If you’re not sure what to do for this contest here’s a couple ideas that are pretty easy:
– selective desaturation (color popping unnaturally) or objects or colors
(copy the whole photo and paste in a layer on top of the original. Make this layer black and white. Erase wherever you want the color to show through)
– built-in artistic filters or warping
(usually found in the edit or artistic menu, just play around with various settings)
– adding vignettes/shadows/light flares
(usually found in borders or light settings)
– fake tilt shift with http://www.tiltshiftmaker.com
– extreme desaturation, oversaturation, exposure, curve tweaking, etc.
– combining multiple exposures to create scenes that should not go together (something like a Magritte or Dali painting) kind of like this example. (this might not actually be legal for this contest)
