The rules are simple, edit the image anyway that you see fit.
Remember, to post the steps you took to acheive your final product. This challenge is as much about learning as it is about sharing with others so that they may learn.

Now, let's see what you would do!

1) Levels layer. Lightened the image and dragged center to the right. Masked out some of my lightening in the blown out area on the ground right of the sheep's head.
2) Curves layer. Very slight S curve to make the image "pop."
2a) Flatten Image.
3) Sharpened via high pass filter overlay.
3a) Flatten image.
4) Softened via screen layer gaussian blur, copy layer and add soft light filter. Adjust opacity to give a very slight softening.
5) Crop, flatten image and save.

Hopefully my image is viewable. Please let me know if you can't see it and I will change settings on Flickr.

Normally when i do these wierd ones is because I'm lazy and cant think of anything.
First thing I did (and as always every step is done on a seperate layer) was super saturate the colors. Next was to use the polar coordinates effect to create a sphere. Next I used an action called twirling abstract art. ( I used Paint Shop Pro up until this point and then used PS, then back to PSP cause I cant find this action for PSP) Next I duplicated 3 times. the middle layer I set the blend mode to multipy. The top layer I used Alien Skin Xenofex plugin for the lightening. Did several layers for the lightening. Some areas I erased that i wanted to look like it was underneath. Last I used AAA Foto Frame for the frame effect

Funky that this was born out of a sheep

Haha.. yeah, I bet not even "201 things you can do with a sheep" listed your idea windrider86!



Firstly I googled zombie arms, zombie arm and borrowed what I found. I then used curves to take down the redness in the childrens arms but decided to use it on the whole image. I cropped it down and used masks to insert the arms I found. Most things are curves applied on the arms to bring out the zombie look but then I burned it to give is some shadow. Added a layer (blend mode color) and painted the color in it. Lastly I did the text and the overdone vignette. But it's ok that it's overdone, it's supposed to be like that. Oh, and I painted some red in the sheeps eye.

I spent some time (too much time!) last night and eventually fell back on Mathmap



As usual, done in steps,and saved along the way
Appled Jitter from mathmap.
Applied 'whirl and pinch' from gimp distort filter
Colours adjust hue, decrease cyan a little and increased red and saved for Flickr
