The Untitled RAW Stills - submission deadline - Sunday July 25th

I vote upload as finished - that way no one feels hurried for the grand unveiling.

I, too, am done. I feel like this showed me some of my weaknesses as a post-processor - I'm fairly competent with curves, the histogram and how to work with the color sliders for B&W and a few technical bits, but when it comes to things like graduating skies without looking terrible I'm pretty weak. Lightroom has gotten so complicated and feature-packed, I should probably read a book or take an online course or something.

I've created a flickr group but apparently you can't divide group pool submissions by sets

oh wait - I think I can start topics/threads for each person and everybody can post that person's picture to that thread

yo gbx you should submit your pix whenever

got to be honest man,

without a polling/voting option here ur thread is looking v shabby next to the competition.

step it up

yr friend

Sorry guys know mine is corny, have never been satisfied with my results with it

Good stuff. My efforts are in the group but I have to dash to work so can't contribute to the discussion threads until tonight...I doubt I can remember precisely what I did to each image without Lightroom reminding me.

i guess we should do our own thang before checking out how others have done it, huh.

lol 'Saving Private Ryan' sheep OTM- good job whoever that was :)

I'm done, few crops here and there and some messing with colours and B&W's too.

Argh, gutted I missed this.

it's not too late? e-mail your pic to ilpilx at gmail

Will send something tonight when I get home.

job done. full confession - a fair bit of preset usage, albeit with further tweaking (except for one where i hit the button and it looked too good to mess with any more).

Like what you've done with mine ledge.

aye well that would be the one i can't take the credit for, just a preset.

I've added my quick attempts to the group pool. I think I want to try again with some of these when I've got more time to sit with each image individually.

just found the discussions! and added my tuppence.

:) feel bad that I

i) submitted such lo-res amateur efforts
ii) don't actually edit pics

but thanks for work on mine everyone

But the beach shot in particular was ideal! I've even had people favouriting it in my photostream! Had to explain that I didn't take it...

mine are up, added them to the discussions as well. Really delighted by the variety of processing techniques.

I've even had people favouriting it in my photostream! Had to explain that I didn't take it...

This is why i set up another account, didn't want to confuse people and myself.

Also, if someone said "this is the best shot you've ever taken, miles better than your usual stuff" i don't know what i'd do :(

Ha! I actually manually hacked the upload dates/times on my previous batch of photos so they'd move back to the top of the photostream, but the damage was done and I was getting plenty of love meant for darraghmac, sciolism and dyao!

:) mayne as long as my work is, y'know out there, mayne, y'know?

new a/c seems the way forward. impressive PS work, sciolism! definitely enjoyed this, would be up for it again.

Enjoyed it as well, has given me a kick up the bum to get my head around PS, i'm alright with LR, but PS is another level to me.

thanks, ledge. don't know what a proper retoucher would make of it, but it was fun.

and thank you dyao. this was a great idea and you did a fantastic job organizing it. A+ would do again. hope this can become a rolling thing.

yea kudos to dyao

Yeah, thanks to dyao for doing this.
My attempts last night were done as a batch in Lightroom - i.e., I came up with a preset of my own and applied to all the images. Which is how I tend to use Lightroom!
I spent a little while with a couple of images in Photoshop today, dealing with them individually, but they need a bit more time if I were going to put them up.

going to be a few days until i can get to this. not letting myself see the finals until then.

Who's not had a go at processing yet?

same boat as lukas; hope to be done by the weekend!

Cheers for putting this together dyao, hope it continues?

aw thanks for the kind words everyone but really it was all your participation that made it and tbrr all I did was set up a google account.

yeah this should definitely be rolling - need to set up a public shared space though, maybe a mediafire folder?

Damn, missed all this. Would be well up for some shopping of other folks' pictures.

We can also set up something here on ILX to make all this easier. Photo upload or FTP and then some kind of gallery app installed? Will look into it.

that would be totes awes.

would be dope, agreed

got mine done tonight, rushed a few but oh well..

definitely agree milo's was the hardest, am happy with the crop I made but still don't have a clue about how to get a good foreground/background dynamic going...

really liked what you did with mine, ledge! it's really got that warm afternoon glow

i also regret missing this thread.

Finished, then net died (on phone now.)

I can't think of anything I want to do to Michael's. It's lovely.

Also, am now much more comfortable with the Tone Curve tool. Thanks for putting this together dyao.

Doing them now. What do I do once I finished?

There's a Flickr pool for them: http://www.flickr.com/groups/ilpilx/

Also, if you feel like it, post a small version in the discussion thread attached to that pool and tell us what you did.

I've started taking a second bite at the cherry with the images, now that I have more time to look at each individual image.
I just uploaded my second attempt at milo's image. It turned out a bit more extreme than I intended, really.

really educational seeing what everyone else has done

just uploading mine to flickr, but probably wont have time until after the weekend to write about what I did....
