Battle #39 - Vote Now! | New Rule, Oct 15

Battle 39

About Photoshop Battles

A subreddit for people to use photo manipulation software to create new images.

Official weekly battles are held where entries are removed for the first 24-hours to give an opportunity for more detailed submissions.

Battle winners pick the photo for the next battle (only upvotes are counted) and all entrants are given subreddit flair.


Rules for Submissions:

I. No Requests or Questions

  • Requests, such as "Please photoshop me or my friend", can be posted to /r/picrequests.

  • Questions, such as "Where else could he be?", or "What else could she be sticking in her mouth?" are not permitted.

II. Titles

  • Your title must be descriptive. Please accurately describe the subject of the photo.

  • No cliches such as "this has potential", "lets see what you guys can do", or "make this epic".

III. Image content

  • Images should be at least 500x500 pixels.
  • No technically low-quality images. Focus, framing, lighting, etc. are important.
  • No links to facebook.
  • NSFW tags must be used generously.
  • No albums or web pages, submissions must be a single image.

Submissions that do not follow the rules will be subject to removal by the moderators.

If you notice a submission that violates the rules, please report it to the mods, and send us a message letting us know why it was reported.


Commenting

Junk comments distract from this subreddit a lot more than in other subreddits that are not based on original content.

Comments that are cliché, text-only, not an original work, image macros, memes, reaction gifs, or off-topic are subject to removal by the moderators without notification.

reddiquette

Comments should be fully compliant with RFC 2119


Voting

  • Please vote based on quality of work. Lazy shops shouldn't win just because they made you laugh. You can still vote funny stuff (we can't control you) but keep in mind that people spend lots of time making some really good submissions and deserve as much recognition as the next guy.

  • Please do not downvote submissions because they do not have obvious potential. An image that does not have an easy punchline may be the most creatively inspiring to others.

Please report inappropriate content to the mods.

After I posted this I realized I meant to do the game Dream Phone. Getting my 80s tween games confused. Oh well.

[–]gopherxing 3 points4 points ago

Thank You. You've done society a great service sir

[–]Liberationdemonology 3 points4 points ago

I love this! When I put this up in r/pics yesterday, I didn't have to time to throw it over here as well, so I'm glad someone did. I'm just glad people are having fun with it.

[–]k_hall_313 2 points3 points ago

[–]ollobollo 0 points1 point ago

What did you read about the joker poster? Was your 'shop of a spoiling Gus?

[–]cheeeo[S] 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, it was Gus at the end when he you know. boom. But it had President Obama's head. It was good.

Interesting URL.

[–]ambachan 3 points4 points ago

Yeah, I got a good laugh out of that.

[–]michaelmorr 7 points8 points ago

[–]RLismyname 2 points3 points ago

I was trying to move it a bit so it'll look like he's looking at the guy, not the camera..I couldn't quite figure out how to fix it so I just left it :/

[–]michaelmorr 2 points3 points ago

[–]Maximumkills 3 points4 points ago

[–]cooljeanius 4 points5 points ago

Subtle. His cheek gives it away though.

[–]Arylex 2 points3 points ago

[–]cooljeanius 2 points3 points ago

The one on the viewer's left (his right)

[–]FakersGonnaFake 26 points27 points ago

Liam Neeson is going to be pissed!

Probably my worst shop ever.

Original picture.

Can someone please give me some hints how I could have adjusted Obama so he would fit in? Many thanks in advance!

[–]Be_Gentle_Im_New 13 points14 points ago

this is my take on this

What I did is add some noise in the shape of obama and then played with brushes for the lighting effects. Also I might have overdone with the blur a bit.

[–]redwormcharlie 4 points5 points ago

This is worse, shadow is way off. It's all about the shadow for this one.

[–]FakersGonnaFake 6 points7 points ago

The shadow is off but Obama blends in way better.

[–]sk8rphink 3 points4 points ago

It's all about the lighting in this particular picture. Look how dramatic the shadow on the face is in the original picture. Looks like you added a little shadow, but not enough. You also need to bring your gamma curve down some. Obama's black level is too high. Also, if you compare Obama's non-phone hand to the leg that is right next to it, you will see that the leg and the entire scene have a bit of a red/purple tint. Obama's arm and the rest of him, have a bit of a yellow tint. Bringing them closer together will be a subtle change, but will help a lot.

[–]stone_solid 3 points4 points ago

Obama's black level is too high.

racist ;-)

[–]FakersGonnaFake 2 points3 points ago

thank you very much for your help. I couldn't make it work though, okay
