Official photomanipulators banner made by [Tepi]


I'm hoping to build this wiki to serve the cause of photomanipulation. With your help this could become the meeting place for artists and photographers. Maybe a place to share some tips and secrets of the trade. No matter what is your style, field or tools. Digital artists are also welcome here. Like everybody else who feel they fit this category in some way.

2005-03-06 [Tepi]: I'm also creating something, but... I'm not sure if it will make in time specially because I'm still not good at using photoshop...

2005-03-18 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: Hey! don't forget the dream contest. There are only two entries.

2005-03-21 [Lankin]: I was wondering, is there a place one can do image requests? For those of us who aren't artists ourselves, but who would like some help from one.

2005-03-21 [Tapestry of Destiny]: one of the forums...Breakin' the Block!...wikis I probably don't know about yet...blah blah blah...^_^

2005-03-21 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: Should the dream contest be open longer? We have only three entries =(

2005-03-21 [Tepi]: Hmm... maybe it's better to wait for a while. If no one adds more entries till the dateline, it would be better to keep it open for a while longer.

2005-03-21 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: maybe you could put something up?

2005-03-21 [Tepi]: ehm... I see what I can do. I just have no ideas right now... but I can try.

2005-04-02 [Tupile]: cool wiki guys, think i could join? i think i know a thing or two about photo manipulation

2005-04-02 [Tepi]: Of course you can join. Just add your name to the member list =)

2005-04-03 [spiritee]: i joined ^_^

2005-04-04 [Tepi]: welcome! it's great to have new members here ^_^

2005-04-04 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: is anyone going to participate the dream contest or should I close it? it has quite few entries this far.

2005-04-04 [battlefield]: i have no chance even if i had the time to make something

2005-04-04 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: you can't be sure of that. it's not always about skill. wouldn't you like to try?

2005-04-07 [Barak_the_Blade]: I just found this page...I wouldn't mind entering...how long would you be willing to extend it. I'm a newbie but it would be fun to have a reason to learn some things...lol.

2005-04-07 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: You mean the dream contest? I've closed it already but soon there will be another competition.

2005-04-07 [Barak_the_Blade]: Oh...gotcha...kewl, I'll be watching this board now...I'll try to jump in on the next one.

2005-04-08 [Cookieholic]: i'm not good enough >.>

2005-04-08 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: good enough for what?

2005-04-08 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: Please join if you want. And this place is also for learning. It doesn't matter =)

2005-04-08 [Cookieholic]: lol, well i have some pics, but i'd get killed if i put them here =P

2005-04-09 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: If I happen to quit Elftown is there someone who could continue as a wiki host for this place? Just asking not going to quit right now.

2005-04-09 [zei-tan]: Mihinkäs sää oot lährös?

2005-04-09 [Cookieholic]: there are also non-finnish people here >.>

2005-04-10 [Barak_the_Blade]: I would be willing to help Cloud...I just found this page, but I can tell you that I'd be willing to help. And if I say I'll do it...it will be done. Not one of those peeps that slack

2005-04-10 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: Would you be willing to join this wiki? Though this is new wiki it seems there are already some inactive members.

2005-04-10 [Lioness123]: hey, I'm here...I just comment when there's a topic I want to participate in

2005-04-10 [Keii]: I'm here *waves*

2005-04-10 [Tepi]: Me too! :P

2005-04-10 [Keii]: Yay!

2005-04-11 [Tupile]: yeah sorry, been kinda busy lately

2005-04-11 [mikei1313]: hello!

2005-04-11 [Elthia]: I'm trying to figure out how to use CS... Do somebody have some tips?

2005-04-11 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: Go to the link sub-wiki. There is a link into great tutorial web page.

2005-04-11 [Barak_the_Blade]: Okay...I joined and I put a banner up on my page. I'll add some of my stuff to the gallery ASAP, if that's okay cloud.

2005-04-11 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: Of course it's ok. This if free wiki for everyone.

2005-04-12 [mikei1313]: o my lord

2005-04-12 [Tepi]: what?

