I have been working so hard at learning CS3. I have my photography business up and running that is taking up most of my time. I know I still have so much to learn.
I am trying to get into a Photoshop class. ($375 value) You had to turn in one of your worst images from the past. Mine was picked for the worst top 10.
With my hard drive crash, I had a hard time finding something. She is going to give the 1 last open spot to the image that is picked "the worst". In other words we need the most help. LOL! Friends and family are invited to vote so I am not pushing the limit by asking for help.

I am # 6 but you will recognize my girls.
I had added so many other things,you can barley see them. I don't think I understood about reducing opacity. :p But boy, I had the layer and blend modes down.
all part of the learning process.
Now, PLEASE go vote!
Edit: oh and Thank You! Thank You!!

Kimi,
I just voted for your image... the results that show afterward indicate that you are in 2nd place with 17.7% of the vote, behind #8 with 26.6%. Behind you is #2 with 12.9%.
Feels weird voting for a friend's image as being the worst!!! :D

Arrrr matey.... (love the avatar)
thanks for the vote Byron! It was such a cool idea. Vote for the worst. I think #8 is worse than mine but I do hope I make the worst one. It would be such a great opportunity. :D

Actually Kimi, I thought #4 was pretty tacky. I thought yours was pretty complex, don't know how many layers you got going on in that image, but all things considered, it had me looking for a long time...now if I can just get over the double vision:D

Hi Kimi!
I thought you would enjoy knowing that you are tied with #8 at 21.9%! For first place! :D I did what I could to help!
Make it a great day!

Thanks so much everyone!! :D
The vote goes on until late Thursday or early Friday.
I can remember at the time, I thought the image was really cool. I had the whole layers thing down and was experimenting with blend modes. Poor Holly, it looks like she doesn't even have any eyes. I guess I didn't get the concept of lowering the opacity.

kimi,
I bet #8 is saying those exact words to herself tonight! (well it is now 2:00am my time... she may be sleeping!)
She is probably wondering how you are getting ahead of her! :)
You have 27.9% #8 has 26.0%

Thank so much everyone!!
We were told to pass the link on to our family and friends. I am sure #8 was doing just what I was doing. ;)
It is nice to have lots of friends. I sure hope she announces that I am the worst. :D

Ric Cisson

I agree with Sepiana, feels strange sending congratulations to the "worst". Not so sure I would like to be remembered as the "worst" winner. Anyway, congrats always glad to vote for a friend, though I still think I have double vision.:D

kimi,
I am really sorry to hear you were the worst. I am near tears as I write this. I had always thought your work was much better than that. Perhaps with this you can now learn to improve. I do hope so. :o

I really hate to say this, but I thought your submission was pretty good.
Well ok I would have been pleased to be able to do that standard.
Ah well, one day if I work hard enough my work MAY be good enough to get 'Worst in Show'.
Seriously tho, congratulations

October 19th, 2008, 07:29 PM

Howard, I can remember when I was very proud of that creation. But now, I think OMG! I could have at least reduced the opacity of the layers. :eek:
