Question

Something for the weekend ?

We spend a lot of time on the forum asking questions and helping each other out, quite rightly, as that is the purpose of the forum.

However, given the excellent range of skills across our forum users - how about a bit of fun and a chance to show off your Photoshop skills.

This is one of my favourite bits of coastline in the North East of England. I wonder what it might look like in the future though. With global warming will the sea rise or fall? Will the coast be developed , might the castle be restored/ or removed and replaced with something else?

Anything goes as long as it keeps to the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.

Everyone is welcome to have a go - whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop "Grand Master".

No prizes - just the chance to practice / show off or bring a bit of humour and fun!

Trying to upload my contribution from my computer, but I keep getting the message "That Image type forbidden." Any suggestions?

Change the format to (say) a JPG.

Thanks, Derek. I tried JPG and PNG, and a photo of my dog to make sure there wasn't a problem with the content. Same message each time.

At my age I have a pretty good idea of what the future looks like.

(For the record, I created this in Lab)

What the heck...let's just turn the whole thing into a parking lot. And then obviously, the logical next step is a whole village of apartment buildings for the insanely rich elderly.

BTW, the "The D.Fosse award for correct use of colour (any colour!)" goes to Dave, for the blue sky in the original shot. It's...perfect. Really. This is what a mid-day blue sky looks like. But I can't afford to send him an Eizo, so it'll have to be a sky blue crayon.

Poor Dave, I don't think he expected to see his house demolished by a Norwegian with attitude. I thought you were supposed to give us Christmas Trees Dag! Come on America the Europeans are beating the preverbial **** out of you on this . I know it's cold there and your microprocessors are frozen solid there, but if Trevor can do it upside down with a band of hostile Maoris with curare tipped spears at his door at the door, so can you. No wonder you never win the Ryder Cup and Justin Gatlin only win when plugged into an intravenous drip.

His house...? Are you saying, Terri, that Dave lives in a castle? That explains a lot. Looks like it could use a paint job, though.

Norman, I think you're a bit pessimistic here. By all accounts it's not 0-0-0, but rather 100-0-0. Let's talk again in ten years time, and I'm sure you'll see it differently

Only one American entry so far, they must be too busy 'Making America Great Again'

You should offer a prize Dave,

First Prize: 1 week in the White House with Donald and Melania Trump

Second Prize : Two weeks in the White House with Donald and Melania Trump and the chance to play with Barron's train set- Union Pacific.

Third Prize An evening with Harvey Weinstein , Kevin Spacey and Al Franken. Entertainment provided by David Duke duetting with Diana Ross and Beyoncé Knowles in a rousing rendition of the Camptown Races Spectacular light show visible on the grass outside through the window. Bullet proof vests supplied on request.

Hi Chana

That looks a lovely place and it would be nice to see the coast look like that. The idea though is to use Photoshop (or any other tools) to change the photo in the first post - if you did that and ended up with your photo I'm very impressed

Hi Trevor - good to see your system is running. I'll have to pass you a file with a 3D layer so we can compare render times.

Today I learned that if you place text inside a Shape and Free Transform it, weird stuff happens.

BTW I do have a lot of brush sets, but I mostly use about a dozen, and I tend to make brushes on the fly for special purposes, and I don't always save them. What I like about the prizes is that I only need give away a few brush sets, but Dag has to gift an uber expensive Eizo monitor. Yep, that works for me.

BTW again, does anyone else think that the swimmer looks like Dave?

Dave's far more toned than that, more in the Arnold Schwarzenegger mould, but there is a passing resemblance. I suppose your flying the Sopwith Camel Trevor? Shouldn't it be the New Zealand flag though. As you throw everything, but the kitchen sink into your images-how about Jason and the Argonauts in the background and a Cyclops about to pick up the chubby Frenchman who looks like Dave? I imagine a 60ft tall giant might need extra large condoms

I have a slightly more gloomy view about the future

Haha - at least the sky is still blue Terri. It looks like the water's coming up though. We'll need all those power stations to charge the electric cars - I hope it it's going to be windy overnight
