MCP Editing and Photography Challenges: Highlights from this Week

Do you believe in magic? This week’s photo editing challenge requires making a little bit of magic using Photoshop to create a fantasy composite image. You can learn how by reading THIS blog post by Elizabeth Hall.

Here is the composite background photo, shoot and shared by Elizabeth Hall:

Several of members of the group have shared great edits. Here are a few of the many favorites:

Edited by Brenda Ramos

MCP Touch of Darkness 100% around edges.

MCP One Click Color at 75% and Fantasy at 50%.

MCP Fusion-Surroundedx2.

Edited by Petra Stanley

 MCP One click color, fantasy, sunflare to the left, then one click b&w all from the MCP Fusion collection.

Join us for the photo editing challenge. It will give you a chance to edit other photographer’s images, share them for critique, and see how others edit the same photographs.  Participating allows you to practice editing, learn how to give constructive criticism, and watch what steps or Photoshop actions and Lightroom presets are used in various edits.  Join us to edit the bi-weekly photos.  There’s one more week left for this one.

If you have an idea on how you’d edit the image below, or want to see and learn what others did, JOIN US HERE.

Thank you to Elizabeth Hall for allowing us to use this photo.  The current challenges are linked at the top of the group. Remember, you can also ask for critique on your edit.

Thank you to everyone who participated; we enjoyed seeing your take on the challenge. Didn’t get a chance to edit this week? You still have an additional week to participate.

This week the Photography Challenge continued with more up close and personal macro photos.  The photo challenge is a great way to reach outside the box and work hard.  You have the support of a large group of photographers who can assist you and give you feedback as you work on specific themes and skills.  We loved seeing so many great photos. Here are a few we wanted to feature, but make sure to check the album on the group page for more.
