The usual software for this is Photoshop which is very good but very expensive

95% of teh same functionality is available from The GIMP which is totally free!!!!

Re: Special Photo Competition !!
 

Re: Special Photo Competition !!
 

Well I’ve added my bit. It’s one that I did ages ago and I think it was Serif Photo plus that I used to edit the photo.

Here is another one that I did while I was playing about. I’ll not enter it into the comp as we are only allowed to have one entry. I’ll post it here as it might give you some ideas.

Will members PLEASE read the competition rules BEFORE uploading a photo
i am fed up of having to pm members that don't read before posting
in future if your photo is not to the rules it will just be deleted without any pm being sent.
just remember the special competition has different rules to the ordinary competitions ta

Re: Special Photo Competition !!

and will members please start voting on these photos ta

Re: Special Photo Competition !!
 

Oooooooh The Suspense :)

Re: Special Photo Competition !!
 

Why can't we add more than 1 set? its not like we are inundated with entries?

I've actually put 3 sets up (Sorry MIck, I assumes it was same rules as before i.e. 4 entries each.

With editing there are many sort of disciplines, those that just hack at colours, those that go fully artistic. some pictures I muck about with just for fun. surely teh more entries teh more that people will see the sort of things that you can do with editing software?

Re: Special Photo Competition !!
 

please read post 18

Re: Special Photo Competition !!
 

yes, read it. doesn't answer why we cant have more then one entry particularly as there are so few entries. why not relax that bit of the rules so as I said people can show many examples of teh sort of things you can do with editing software.

seems a shame to me that you ask people to show off their skills but then restrict them to only one example.

Re: Special Photo Competition !!
 

sorry we are sticking to the rules i am not changing them near the end of the competition
Mabe for the next one comming up.
