Lets see how good you really are with Photoshop, the challenge is to either take, or get a picture of your city (or nearest city) and Photoshop it to look like it's been abandoned 20 or so years. Rules are you have to post the original and the 'shopped version I'll start...

Did you just win your own thread? I might try this, it seems interesting. Couldn't this just be classed as a Photoshop competition? Then again, people get rated artistic over there just for clone stamping someone out of a picture. This could be fun if I do my home city of Manchester and find a picture that includes the massive glass tower.

That's damn awesome.
Seeing as this thread hasn't exactly gotten going yet, here is a WiP of my editing. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/work_in_progress.jpg[/img] Here's the original photograph: [B][url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/resized.jpg[/url][/B] I cropped off most of it on the WiP because I have only begun work at street-level so far.
Finally a great photoshop contest! :D
While that indeed looks awesome as hell, would it really be so overgrown in just 20 years? Anyway I still came furiously when I saw it.

Very artistic repopulating, but we all know Hull isn't like that. (Kudos if you know why I'm dissin' Hull.)

Not a city but it kind of fits the theme. Will do a city tomorrow after my flash exam :/ [img_thumb]http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/9180/rapeseedfield1.jpg[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4608952/field.jpg[/img_thumb] Clickable, of course

Ok, so we're just posting stuff we did in other threads now?
One rule should be "only new stuff can be posted"... and people should read the bit about "your home city/town". Nice work on your picture though, Funnycat.
Yeah, Im not arguing that those are bad or anything, because they're good. I just dont think they need to be reposted. Especially when one of them isn't even a city.
I stated in my post that I'd make a city one tomorrow and didn't take a lot of space by using thumbs. Let's stop wasting posts on discussion of 'rules', shall we?
I know what you did, I was just saying what I felt needed to be said because I sensed a pattern forming.
Hopefully you've prevented this thread's apocalypse (heh)
[QUOTE=acon5;22196386]While that indeed looks awesome as hell, would it really be so overgrown in just 20 years? Anyway I still came furiously when I saw it.[/QUOTE] Incorrect. Have you seen pictures of Pripyat in Chernobyl, that has only been abandoned for just over 20 years and it's overgrown as fuck.
Jesus fuck, you guys are PS gods.

[QUOTE=chaoss;22209860]I can't wait to see this one finished, although you may need to desaturate and maybe use overlay on those there bits of rust on the sign[/QUOTE] Thanks! I know, everything is still WiP. You should see the Beetham Tower with the top half ripped off. :v: (I don't know why the top half has been destroyed, I guess there was a war, either that or the steel supports decayed or something. I dunno.)
What happens if my town already looks post-apocalyptic? [editline]05:42PM[/editline] OH MY GOD THIS [B]FUCKING BRIDGE[/B] IS THE MOST AWKWARDLY SHAPED THING EVER caps (google "transporter bridge middlesbrough")
Wow... it is.
Alright, this didn't go nearly as well as I hoped it would. I'm going to try again tomorrow, but with a better image. It's too wide angled - I can't fit very much detail onto it, so I focused on the bridge instead. [url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/middlesbroughfuture_00000.png[/url] Not image tagging it because it's huge.
Original image? It looks really nice although... somewhat lacking in detail. Without the original picture, all I could say was that you wrecked the bridge (which turned out okay if a little blurry) and then desaturated it and messed with the colour balance.
I just wrecked the bridge. Everything else was too far away that you wouldn't be able to see very well what I changed.

I gotta try this, just gotta find a good spot.
Couldn't be bothered to finish it. [IMG]http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn148/kindakoolman123/c17.jpg[/IMG] [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Post Only Your Own Work" - daijitsu))[/highlight]