2005-04-13 [mikei1313]: dunno!

2005-04-25 [Elthia]: Will it be a new contest soon?

2005-04-25 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: as soon as we can figure out the idea

2005-04-25 [Keii]: How long is the voting for the dream contest going to be up?

2005-04-25 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: tell me how many votes will be enough and I'll end it

2005-04-28 [Tepi]: hmm... would 40 be enough?

2005-05-06 [Tepi]: Any ideas for the next contest?

2005-05-10 [Tepi]: Anyone awake? O_o

2005-05-10 [Dark Wizard]: Me

2005-05-10 [Ocean Soul]: me too

2005-05-15 [Tepi]: Then do you have any ideas for the next contest? =)

2005-05-15 [Ocean Soul]: Mhm not really.. let me think.. oh yes, maybe we can have a mood contest.. pick one mood (happy or sad or something, I don´t know) and then contestants can create pics that show this chosen mood... Uh I don´t know.. maybe..

2005-05-15 [machineman]: How about a "Ravages of Time Contest" It could be a person, place or thing. Show the original photo and then what the subject might look like after a long time span. Like looking in to the future,

2005-05-15 [machineman]: Alot of things can happen over time... War, Weather, Natural Disasters and Disease. Not to say good things don't happen also but the bad things seem more dramatic.

2005-05-15 [machineman]: Or an "Evolution" contest. Manipulate a photo of an animal and show what effect a couple hundred thousand years of evolution might have on the species. (hope that's spelled right)

2005-05-16 [Ocean Soul]: That last one is interesting, [machineman] .. evolution contest, yay

2005-05-16 [Elthia]: Yes, I agree... I also like the mood contest...

2005-05-16 [Keii]: Can we make it an easy one? Some of us have exams and little time to manip :p >.<

2005-05-16 [Ocean Soul]: Im almost done with my final exams :D hehe..

2005-05-16 [Keii]: Lucky for some *glares* Hehe... :p

2005-05-16 [Dark Wizard]: I agree with [machineman] That is a totaly awesome idea! LOL!

2005-05-17 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: Should it be a creature contest... you could create an animal of your own or use that evolution idea. What do you say?

2005-05-17 [Elthia]: I think it's a good idea...=)

2005-05-17 [Tepi]: Me too =) I like that evolution idea =)

2005-05-17 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: NEW CONTEST NOW OPENED! Please participate at Contest area

2005-06-01 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: mmm... this wiki seems dead, so maybe I should bury it and throw in funeral

2005-06-01 [Cloudwatcher]: <stumbles in> aho! whats tis this?!? a dead wiki you say?? well have no fear!! ...oh wait..its only me..returning..sorta..:o

2005-06-13 [Keii]: *looks around* It's still dead...

2005-06-13 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: no one seems to be interested in this wiki anymore.. no one has subimitted anything to the new contest =(

2005-06-13 [pixish]: I dont fully understand the explanation at the contest :-( And did you advertise in the advertising forum?

2005-06-14 [Keii]: I'm in the middle of exams at the moment, so it's one that I might have to miss out on >.<

2005-06-14 [Keii]: Pixie, you basically have to either create your own creature, or take one that already exists and change that into a different form (as if it has evolved a few hundred or thousand years). At least I think thats whats involved. I think the original comments about what it's about are in the comments box somewhere.

2005-06-14 [pixish]: O__O I would love to try it, but I am not very good at photomanipulating :-P I like just doing peoples faces ^__^ I have some cat pictures though - so i will have a go ;-P And advertise in my house :-)

2005-06-14 [Keii]: Hehe, just bug [qwertyasdfgzxcvb] for tips ^^

2005-06-17 [Tepi]: heh, at least that new banner can't be missed ;)

2005-06-17 [Keii]: And the promise of 'free registration' is always very appealing ;)

2005-06-17 [Tepi]: Yeah, that's true ;) I've been quite lazy with Photoshop lately myself... =/ Maybe I should create something for the contest. Are you going to take part in it?

