On a serious note, this comp is gonna be a tough one I feel.

Not sure i'll be able to outdo my last ISL entry.

Might have to prepare in advance and PM @bigwaverider for some tips on more advanced techniques.

You'll do awesome bud you always do.

You're right. Praying to gay jesus won't help you make it in the top 30.

My PC during the second round last year:

We need to come up with a nickname for you. I believe you are the only one to actually destroy a computer during a contest. "Arqueto the Destroyer"? Or just "The Destroyer"? This man shoops so hard that he blows up computers. He really does.

What can I do to get @Clippy banned from the competition?

I would like to unsign up @Clippy @bigwaverider

$100 via Paypal and 2lbs of day old poi.

You are #30. Hello and welcome to the comp...

Sign me up, B. I want any winnings to go to Clippy. Mahalo.

Was going to say that I don't stand a chance since I can only has gimps on penguimOS, then I went to the tutorials section (reading @bigwaverider sig above) and all Gimp tutorials are from the champ @Empty Emp, shiiiet, there goes me best excuse!

This is a land for the brave.... So I'ma gonna go out and meet GSP at the cafeteria, thanks. Will do the tutorials, learn Cantonese, pay my taxes & next time count me in! Until then, where do you guys source weird stuff to shoop on? Google Images? Public toilets? Reddit?

There are a lot of sources. Google Image is the best for images unfortunately. Try some of the more advanced features and look for Large images to shoop, or you can even set to to search for images that are "Larger than "X" megapixels. Much easier to shoop a large image and resize it later than to work on a tiny image to begin with. Learn Google's "Reverse Image Lookup." I have a small Tut in post 12 of the Turtorial Thread. This will help you find Larger images.

Youtube is a good source for videos to shoop. If you find a good one, you can use this site to download it or just google "Download Youtube videos" and 1000 more will come up http://y2mate.com/

Some of the sites that feature gifs are good for sources too.

Tks, will lookout for that tutorial as well.

Personal experience: I use firefox's console network monitor to retrieve the video's url then just download with curl or wget, these Youtube DL sites are too riddled with ads/trackers, which don't go well with a plugin that I use. (NoScript+uBlock)

 

[ib313]

Can PP use clear background .png?

It depends. Most of the time yes.

I think it's actually better than all of the new-fangled stuff for a few things because it's object oriented instead of layers... so just grab what you want and move it
. But I use Gimp for cutouts and animation.

wow looks like that may come in handy one day. i use internet download manager which captures most videos. however sometimes it misses. maybe I can use your method if need be. ty for the tip!!

I mostly use Ae for gif. It uses a video timeline but you still need your images and video to be on separate layers.

I use savido DOT net because it covers most porn sites as well as youtube, and never noticed any unusual behaviour. To extract a gif from the video I use the free software "Instagiffer" made hundreds of gifs with that.

Can you use PEDs for this contest? Will there be drug tests for applicants and if so, what and how will you test applicants for?

Just asking for a friend

As @Arqueto pointed out there is no testing. After the contestants pay me their $5 USADA testing fee I just pocket the money. It works out. Everyone pays me $5, I just say that "Yea we test for PEDs" and everyone is happy.

Fries with mayo is the best.

On another note, how'd I go from 9th place contestant to 15th?

Blame @Myrddin Wild. I asked him to move @Clippy down for me but he took the liberty of rearranging everyone.

$170 US is like 400 in Canada money

You can buy a lot of Kraft Dinners with 400 Canadian. You could feed your whole village.

These old-school shoopers who have come out the woodwork sure do talk a good game

haha.

Very nice Mac. I see you got a new AV.

Make sure your PC doesn't blow up this time.

Not sure he can control that. He hits critical Mass with his shoops.

It''s gonna be off the hook. I've actually started now... & going to put a full 8 hours per day into it from now until the last second where I do some final tweeks... in an effort to just get teh coveted burger king meal!!!

I jsut went to McDonalds site and it seems they dont sell gif codes online. however Burger King does. https://www.bk.com/crowncard

LOL without even knowing the results

Watch the fight you shoop get cancelled last minute

That's not as bad as you think. With Photoshop or AE you can swap out a head in a few clicks.

Q. AE = After Effects?

 

[Doughie99]

And hey @bigwaverider another quick question :
Historically speaking, most of the submissions tend to be single image jpg & png? Or most are animated gifs? Just curious on that.

gifs for ISL

some try other formats but usually roll in with gifs, and some will be masterpieces most likely
