See if your challenge entry made it to print with our regular round-up of the best images you created

ssue six’s challenge has I been our most popular so far, and we received some truly great examples of Photoshop trickery. A lot of you went for the obvious sea connection, and there were some delightful examples of penguins frolicking about on the ocean waves. Whether they were in or out of a boat, these cheeky creatures always looked like they were up to mischief! This issue’s winner, Mark Ferguson, wowed us with his penguin space odyssey, so congratulations to him. But we can’t fail to bring attention to Andy W’s pirate penguin creation, or George Boyce’s humorous mixture of images from di erent challenges. And make sure you look at the paint e ects on Richard Dean’s entry – it looks like a set design straight out of an Indiana Jones movie!

But we’re never satis ed, and want more of your creations. So be sure to enter this issue’s challenge and you could win a copy of the excellent Fluid Mask plug-in.

WINNER! Gets a copy of the Fluid Mask plug-in Nice Space Rocks

“I fi gured out a rough concept for my image on the train home. I decided the story would be that the three penguins had voyaged on their boat to a new land. But when I had read the magazine and your Create Space tutorial, I wanted to include some of that, too. So that’s how we get the space penguins. I used the sky, rocks, penguins and the boat images you provided.”

THE WINNER!

“I produced this manipulated image from the supplied files on issue six’s CD. I used Photoshop CS on a 17” PowerBook, and the whole process took between two and three hours.”

Piracy Penguins (top left)

Andy sent us a slightly different image to begin with, but after a few late-night emails and casual requests from us, he produced these excellent pirate penguins. Anything to do with pirates gets our vote!

To create this sneaky peak into the secret life of penguins, Dave explains how he “cut out and layered the penguins, before moving their flippers into various positions. Lighting effects were also used in addition to some other images.”
