 B3ta Issue 14 - 19 OCT 2001 - "Photoshop This Issue"
 -------------------------------------------------
 : BERT IS EVIL / THE "PHOTOSHOP THIS" TREND
   .. you have the tools for creating chaos  ..
   You can't have missed the Bert is Evil / Bin Laden
   images that floated around both the Internet and
   the mainstream press last week.
   This was a good example of the "Photoshop This"
   trend breaking out of the net ghetto - and reaching
   the international press.
 
   Photoshop this? I.e. A web community repeatedly
   editing the same photo for comic / satiric effect.
   This trend started several years ago with people
   faking nudes of celebrities - and now it has
   mutated into something vastly more .. interesting.
   And so, B3ta gives you it's favourite three image
   manipulation sites of all time.
 -------------------------------------------------
 : TOP THREE "PHOTOSHOP THIS" SITES
   .. from Bin Laden to Jamie Oliver ...
   : DIE BIN LADEN
     Pretty much every manipulated Bin Laden
     image you could possibly think of. And then
     a few more.

   : JAMIE OLIVER - FAT TONGUE
  
     166 images of Jamie Oliver - a sometime
     despised UK Chef - photoshopped into various
     film posters. Fantastic.

   : FILEPILE - GENERAL IMAGE MAYHEM
     Filepile is a community site where users can
     exchange MP3s, movies & images.
     In the pictures section, people upload all
     sorts of oddness - and the other users muck
     them about.
     Look for files called "remix" - these
     should contain versions of other images.
     (BTW: You have to create a free account and
     log in to use the site. Sorry.)

 : TINY TENNIS LAUNCHED
   .. Play Tennis in your Windows system tray
 
   Ian Beveridge from Dynofoo helps design the
   smallest computer games in the world - so tiny
   that you can play some of them in the Windows
   system tray.
   He has just got in contact to say he's finished
   their latest project, Tiny Tennis.
   He says, "It's actually too tiny to play.
   However, as tiny digital art, it succeeds."
   He's right. It's Art.
