I'd like to join in on this too.
I like taking other people's shots and editing them...

| Sure, but I can sometimes carry editing to unexpected or undesirable extremes ... I don't want anybody to get mad : ) |

A few months ago there were a few threads about an Advanced Editing Contest, which was done on the side. A few people would all edit the same photo, and the finished shots would be posted somewhere to be voted on. Might be another idea for those interested in different editing techniques for one shot. Here is a link to one of the threads.

i was thinking that if there could be a part of the site where people could post pics, then someone would edit it for them and give them the steps they used...
kinda like the critique club, except editing instead of critiquing :)

| I don't think you need a separate area ... I have a portfolio folder called "Member Tests" or something to make them easy to find, and the request/response can just be in a running thread. Then newcomers can search through a big assortment in one place. |

it just seems like it would be a lot easier if there was an archive where all the edited photos wer kept. also if there was an area for it people could learn from other peoples images...

I suggested that a while back.
The edited pics were taking far too much of my precious 25MB (at that time) and eventually had to clean them out. |

| You can save the jpeg only or just keep it in a small size (although you might not want to delete all your work I know, but burn a cd or something?), the point would be for the other person to see it and learn how to get there? I think that would be great! |

yep, the person would learn how to do it, but it would be great if it could be open, and anyone could see the editing steps...

Yes, we had 12-20 people edit the same photo, under advanced editing rules (not a photoshopping-art contest). Then we'd let anyone vote, and the winner, got to pick the photo from their own collection for the next one.
We just ran it from Gallery, but it wasn't the easiest setup to work with because the admin had to "sterilize" the file names and track whose file was which.
But the contest was a lot of fun, and you could see the various ways and degrees people would handle the same original.
If that interests you I would be willing to help revive it. It mainly died because the winner of the last contest (the fourth, I believe), who would be the "admin" for the next one, never started the next contest.

Probably would need a small allotment of maybe 50-100MB or something and a small sub-council of users for it that can upload images to it with links to the original pic and details of editing steps...
Several users being able to access a common Editing Club area and possibly a dedicated hidden thread...
I can't see much more being needed.
Maybe 5 users could head up the group and add members later at the discretion of group leaders.
Something very similar to the Critique Club I would imagine. |

hmmm.... thats not really what i was thinking.
i wasnt really thinking about a contest, i was thinkng more along the lines of someone is a assigned a photo after someone request it be re-editied. Then they re-edit it and post how they did it.

yep, eschelar hit my idea pretty much right on the head. It would basically be a rework of the critique club, but instead of critiquing, there would be a re-edit..

Well this is already done all the time in the forums. Anyone can post: "help me edit this." and it's done all the time.
You could start a single thread as suggested, but while that might gain a dedicated following, there'd also be confusion as new posts/requests come in before old ones are "done". It would become hard to look through and see what's done.
The "contest" we had was indeed for learning moreso than competition. The idea was to see a large number of edits (10-20) at a time on the same photo.
You could drop the contest part and do the same thing in the following manner.
- Set up a PHP "gallery" site, like I used for the contest
- Make it so members (approved by admin) can upload images to any subgallery, as well as create their own subgallery.
- Anyone wanting to submit an image for editing creates a subgallery and uploads that image, with the title "Original - plus optional rest of clever title".
- Anyone wanting to edit it does, and uploads the edited version, with comments, to the same subgallery.
Now you have a gallery, with X subgalleries. Each subgallery has Y images in it, an original, and all the contributed edits with instructions in the comments.
I would consider setting it up on one of my servers, but I'd have to consider how much space and bandwidth it might consume once it gets going, as I have definite limts there.
