so feel free to use whatever crappy photo editing software you desire.

More importantly, he’ll feel free use whatever dirtbag expired-shareware photo editing program he had to resort to using because he doesn’t know anyone who can afford Photoshop and he’s too dum to figure out how to pirate it off the internets.

A big NO on the suckiness stipulation. In fact, Points off for sucking, in fact. This is not some communist day care center. You can’t just crap your pants and expect us to aplaud.

BTW, I don’t think those are Muslim Imams, they look much more like magi (e.g., the 3 wise men) who existed before the advent of Islam, so points off for historical and visual inaccuracy.

Minus a million points for sad, sad photoshopping and then acting like he did it on purpose.

Technical? no, That’s just a lousy eye for proper proportions.

The composition is top heavy and the Imams do not coordinate.

A fondness for purposefully terrible photoshops? Tripping over your shoelace and saying “I meant to do that”? Claiming you suck on purpose is not a defense of lousy technique. Picasso was a master of realistic techinques before he pioneered cubism.

definitely a Sadly win.

In any event, I have a fondness for purposefully terrible MS Paint “photoshops”.

Crayon on a pizza box, WILL be a challenge not to far down the line here–I like it.

And, please link to my posts rather than host my pictures (which I do appreciate) — if you hadn’t already noticed from the NASCAR like GUI over at imao, Frank J. loves the ad revenue — besides, I think of this as an opportunity for leftist moonbats and right wingnuts to cross-polinate

Sheesh….looking at the example you posted, it’s not hard to see why. That’s just fucking awful. That reminds me of my days working on my high school newspaper in 1986 in the rural hinterlands of Pennsylvania: we used to save text and graphics to a 5.25″ floppy, drive down to the local newspaper’s production facilities, print out the material, run it through a machine that sprayed a fine layer of wax on the paper, cut it out by hand, and use a lightboard and blue grid to position it on markup paper – also by hand.

Thanks for the pleasant little saunter through the memories of youth.

Or a losing footbal coach saying, “well, we played better, even though the other team scored more points.”

The whole point of photoshopping is to make a REALISTIC image out of a fake.

My judgment: The first round is forfeit. Point to Gavin.

No mad photoshop skilz…but that might require some talent on loan from god.

note bene: check out the link above to see what can be done w/ Paint.
