For any of you that dont know much about PS tennis. Heres a brief break down. Its a 1 on 1 challenge. And you take an image, edit it. Then volley it to your challenger. Then he does what he can to the image to make it better. And so on and so on. Now about the rules.

You set your own rules to the challenger. For example; You can only add 1 layer per volley. Or perhaps you dont use any plugins at ALL(this is about skill), but only filters. You can basically make any rules you want. But remember be somewhat fair on your choice of rules and image.

Now I am offering a challenge to anyone in this FORUM. If there is any one out there wanting to show off there design skills. And wants to bite the challenge.......BRING IT !!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I will post the rules of my Photoshop match when someone steps up to my offer. I was looking for a PS Moderator ? anyone. Oh and BTW I hear there is a prize to first place winner . Good luck......

ClubLexus is endorsing this challenge.

This contest will last until August 1st, 2002 or whenever all parties have stopped 'shopping.

The winner will recieve a $20 Gift Certificate to Carson Toyota.

So for all you Photoshoppers, let's see you in action.

As for judges, most likely, I am it.

DO NOT FLAME IN THIS THREAD.

so there would be 1 judge, Ethan? Or all moderators? (excluding those who are participating, of course.)

Static911

Most likely, all the moderators (excluding those who participate) will be judges. We will have a poll. And only the moderators can vote.

These are my set rules for the challenger. I think these
are a fair set of rules. And anything goes.......

1. Layer unlimited
2. No plugins(only the use of stock PS filters)
3. 1 day turn around time
4. 7 volleys
5. Document size of 800 x 600
6. No styles or actions
7. Start off with photographic image but
cant add no other photographic image

Thats a fair set of rules I think. Oh and document
resolution is up to you. We usually play with
300 ppi, but not everyone have photographic
images at 300 ppi. So 72 ppi or 300 ppi.

So keep me posted.........

soo........ we can't use photos to edit the original image....... hmmm.... so all we do is play with filters and that's it? Sounds pretty boring. How do you add bodykits and rims to a car without using photographic images?


I think we should just keep it simple. Moderator post a picture of a car, we chop it anyway we like, let people vote on which one looks the best. We should have everyone who's interested participate.

The problem with volleying is, you're chopping relative to what the other person is doing. This is basing too much on what other person did, not what you are capable of. If we just use the same pic and chop it anyway we want, we won't see what others are doing, and can do what we are really capable of.

I'll talk with the admin about an official challenge like that

Globe's ideas seems like it will be better for everyone. Truthfuly I can't see how the whole volley deal works. The final pic will only be the last person's chopping. Or am i wrong. Other wise a board challenge like Globes would hold lotsa fun. Just my 2 cents..

GrafFX

Well this a Photoshop tennis match. Not editing a car with kits and rims. This challenge is about skill. And it takes alot more skill to do what challenge I have offered. I am not interested in your offer. There is alot more to PS than chopping cars. And basically what I am saying about not using plugins, actions or styles. If you are a veteran at PS you dont need them.

And again this about my challenge to someone. I know its seems boring but there is alot more to PS than just using a few tools to edit a car. So this isnt a boring contest is a challenging one. Thats where my rules stand. I am not starting a flame war, but I am only interested in people that know how to use the program other than simple car chops.

depending on the rules i may enter, if I can not use another pic then im out. =]

so you mean you can only rely on the program to make your work look good, and you can't even do simple car chops?


IC. Do you have any examples of this VOLLEYING challenge that you have been doing? I would really like to see what type of stuff you can come up with.

GSTRANCE

"simple car chops"???? you OBVIOUSLY havent looked at the peoples work on here that much, ALOT of hard work goes into these "simple car chops" it takes skill and creativity as well as a good knowledge of photoshop to produce these "simple car chops" I am not trying to fuel the flames here, but try to show some respect for what we are doing here.

Static911

Let's get started.

Get one of the cars from the gallery.

I let the aministrator pick the pix to be fair. I resaved it for this server. So if you want a little better jpeg message me and I will send it to you. Or get it off one of the boards.

And obviously the document size has been changed but this is what we will work with.

Alright, I'm in...I'll post a "volley" tomorrow.
