Well had an idea, not sure if it would work or not. But I thought it would be fun to do one edit to a single photograph, then pass it on to the next person to do a single edit. Then watch over time how the picture transforms, after 5 pages or so, then collate all the single edits, and then post it as a video. What do you think?

The way I thought we should do this, is to create a single psd of a mid rez file, say 4mp size? each edit would be done on a new layer, then re posted on your hosting.

*edit* Lets make it three.

That sounds really cool!  I am a little confused over what would or would not be a single edit though.  A good alteration might take several steps.  Could you elaborate on what a single edit would allow?

I definitely want to play though!

Well heres the image.

I will clarify an edit, to change the look of the piece but only once. E.g A crop, A brightness contrast edit, a mask. If I allow three that will speed things up and give a lil more freedom. Please note the edits you have done, and please repost as a PSD when done to. Also please when you have done your three edits, place the layers in a folder if you have the ability to.

I think to make it more "in sequence" of people doing three things, then passing it onto the next is to whoever replies in this thread with    "me"  to try and keep everyone on the same psd..

You put the name in a list on the first OP
so everyone don't just get the photo the same time and do their thing on different file..

Thats a very good point, well thought of. Perhaps we should get a list first of people interested? And then I will create a list in alphabetical order.

Sort of, but rather than back and forth, just going to an end product.
