Question

Something for the Weekend - Part 251 - Lemons and Limes!

Hi,
Thanks to all who submitted images in our previous album cover challenge. There were some great ideas and great covers.

This week we start with 4 simple fruit. You can use one or all of them in creating a new image. The only limit is your imagination, how far can you take it?

The “rules”:

  • Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.
  • Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc.
  • Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”.
  • The challenge is not limited to Photoshop. Any Adobe software can be used. 
  • There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
  • The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.

 

To download the starter image, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

 

When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

 

Have fun!

 

Dave

A fruit-shop quartet, rather than a barber-shop quartet, mj? 🙂

Hi Leslie,

 

When I can't upload it's either that my file is too big or I accidentally chose the PSD. Did you get an error message?

 

You can also try copy and paste if nothing else works.

Thanks, Jane! I didn't even think about the file size - that might be it. I'll resize and try again. Anyway no, there was no error message. It was just that nothing ever happned when I kept trying to upload. I tried it as "Choose file" and as drag and drop and nothing happened. Anyway thanks!

Blimey John.  That picture has to be twenty years old!  I actually have that green fringe in real life.

This made me laugh JR.  I looked at this and wondered how the scale compared to reality?  I was thinking that the sun would be bigger, but a quick Google suggests that you are much closer than I thought.  So thanks for today's science lesson 🙂

About fifteen years ago, I spent many hours creating a SWF application about the relative sizes of the planets and their distance from the sun.
It was originally a project I did for my children and my niece, but I improved it considerably before releasing it to the public.
I did it with Adobe ROME,a software programme whose development was ultimately abandoned, it never progressing beyond version 0.9.
Now it's all gone into the dustbin of digital history (SWF and ROME).

 

Here is the link to download this SWF embedded in a PDF, it can be read with Acrobat 9, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 (these versions of Acrobat have a built-in Flash Player): https://www.abracadabrapdf.net/pdfs-de-demo/multimedia-pdfs-de-demo/systeme-solaire/
