Monthly Theme (June): "HDR-ish" [***WINNERS***]

view profile

Brenda Anderson is a group administrator Brenda Anderson  Pro User  says:

Update... Winners announced

Each month, we have a "monthly contest" highlighting various Picnik tools, and it is your opportunity to show us what you can do. You may enter up to 3 "before/after" photos and on June 20th (or thereabouts), everyone will have a chance to vote on their three favourites.

Please number your submissions based on their position in this thread. Please post "small" size only (you can get the HTML by clicking "all sizes" above your photo and choosing "small". (or use the before/after HTML from picnik)

Please also add your "after" photo to the group pool.

You can quickly get the "before/after" HTML to post in the thread when you save your new version in picnik. Just click the "copy before/after html to clipboard" box on the picnik save screen.

This month's theme is "HDR-ish".

HDR imaging is a technique that brings out a wider tonal range than otherwise possible. Generally, it requires a blending of multiple exposures and specialist software to do that.

On Picnik, we've made it a lot easier by offering an HDR-ish tool (note the "ish"). This tool lets you create photos that have an HDR look without needing to do all the fancy exposure stuff. :) Some will argue that it is not true HDR! We agree, but it's fun and it's ishy. :)

So, show us your best HDR-ish creations.

We'd like these themes to be a fun way for you to try new ideas, so please try to use new "edits" rather than digging through your stream for oldies. Feel free to use older photos that you want to "give new life" or take new photos; either is acceptable.

If you have questions, be sure to ask in the Monthly Theme Contest Questions thread.

First, you'll need to upload both your before & after photo to your flickr account (or make them public if you've already got them here).

Then, go to each photo, click the 'all sizes' button above it. On the next page, choose "small" and then copy the HTML in the box directly under the photo. Paste it here.

Hope that helps.

thanks you so much for having these contests.
this is my first one,
but i've been using picnik for about a month and a half now.
i used a few other tools (along with HDR-ish) on all 3 of my pics. is that ok?

I think the HDR-ish effect can be used in many different ways and that is borne out by the voting, where 54 of our entries received at least one vote... it seems we all have varying taste when it comes to this effect!

Congrats to the winners once again, and we'll be announcing the next monthly theme contest in a few days. I'll be in touch with the winners to arrange their prizes in a couple of days.

Also, if you haven't already done so, please add your entries to the group pool!
