About battleshops
A subreddit for people to share, discuss, and critique original photoshop work.
Rules for Submissions:
I. Original work only.
If you used image manipulation software on a photo, then post it.
Do not post images you found, that your brother made, or non-manipulated images.
Please limit your submissions to five a day, or consider posting a large body of work in an album rather than one image at a time.
X-Posting is accepted as long as it is your original work. A link to the original post inside the comments section is recommended.
II. Titles
Be creative, tell a story, set a scene.
From X to Y is also allowed.
Avoid generic or cliché titles ("This Guy", "Check this out", etc).
III. Image content
Only submit direct image links hosted on a reliable image host.
You can submit your work and the original image(s) you manipulated, side-by-side, or in an album.
Or:
Post a comment with a link to your post of the photoshop elsewhere, the images you used to make it, original subreddit and user mentions encouraged if applicable, a tutorial, or any other info we might appreciate.
NSFW tags must be used generously.
Submissions that do not follow the rules will be removed.
Commenting
Photoshops are encouraged, feel free to continue the battle in the comments.
You can post your own photoshop of the original work or one made from the photoshop.
Other comments are also welcome, but please stay civil.
Please report inappropriate content to the mods, and send us a message letting us know why it was reported.