2005-06-17 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: it's a murder!

2005-06-17 [Keii]: I've been so lazy too >.< I'd love to, but I'm in the middle of exams at the moment. Bleh >.<; Plus... it's hard :s

2005-06-18 [Dark Wizard]: I'm Lazy too!

2005-06-18 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: maybe I'll create one very easy but still interesting contest and leave that creature contest remain active until it reaches certain amount of pics.

2005-06-18 [Tepi]: that sounds good =)

2005-06-19 [Cookieholic]: Yeah good plan! =D *reads tessa's rules* *likes number 10* =D

2005-06-19 [Tepi]: Then join the wiki ;)

2005-06-19 [Cookieholic]: party pooper >.>

2005-06-19 [Tepi]: *grins*

2005-06-19 [Cookieholic]: I joined, happy now ;)

2005-06-19 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: not

2005-06-19 [Cookieholic]: You can't stay mad at me forever mikko o.o

2005-06-19 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: ok.. sorry. and welcome to the photomanipulators.

2005-06-19 [Cookieholic]: That's better =) and thank you =)

2005-06-19 [Cookieholic]: Now I just need to get a photo of myself to manipulate o.o

2005-06-19 [Tepi]: Hmm... Can the picture be named in a different language than in english?

2005-06-19 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: Why not

2005-06-19 [Tepi]: Good, because everything sounds better in French though the title would be very stupid otherwise ;) But thanks =)

2005-06-19 [Cookieholic]: also slavic languages? Bulgarian, Russian etc.?

2005-06-19 [Tepi]: Why not if other languages are also ok. Hmm... but maybe there should be a translation next to the title if it's not English, or what do you think, Cloud? =)

2005-06-19 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: No translations needed and all languages are allowed that can be written with normal alphabet

2005-06-19 [Tepi]: Ok, thanks again

2005-06-21 [Keii]: Yay! New contest, and finally an entry for the creature contest... ^^

2005-06-21 [Tepi]: Make that into two entries ;) Though, mine isn't so fancy :P But at least the competition can begin now ^^

2005-06-22 [Keii]: It's great Tezz! And somewhat cute (or is that just me o.O?)

2005-06-22 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: yes, Tezz is somewhat cute ;)

2005-06-22 [Keii]: *chuckles* I walked right into that...

2005-06-22 [Truth . Beauty . Love]: Does anyone know where i can get a good vector art tutorial for Paint Shop Pro 7? Thanks!

2005-06-22 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: Try Deviant Art, browse and search for tutorials. They might be in resources section. Or then check out the www.good-tutorials.com

2005-06-22 [Keii]: You could also look at Tutorials - I'm not sure if there will be anything on vector art, but there may be...

2005-06-22 [Tepi]: Thanks, Keisari! ^^ ...and Cloud ;) Is there anyone else who's gonna participate the mighty creature contest? :P Or the self-potrait contest?

2005-06-22 [Keii]: I should be... just after my exams

2005-06-22 [Tepi]: when is that? =)

2005-06-22 [Keii]: Last two are on monday ^^

2005-06-22 [Keii]: Hmm... just a thought here - does the Creature Contest include humans?

2005-06-23 [Truth . Beauty . Love]: Thanks! Now i'm looking for good places to get some nice fonts. Any ideas? :P

2005-06-23 [pixish]: Just look for any site that has free fonts for downloading ^__^ I think a good one is 1001 Free Fonts.... *goes to look for address*  http://www.1001freefonts.com/

2005-06-23 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: Keisari, maybe it could include humans but of course it would be better not to include them.. so, if you can create one without humans always better

2005-06-23 [Keii]: Fav font site: http://www.coolarchive.com/

2005-06-23 [Keii]: *nods* I was just collecting ideas together about what to do. Just wanted to know, thats all ^^

2005-06-24 [Tepi]: I'm curiously waiting for your entries, I like your art :P

2005-06-25 [Truth . Beauty . Love]: Hello there everyone, i've made a new page for this wiki. Texture is where you can find/request a texture to use in your work. More textures will be added soon!

