| We Are And Have Always Been And Will Continue To Be A PHOTO-MANIPULATION group. What is meant by Photo-Manipulation?  As far as this group is concerned, "photo-manipulations are images that have been composed of two or more photographic elements to create something new."The above quote comes from past CR Volunteer for Photo-Manipulation, ^kuschelirmel. [link] I ask you to use more than three stocks (basic required stock, background, more than one additional stock) to create interesting images. The example below is NOT a photo-manipulation. It is one vintage stock that has been completely edited using the Smudge and Push tool. You can find a tutorial on colorizing and using tools to get a painterly effect HERE.   For this group, you can use in your photo-manipulations, brushes, textures, some filters, and some special effects as long as the end results looks like a photo-manipulation as defined above. What is meant by a Mix-Media? According to ex-Digital Art GM,`cosmosue, mix media is, "the process of creating a work using more than one form of creation. Take for example a photomanip, you are using photos and maybe some textures and/or brushes. Well take that photomanip and throw in some digital hand painting and now you have mixed more than one medium to create your work".  For More About Mixed-Media, See This Interview With `cosmosue [link] We Do NOT Do Mixed Media At This Group!However, doing some "hand work" and using "adjustments, effects" and similar, is expected. That means, "some" Digital Painting/Airbrushing (or the use of other tools to get a painterly effects), And Rendered Stock Is Allowed to complete your Photo-Manipulation. How much? A little: such as, to finish hair, make the tail of a dress look wind blown, create grass, clear up blemishes on the skin, and such. Yes, I will no longer accept any deviation that is really Mix-Media or straight forward digital painting; i.e., painting over the original stock for most or the entire deviation.If you want to participate in one of our challenges, and you're basically a digital painter, why not challenge yourself to do a strict photo-manipulation? After all, that's what this group is about, challenging yourself and learning something new. If you have any questions please write to me at the group. |

I voted and left a separate comment for you to send affiliation requests for the stock groups I admin, as well as two groups that have stock folders, as well as many manipulation submissions. Also, I added your group to my watch 
, since I am forever looking for tutorials and like to share them with other deviants 
First, due to the result of the recent poll, the "Beautiful Women" challenge will be extended. I think one more week should do it, so the new due date is 10:00 a.m. CST, on Sunday, May 26th. Please, please, please, please participate so that we can have a real competition. Okay? 
Not all of your donations have to go to all of the winners. If you want to donate only to one level, like to the first place winners, please let me know when you donate your points.
