Humor

Photoshopped "early computing" hoax, winner of a photoshop contest Fark.com, by user "lukket"; this image even fooled news publications as to its authenticity.

The contest usually asks users to edit the picture in a humorous way, or according to a specific theme. The users then go away and edit the image to the requirements and post their results to the site. Once all the users have submitted their versions of the image, they vote on the quality of the other user's submissions. The user whose image receives the most votes wins.

A large part of the humor in many of these contests involves the use of clichés — often the result of a tremendous repetition of the joke from a funny image; so much so that the original joke is lost and using the cliché itself is the joke. Such clichéd pictures can often become internet phenomena. Here is a list of some of the most oft-used clichés: To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ...

Photoshop tennis

Photoshop tennis is a game played through sequential alternating photoshopping of an image. It is generally played with two players,^[1] though doubles matches, as in the sport tennis, or other multiplayer matches are theoretically possible. The players pick a starting image, or one is "served" by a player, then another player makes some sort of alteration to the image in any graphics manipulation package that they like. He or she then sends that altered image to the other player or players, usually via email or by posting the image to a Photoshop tennis forum, who then edits that image and sends it back to the first player. This process goes back and forth until a predetermined number of rounds have elapsed, or the players otherwise wish to end the game. When the final round is over, there may be an independent judge who determines who has played the best shots, and declares that person the winner, or players may play without a clear winner. Sometimes extra rules can be enforced, such as sticking to a particular software package, or keeping to a particular theme. For other uses, see Tennis (disambiguation). ...
