State of the Reddit | NEW RULE | Next Battle Coming Soon

OP posts a pic then submitters in the thread take OP's photo and modify it and resubmit. This goes back and forth until something amazing happens.

Weekly battles where one picture is uploaded/selected and people modify the picture and submit it. Entry with the highest upvotes ratio gets to pick the photo for next weeks battle.

This is definitely a great way to increase your skills and have a great time.

  1. Pic requests Please leave the self pic style "Please photoshop me" stuff to /r/picrequests. Mods will remove these posts. If you see a pic request please report it.

  2. Image content When submitting an image please make sure it:

    • Isn't too small. A [500x500] image barely gives room to work with.
    • Isn't low in quality. Example of a "low quality" image.
    • Isn't uploaded to Facebook. You may try re-hosting the image to another site.
    • Is labeled NSFW if necessary (use this tag generously).
  3. Titles
    Your title must be descriptive. No more "this has potential" or "lets see what you guys can do". Some people browse reddit in compact mode(no thumbnails) so they need the titles to be descriptive not boring.

    • If the title sounds like a pic request it will be subject to removal.
    • If the title sounds cliched or unoriginal it will be subject to removal.
    • If the title is made as a question it will be subject to removal.
  4. Voting
    Please vote by quality. 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. Downvoting constructively is also recommended. We like to play nice here so please keep that in mind. If you believe something is inappropriate please report it.

Racist. :)

If we didn't give them a handicap it would't be a fair game. :)
