Dear contestants, this are the rules for submission of your artwork.

First of all, once you are happy with the result you obtained, go to Image> Image size. Set Width 800 pixel if your artwork is horizontal. Set height 800 pixel if your artwork is vertical.

Then go to File> Save for web and devices. Click the mode 2-up on the top, then select JPEG as saving format on the right hand side. Set either quality preset High, or choose 60% (they are exactly the same thing).

If you are familiar with ICC color profiles, I would encourage you to assign Apple RGB and embed the profile in the file

The first editon of Face Off -Ace of Photoshop has been won by Mr. Nazri! In the semifinal, Nazri created a funny composition of a bear waiting on an armchair to cross the street. He used a lot of adjustment layers and blending modes. The outline of the shapes maybe wasn’t the most accurate, but we cannot blame Nazri, since he had just 20 minutes to finish his art piece!
In the final stage Nazri was facing Nicky, who tried to impress the jury and the audience with a 100% digital paint. Bad for him, the judges seem didn’t appreciate the fact he haven’t used any of the provided pictures. Good for Nazri, who with a “cut and blend work” won by 7 votes!
Check out Nazri’s smile while is receiving the first prize from my hands. Isn’t he the Happiest Man in Singapore! Of course he is… He’s receving a prize of about 4000$ worth! An Adobe Master Collection. Thanks indeed Adobe Singapore for supporting the event.
During the event was officially launched the Creative Crew as official Singapore User Group for Photoshop and After Effects. Mr. Hong Eng Khim won the lucky draw. The prize was the outstanding book Layers, by Matt Kloskowski.

During the event there was a training session about the most advanced new capabilities in Photosop CS3. Click the following link to download the presentation.
