The Competition Has Been Suspended for the Current Season
The emphasis for this competition is on your editing skills using software of your choice, e.g. Photoshop.
The idea is to combine several images together and is defined as follows:
Compositing is the combining of visual elements from separate sources into single images,
often to create the illusion that all those elements are part of the same scene. (Wikipedia)
You can use two or more images from any source as long as you don't violate anyone's copyright.
This means you can use your own images (obviously), public domain images, images available for
use under a Creative Commons licence or images that you have licensed for your use.
Each member is allowed up to three entries. Each entry should consist of the composite image
and a panel image showing the source images used.
The judge will look for technical and artistic merit along with 'plausibility' so get that lighting
right and don't forget about shadows!
All image files submitted should conform to the usual PDI constraints i.e. maximum width is 1600px
and maximum height is 1200px. Colour space should be sRGB.
Image files should be named using the following format of index number, title, and author,
separated by underscores:
01_Space Fantasy_John Doe.jpg
01_Space Fantasy(source)_John Doe.jpg
02_Wildly Unlikely_John Doe.jpg
02_Wildly Unlikely(source)_John Doe.jpg
03_Strange Brew_John Doe.jpg
03_Strange Brew(source)_John Doe.jpg
Some Tips
Source Images
Although the submitted images should be competition size, we recommend that your source images you actually use to create a final image, are original size (out of camera), so that any small crops made are of sufficient resolution for copy/paste into the final image (which you will resize for submission).
Example Images
You will find images from previous competitions HERE and can use them as examples for your own compositions.
