Take a source image that has no specific lighting and create your own artificial lighting in your favorite 2D program. For example, you could use a photo of an apartment block at night, without any lights in the apartment. On this photo, add lights shining from some or all apartments. More examples: give headlight beams to cars, add streetlights, light the inside of a room… Realistic strong lighting, reflections and shadows are key here. The more realistic your artificial lighting looks, the better. Don’t forget to include your “before”-image for comparison. Good luck!

Your task is to re-create these magical moments using any software you like. Make sure to mention from which fairy tale it’s a part of, or try to make the viewers guess! Good luck!

22 – CMYK46
Contest goal:
PXL members donate pictures of themselves, and it is your job to manipulate their images to make them look either good or evil. Chop them into unusual places, mess with their proportions, give them funny costumes… but do not post anything that would be considered offensive or distasteful. We already had a caricature contest of this kind, please do not post entries of that contest here.

18 – X-ray fisherman
Contest goal:
The x-ray wavelength is extremely short, so x-rays have a very high frequency that we cannot see with the naked eye. The x in x-rays initially stood for something mysterious… Today people prefer the term rontgen rays (because Wilhelm Rontgen accidently discovered them).

What can we do with x-rays in Photoshop? In practice, x-rays pass through many solid objects and are used by doctors to examine human and animal bones and teeth. With x-ray vision they can actually see the bones. This is what we’re going to simulate in photoshop! Take any image of a living being and show how it looks in x-ray vision! (either partially or completely)