2005-06-25 [Keii]: Who's art?

2005-06-25 [Tepi]: I was talking about your art, Keisari :P

2005-06-25 [Keii]: Really? Aw.... *huggles* I love your art too, I still find that creature adorable ^^

2005-06-26 [Tepi]: *hugs* Adorable? If I saw that bug in my house, I wouldn't think that it's adorable :P

2005-06-26 [Keii]: Well it's adorable in a.. strange way o.O

2005-06-26 [Keii]: Anyone wanting to do requests then go visit the request area, or go put your name down at request area artists

2005-07-28 [Zab]: hello....

2005-07-28 [Tepi]: hey there =)

2005-07-28 [Zab]: so,,photomanipulations.that´s kinda fun..

2005-07-29 [Lioness123]: yep, takes alot of time and alot of work

2005-07-29 [Zab]: mhm...never done anything 'big'...>>...ah well. goodnight

2005-08-11 [Keii]: Got something for you... *chuckles* ... You Know You're...

2005-08-11 [Zab]: eh...okie..Oo...*get's ready for an un-pleasant surprise (I'm paranpoid..) and clicks it*

2005-08-11 [Tepi]: heh!! it was great! :P thanks for putting that up here =) hmm.. did you notice anything common with you and that description? ;P

2005-08-11 [Zab]: uhm..numerate them from the top..>< 1 3 5 6 8 & 9 have happened..><

2005-08-11 [Tepi]: I guess we're addicted... ;)

2005-08-11 [Keii]: Haha, I think it pretty much describes most of us XD

2005-08-11 [Zab]: yeah..and I only had any graphicsprogram (exept paint) since X-mas...quite quick to get addicted..Oo

2005-08-11 [Tepi]: I got Photoshop 7.0 before summer and I start spending days just by fixing pictures and trying out some manipulations :S

2005-08-11 [Zab]: hehe..same here...and now I finally got a camera (just a small webcam.. :S) so I have some pictures to play with...>.>

2005-08-11 [Keii]: I've had Photoshop 6.0 for AGES and then copied CS from a friend of the family... I'm pretty much glued to the computer now, especially since I got my new graphics tablet in Feb ^^

2005-08-11 [Tepi]: heh, and I guess you're now spending even more time with it ;)

2005-08-11 [Zab]: yupyup..and soon school starts..no photosfop there..and only 5 hours a day at the computer...*sob

2005-08-11 [Keii]: Hey, [Zab] have you joined yet?

2005-08-11 [Zab]: hm...don't know..Oo...I'll check..

2005-08-11 [Zab]: Now I have..who should I inform?

2005-08-11 [Keii]: Yay! Another member ^^ Just drop a line to [qwertyasdfgzxcvb] if you wish

2005-08-11 [Zab]: eh..ok

2005-09-08 [cagedreptile]: photoshop is amazing and i use for most of my graphics

2005-09-14 [Tepi]: Any suggestions for the next contest? =)

2005-09-14 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: Let's have a Tezz contest :P

2005-09-14 [Tepi]: Hmmh... *expels Cloud.Connected* Any BETTER suggestions? ;P

2005-09-14 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: Not many people have joined the creature contest =(

2005-09-14 [Tepi]: I think it's because it's too difficult... or at least I think so

2005-09-14 [Tepi]: Maybe everyone would wake up if there was a new contest? ;) And an easier subject.

2005-09-14 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: pick one

2005-09-14 [Tepi]: Ehm... does anyone have any suggestions?

2005-09-14 [Orgasmo]: thirst

2005-09-15 [Lioness123]: i suggest a contest where we colorize a black and white old photo

2005-09-15 [Ocean Soul]: That´s actually a cool idea.

