A part of me is a bit against this photo manipulation thing, but I have to confess that some of the results are fantastic and they would never be possible with only a camera.

Anyway, I got Photoshop yesterday and here's my very first photo manipulation: :D

A photo manipulation contest sounds great, btw (although probably I won't enter any).
 
Well, nothing at all if you separate things properly.

I think that digital manipulation can take away a bit of merit from a good photographer, in the way that, just by pressing a mouse button, you can add an effect to a picture that only a good photographer would be able to come up with using a simple camera. (I could go on, but this example should be enough)

But then again, there are many things that you can do to a photo that are only accessible through digital manipulation - and very good they look, too. And it's great to have the option to do all that and much more. I like it and I'll use it, too.


I hope I made my point.
 
Here's another 'newbie' one, this time à la ITR:

Neat. I like it. The color of the screen makes it look better. I think you could find pictures for the contest at google images or another search engines image search feature.
 
Nice one. :D

:lol:

I took a few photos of my friend yesterday and I really like how one of them turned out. I'll post it later today.
 
i got this program called photo suite III and i was wondering if anyone uses this program. I need some tips and some help. Thanks!
 
What you did to your vehicle is called Photoshopping a car and you can post it here - https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1299620#post1299620 - if you wish to get comments on it. I don't know anything about your photosuite program, but if you want help you should make a thread with it or something, I would think. This is photo manipulation, you take a photo of something, other than a vehicle, and modify it to get an effect. sp? (is it supposed to be affect?)

Yes, d (for Diesel, as iceburns288 pointed out). In Europe, at least...

BMW have been using them for years, in the 3, 5, 7 - and now 1 - series.

Older turbodiesel models used to be referred as td.
 
In America you don't see many diesel BMW's, at least not here in Wisconsin.
 
Yeah thanks everyone. I've never seen one...in fact, I don't think BMW sells diesels in the US market.
 
I have never seen one either. I rarely see diesel Mercedes. Other than that, I only see TDI Volkswagens and Semi's.
 
Just a quickie, I took the picture about 10 minutes ago and just added the border, text, some choice desaturation and adjusted the levels a little bit. This ones up for interpretation.

That's cool, although I don't get what it's supposed to mean.
 
I didn't take the picture on this one, I definetly enjoying doing this tonight.

I'm tripped out by the black of the eye. It looks like it's a little cap. Looks cool. Color choice is nice as well.
 
I just discovered the Liquify tool today...
I can't stop laughing! This thing is so much fun.
