2009-07-17 [Linderel]: How was this manipped? I don't see anything really significant.

2009-07-17 [Cillamoon]: I used Microsoft Office Picture Manager, as that is the only manip program I have on my computer. I moved around the brightness, contrast, midtones, colors, cropped it too. Made it dark enough to make the glitter pop out as sparkles, but not dark enough as to loose the details and definitions of the picture itself. Does it not qualify? Should I find something else to use?

2009-07-17 [Linderel]: Have you seen photomanips by [Chimes], [nehirwen] or [Jitter]? That's the sort of thing I'm looking for in this category.
Also: get GIMP. http://www.gimp.org

2009-07-17 [Cillamoon]: Ah, masters of the craft they are in my eyes. Well I'm glad to know your level of expectations. :) Thank you for clarifying that for me!

2009-07-17 [Linderel]: You could also refer to the previous one's entries :P PaPC Photomanip entries

2009-07-17 [Cillamoon]: Thank you I shall! :)

2009-07-17 [Chimes]: Cilla, to photomanipulate is to make a new picture out of a number of elements. Changing colours and contrast doesn't count as such... If you want to do a simple manip you have to do more, for example adding textures and repainting portions, painting on make-up for example. Though that may be more in the realm of retouching a photo, which is what yours falls under. :) A retouch rather than a manip. It's its own kind of craft in it's own right.
To make that more manip like... you could try incorporating one of your other photos into it?

2009-07-17 [Cillamoon]: Awesome, thank you so much Chimes love for helping to clear that up for me. It definetly answered the large question mark that was forming over my head as I went "huh?" lol. Thank you both!!! Lin, would the image I had posted in error work for regular photos here?

2009-07-17 [Linderel]: I think it might, yes.

2009-07-17 [Chimes]: Cilla, as a retouch, it was top-class. :) I suck at retouching :)

2009-07-19 [Cillamoon]: Aww thank you Chimes, that is so sweet of you to say! *hugs*

2009-07-19 [Chimes]: *hugs back* I love the dark effect you have going on it... :) It looks both solarised and not at the same time, which is pretty damn funky. ^^

2009-09-04 [Chimes]: I believe I may have just been beaten :P

2009-09-04 [nehirwen]: I read 'just been eaten'. xD

2009-09-04 [Chimes]: That too. :P

2009-09-04 [nehirwen]: Who ate you? O.o
But thanks, though your manip is awesome too!

2009-09-04 [Chimes]: A lion!
^^

2009-09-04 [nehirwen]: Where did he come from?
=)

2009-09-04 [Chimes]: The jungle... >.> <.< XD
