ETSOOI-37 " Yellow or Blue" New Topic

June 24th, 2014
Hi guys, thanks for choosing my photo, "Abby & Ted" as the winner of ETSOOI-36! How exciting! I have never won one of these before.

ETSOOI is an acronym. It means EDITING THE S*&^% OUT OF IT. It is a processing strategy you can employ when your "photo of the day" was boring or bad. Just juice it up a little.

I like how @taffy explained it: "It may be what we do when there is a need to post a shot and we have taken nothing impressive enough for the day or it may be what we do when we have an idea for an image but it can't be done SOOC."

I have Photoshop but lots don’t! Some programs and apps you can use are:
http://www.picmonkey.com/
http://www.ribbet.com/
http://pixlr.com/
http://www.gimp.org/- NOT user friendly, but does Photoshop type edits

Apps:
Snapseed- also online
Photowizard
Picsart
Waterlogue
Percolator
Befunky- also online
Tiny Planets


So, here we go with ETSOOI-37!

The theme is...."Yellow or Blue." Why you ask, well I like Yellow and Blue and thought it leaves it open to lots more images. So if it has the colour yellow or the colour blue in it your in.
HINT: (If it hasn’t got any Blue or Yellow you can always add some)

YOU MAY ENTER AS MANY ETSOOI-37 photos as you would like.

There are many examples of previous ETSOOI images on this site-- just search the tag ETSOOI and you'll see hundreds. The main idea for this challenge is to have FUN and use post-processing to create something you cannot do simply in camera.

It is not required, but if you could post your original photo and link it in the "write up" of your ETSOOI-37 entry, along with some of the steps you took to process the photo, that would be great. It helps others know what you did to create your photo.


The challenge will start today, Tuesday/June 24 and run until Tues/July 1st at 5:00 p.m. Atlanta time (EST-US). Your picture must be taken during that time. Voting of the top 5 will occur from July 2nd to July 7th ( As I am going overseas and am not sure on available wifi).
The winner will host the next challenge and choose a theme (which can be "no theme" if he or she wants) for a new subject. Again, this week the subject is "Blue or Yellow."

Tag your photos ETSOOI-37 and have fun! Try to go to others who are tagging their photos ETSOOI-37 and comment on their attempts.

You may also post them here in this thread if you like. You do that by opening your photo, clicking on the "3 dots" icon under it, select and copy the EMBED code, and then paste that EMBED code in this discussion thread.

Have fun with your ETSOOI! I am excited to see what you come up with!
