Photoshop Tennis

I keep going back to this site, thinking that I want to find someone to play with. Then I remember that I don’t have internet access at home, and how difficult it would be to play until I do. I suppose I could use my work computer to play, since it does happen to have Photoshop on it. I wouldn’t be able to put all my concentration into it though, I suppose.

The basic premise of Photoshop tennis is simple: One player emails a photoshop document to the other containing a single layer. Each player progressively adds a layer until the match is over, either by time, withdrawal or mutual consent. The official matches have some really amazing examples. That level of design is one that I wish I could compete with. Alas, I must find a partner to practice with, first. I’ll ask Iain, and when he tells me he’s too busy, I’ll hope and pray that someone out there with Photoshop is as creative and interested as I am in playing a few matches of Photoshop Tennis, even if it is at an amateur level.

    If I get photoshop, I would like to play at a sub amatuer level with you, I need to brush up on my skills anyways.

  3. Gosh this is fun. Zoe, do you already have Photoshop? I’ll totally play a match against you. Heck. I’ll play two matches at once, you you guys are up to it. Just email me if you’re interested and we’ll work out the details.

  5. Well, Iain’s run into some competition here at work (actual work), and may not be able to play for at least a while. If you’d like to pick up in Match 3, just grab my volley and use it as the first layer. Whichever of the two of you gets the second volley posted first gets to continue the match. Zoe, click here for the rest of the instructions.When you’ve got your response done, save it as a .jpg with file name in the format “ppxxxxyy.jpg” (ie: pp000302.jpg for your first reply), and upload it by logging into Moveable Type, selecting “Ping Pong” and hitting Upload File, and Embedded Image. The Title of the entry should be in the format “Match x Volley y”, the category should be the match number, and the Excerpt should be a brief description of your response (less than one line). If you need more help, just call me or email me.

  7. Fine, fine. Iain finally posted a reply. Zoe, I’ll play against you when this match is done. I think we’ll use a page with proportions relative to a montior, and a width less than 550px. Go ahead and start on a service for the next match, Zoe. We’ll start as early as 00:00:01, 2/1/02, if you like.
