Many thanks to @cdcook48 for hosting the last round of the ETSOOI (Edit the Shenanigans/Sorryness/Sh!t Out Of It) Challenge. Thanks also to all who entered and those who took the time to view and vote for the finalists.
If you enjoy mucking about with photos in "post", then this is the challenge for you. How much editing can you do? As much as you like.Your photo didn't turn out the way you wanted? You can sort it, correct it, change it!! Do you love the photo and see something else you can bring out in it; tweak those sliders, change the background, try out that new-to-you tool. Use a technique that you have seen or heard about but never tried for yourself. YouTube can be a good source of inspiration combined with how to do it.
Edit using your favourite editing tools, or app, and tag it ETSOOI-172 for the challenge.
The two rules for entering this challenge:
1. The photo must be taken within the specified time frame, January 13, 2026 (backdated to the end of the last challenge) - February 18, 2026
2. The photo must be taken by you.
And for clarity, while many editing programs make use of AI in some fashion, the starting point should be an image that you took with your camera, not something AI-generated.
