be careful, don't go mental on the initial sample. | Don't annoy your opponent by filling up the entire image with fresh graphics at once, or letting the round you're in make a graphical appearance in the image. Your opponent is going to have to edit that out, which can be a nasty little job! | Don't erase out great portions of the - created by the opponent's - work, try to work with it. Add graphics/particals into it, rather than replacing it with new stuff. | Keep to the theme! Don't abruptly change the style of the image. It gets confusing. | Play with words! Trying to get a little dialogue going between the rounds, in the image, is always fun. | Don't be a filter junkie. Try to achieve original effects, by brushing, layering, shaping, etc. Be creative! | Choose your opponent wisely, you want to battle some one who matches your skills. | More soon!
