Well, I doubt many of you are familiar with http://www.Worth1000.com , but it is a photoshop contest website which holds competitions and the top picks earn credits for the site that can be used to enter other competitions. Additionally, there are corporate competitions in which small companies offer money for logos. The most I've seen was $500. That's not bad considering when I was 15 (I've been there for a while now), I nearly won, earning 5th place out of about 70 other people.

 

 

 

Anyway, this was a competition in which they supply you with a picture and you have free reign with how you want to manipulate it. Here is what I came up with. I got 20th out of 65 people...that's alright I suppose. The left picture was the stock picture they supplied, and the right picture is my manip.

 

 

 

nice :lol:

cool. I like it, dosn't look to difficult that's prolly why you only got 20th.

Gratz, I remember seeing their logo in Drawball, looks like they got a pretty good competition system.

Rebuilding background and the inside of her dress was pretty tough.

 

 

 

Misterxman, the competition system is GREAT. There are always ones open, and they have thousands of members, if not hundreds of thousands. There are some extremely talented people there, however.

I remember this, theres a easy tutorial about it somewhere, cant remember where...

 

 

 

well it looks cool, good job

Nice, any tuts?

Eheh, I wish I could make one. I just don't have the patience to. There are SO many steps involved, and this manipulation ended up having 15+ layers. Basiclaly, lasso what you want invisible, delete it, and then rebuild what "would" or "is" behind the object so it appears that whatever you took out was either not even there, or it is invisible.

although it's good I don't think it will get far. It's well edited although the idea is not really there - I mean all it is is an invisible doll. I've always noticed that the winners of worth1000 normally have well made, well thoughtout ideas

Pretty good but there are some problems:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The dress should blend better.. and the couch bumps when when it really shouldnt

and the couch bumps when when it really shouldnt

That's the shirt :P

and the couch bumps when when it really shouldnt

That's the shirt :P

 

 

 

Oh... maybe it is.. in that case the inside of the shirt shoundnt be the exact same color of the couch:P And does the dress have an aperin thing? Cause that would explain the non-blendyness

Heh, yeah. I posted this on RV as well, and everyone mentioned that the couch bumped unnaturally.

 

 

 

Jdprs is right, it is the inside of the dress. Now that I look back on making it, I cannot really understand why I chose that color for the inside anyway. She would be wearing a pettycoat type thing...which would make it white.

 

 

 

Anyway, this was my first, so these comments will help me in future contests, whether they be invisibles or just general photo manips. Until then, I'm just a nooby :P

hey thats pretty cool.. I do a lot of things similar to this in PS.. though i often fix photos. for example, I once went to a medieval tournement.. I took lots of photos of the jousting, cept there were bars (from the fencing) in the pic, so you couldnt see the horse and person well so i took it into PS and completly took the bars out. it took a verry long time.. if you wanted to see it, let me know and ill post it..

 

 

 

but what i really want to ask, is if anyone can just go to that site and enter the competitions?

I'd love to see your stuff! Please, feel free to add me on MSN if you have it. Either that or just post them on the boards (or in my thread...but your own thread would give YOU all the glory ;) ).

 

 

 

As far as entering goes, you have to register, just as you would at any forum or website. It is completely free with no strings attached. Just enter a username, password, email...and that is basically it. They may ask for contact information so that if you win a corporate competition they know where to send the money to, but I'm really not sure.

 

 

 

You should register, though. From what it sounds like, you're very talented in PS. :P
