I've been thinking about another photochop contest. However, after my last one, many people complained that there is a certain group that is well above the norm and "always wins" (I don't think that part is necessarily true).
So it seems to me that people need a place where they can post their chops, ask questions, and get advice on how to make them better. I think that this is a thread that, if successful, will become quite the learning tool here at CA. I have no photochop skills, so I probably won't participate for a while, but I am interested in how people do such a good job at matching skin tone. So post some chops, share some tips and tricks and let's get ready for when the next contest shows up.

can we make sure to keep the Creepy Stalker factor to a minimum? How about making sure the subject has given permission to the chopper?

Even though it is all in good fun...I agree with Pete...permission would be a good idea.

What is the "Creepy Stalker" factor?

How would these permissions be managed? I understand where you are coming from but I see another nightmare for the TOE. In the past, I think we've done a decent job (and the participants, too) in keeping things from going too far.

The "Creepy Stalker" factor is when someone chops and posts someone's picture they don't know. Some guys are sensitive to it, Peter. It's understandable, especially if things get "weird". Never phased me, but I don't take anything very seriously and I have a very broad sick sense of humor. It can definately get over the top sometimes, though.

So, I guess each chop would have to be approved by the choppee before being posted? How does one handle a chop with 5 or 6 people in it? Approval from all?
I'm not trying to be difficult here but I see this as a nightmare.

Maybe just keeping it simple and asking the person (choppie) before they are photo chopped?

Before? What happens if they don't like the results? We're right where we are without permissions in the first place.

Also, if members don't allow themselves to be chopped, do we allow them to participate in the contest? (Yeah. This is cool. As long as it isn't me.)
Sorry for the threadjack, Mark. This thread was supposed to be about sharing skills and techniques and it turned into something else.

Mark, One tip I got from my creative dept was if I want to phase someone out then copy the background nearby, rotate, and paste over..I did this with another woman's shadow that was ruining my sunset photo.

Howabouts you just chop away and if the chopie has an issue with it, they just PM the chopper or hit the report post button ?
Jezus, it's not like you need a modeling release and contract, it's a frickin' photochop for fun on a cigar forum. Do you seriously think anyone here is that malicious? It's a photochop, not a faked celebrity nudie picture... |
