What about a Battle Royale?
I always thought that the Battle Royales on Istock looked like fun. Why not try that here? We can do two categories. Retouching and compositing. We can set up whatever format we want. I think the best would be to have someone on MM donate an image and let you guys go crazy on it. Of course we need to set a time limit and once the images are in then people can vote by posting up their choice. Rule #1 - No Bitching. The images are what you get and you must make due with them,. May 29 09 10:40 pm Link I am well up for that  May 30 09 02:04 am Link Andrew Chorley wrote: What would you like to try first? Retouching or compositing? May 30 09 09:43 am Link That's a great idea. Let's start with retouching perhaps. Also, I like how they have volley threads with composites and manipulations. May 30 09 10:17 am Link I think it would be a fun idea. I think retouching would be better to start off with and then just work up to the more complex and time consuming of composites and manipulations. May 30 09 10:24 am Link Who is up next? I want to see a couple of you big guys go at it. May 31 09 01:11 pm Link I am down May 31 09 01:50 pm Link Gibson Photo Art wrote: That's basically the wwyd? thread. If you want, I can make it a mini contest, we can add a lil poll to it after the week closes and let ppl comment/vote there.... May 31 09 02:12 pm Link could be fun May 31 09 02:17 pm Link Stephen Bradford wrote: Well go pick someone and do it! Since Andrew and I just battled then we should be excluded from your pick.

May 31 09 02:30 pm Link Gibson Photo Art wrote: That was a personal challenge thread, I don't see why that should exclude you from the wwyd's... besides, I already made up a code.. but it's in html, so I may have to go external link....

May 31 09 03:17 pm Link I used to rule the battle fields a few years ago...dont have much time now. But its always fun to watch May 31 09 03:25 pm Link MinisterC wrote: Probably. I purposefully picked an image that I knew was going to be difficult for me to edit and since I picked it I gave Andrew more time to edit. Kinda like you cut, I pick when I was a kid.

PM me a photo or a link or something! May 31 09 03:41 pm Link I've done that on another fan forum- except it was related to the celebrity, and most people were just average ps users going for comedy rather than proness. It's a lot of fun!! May 31 09 04:36 pm Link KKP Retouching wrote: That's a good idea. Themed challenges. The point is to learn something new and have fun with it. May 31 09 04:39 pm Link I think there should be different categories, and maybe set it up similar to Worth1000. Maybe have some beauty, full length commercial, editorial, etc. And... At least one or two should be for humor! May 31 09 04:46 pm Link Oooo I wanna play! Sounds like a splendid idea!! May 31 09 07:15 pm Link ZoliPirate-Design wrote: Do it then. Contact someone you are interested in battling and see if they are interested. The rest is up to you.

May 31 09 07:31 pm Link I will challenge him gibson May 31 09 11:39 pm Link [photoshop throwdown] this is a pretty cool thread! I'm down to donate an image..

So, just to get the rules down... you pick an image, then challenge someone else to retouch it. So YOU AND THE CHALLENGED PERSON both retouch the image? I think we should just have it that everyone can do the retouch. Like, every week, there will be one image to retouch/edit, and by the end of the week, everyone posts their version and we can all compare our work. Jun 01 09 09:55 am Link I challenge ZoliPirate... game? Jun 01 09 10:00 am Link Jhaesayte wrote: Thats a good idea, would be easier to manage as well. Would be nice if on the front page there was a way to show the monthly winners and contest winners. Jun 01 09 10:10 am Link Andrew Chorley wrote: kind of like Pic of the Day sort of thing...except for retouching/compositing...good idea. Jun 01 09 10:12 am Link The makeup and styling forum does a contest like this every month. Doesn't get on the front page or anything, but people DO do it. I have some high res images I can submit to start us all off. Beauty shots sorta thing. Basically, the winner gets to choose the next theme/image, but can't enter his competition. We could do one every couple weeks. At the end of the last week everyone votes on their favorite to determine the winner.