2005-11-09 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: Lioness123, want to create a contest for it? =) My point today is to find out how many active members this wiki really has. So people, please add a tiny comment here if you're awake :P

2005-11-09 [Zab]: *yawn* uhm...I mean..hi! ^^

2005-11-09 [Keii]: *snores*

2005-11-09 [Ocean Soul]: *blink*

2005-11-10 [Orgasmo]: present

2005-11-10 [Vesthrix]: Hi, I'm not here home right now, but if you'd like to leave a message, start talking after the tone. Ahem, present.

2005-11-10 [Tepi]: Also present

2005-11-10 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: 7/40 confirmed :P I think we should boost this place to get it back to alive. Maybe if we create multiple contests and I remove all the passwords for the pages so you can freely add subpages and keep on building this wiki. And oh yes, I used word WE, because this is for us all. And I would like that you could feel like a part of this as much as I do. What do you say?

2005-11-10 [Ocean Soul]: Maybe the current contests should be advertised on the mainstreet calendar, so more people join and get to know about this at all.

2005-11-11 [Ocean Soul]: Yay, good idea !

2005-11-11 [Vesthrix]: and ideas!

2005-11-12 [Lioness123]: I don't have any black and white pictures that we could colorize...maybe I could find an uncopyrighted one on the web

2005-11-13 [Ocean Soul]: I have loads of monochrome photos xP Want any?

2005-11-13 [Zab]: or take a colored photo and make it in greyscale, then color it again? Oo

2005-11-13 [Lioness123]: we could do that...

2005-11-13 [Ocean Soul]: Point :P But then really greyscale, not 'desaturate'!

2005-11-13 [Tupile]: good point there. Useing the Channel Mixer gives you much more control over the process.

2005-11-23 [Tepi]: There are already 41 members =) Great! ^^

2005-11-23 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: 41 and less than 10 active. great.

2005-11-23 [Tepi]: Better the less than none, Cloud.

2005-11-24 [Lioness123]: less than none? hmm....

2005-11-25 [Tepi]: Not less than none! =) I meant the less is better than none ;)

2005-11-25 [Lioness123]: oooOOOooh

2005-11-29 [Tupile]: Anyone up for starting a round of Photoshop Tennis here on Elftown? Basically two people go back and forth with one photoshop file, adding one new layer each time, and optionally manipulating the previous layers.  Info: http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,47132,00.html or http://www.layermatch.com/

2005-11-29 [Orgasmo]: why not?

2005-11-30 [Dil*]: sweet.

2005-11-30 [Tupile]: And what makes it even more fun... with each round, a jpeg can be put up on a page here, where people are encouraged to make a running commentary of the photoshop battle.

2005-12-01 [Dil*]: hey, can you send pdf files on msn? And could we be paired with people at the same level? Cause' frankly, I'm not that great.

2005-12-01 [Tupile]: I think you can send photoshop psd files over msn. Or even easier, use http://www.yousendit.com/  then you can send big files, and not even have to be online with the person at the same time.

2005-12-01 [Tupile]: As for difficulty, it's pretty much more of a friendly competition. There's not really any real winner unless the spectators here wish to choose one. And think about it... if you get paired up with someone really great, then you can learn a lot from them.

2005-12-01 [Dil*]: alright, that makes sense.

2006-02-18 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: this thing seems to have become just one more inactive wiki...

2006-02-18 [Dil*]: Yes, unfortunately.

2006-02-18 [pixish]: did anyone end up putting the contests on the mainstreet contests page?

2006-02-18 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: Guess not

2006-02-18 [Dil*]: You should, as the owner :P

2007-01-24 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: It's time to try to get this place back to life. Maybe I should announce some new contests or something. Also if anyone is interested in becoming additional owner/host for the wiki? It would boost this place much more if there would be many people enhancing it.

2007-01-24 [Keii]: Ooohh a new contest would be good :)

2007-01-24 [Orgasmo]: always welcome

2007-02-07 [qwertyasdfgzxcvb]: I have something to say for all of you. I'm leaving Elftown for good. Do whatever you want with this wiki. I can't be here anymore.

2010-10-17 [pixish]: Anyone still here?
