[dotdotdot]

This thread is just for people to post their favorite Photoshopped images and people can comment on them.

I made this image for the XBox 360 Developer Kit thread:

It doesn't have to be the best in terms of OMG I wanna do that! But in terms of "thats pretty funny!"

[tech4all]

If you were trying to make it look like Windows, I think it could be done better. I don't think Microsoft would copy Apple that much. Maybe make the icons more "Windows-like". Just changing the logo doesn't do it justice, IMO.

What's up with that funny little drop shadow/shape behind the "About this Mac" window?

Hope that doesn't sound to harsh, just trying to challenge ya a bit ;)

Well, the XBox kit doesn't run on Windows, does it? Isn't that the point?

BTW, I didn't know ye olde XBox kit used "Duale 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4" either! :eek: ;) :D

Hmmm...I haven't done any photoshop playing in a while....

[Phat_Pat]

A photoshop thread is such a good idea. I'll try and find some images... although i got to get back to work.... :p

I have no idea what the X Box kit is, so I'm not sure. I thought he was trying to show Longhorn looking like OS X. Guess I was wrong :o

Ahhh *decides to ruin joke by explaining it*

The XBox runs on a PowerPC. Because of this, the developer kits needed to, also. Because it was the most expedient way to achieve this, IBM uses Powermac G5s as XBox development kits for MS. That's why its funny. :)

See this, for instance: http://www.hardmac.com/niouzcontenu.php?date=2005-04-20#3929

Edit: if I need to go even one step further, the XBox is MS' fairly successful gaming console. The XBox 2 is actively under development atm, and all this applies to it. They both, AFAIK, use PowerPC-derived cores, provided by IBM.

[tech4all]

Ok so I guess I totally miss understood dotdotdot's original concept. Sorry :)

[Phat_Pat]

BTW what was the reason for (poorly) cuting the kit out of the orignal pic?

Notice the carpet under tha handle and the not straight line next to the body. (its on all the other pics of it too.)

Well, the XBox kit doesn't run on Windows, does it? Isn't that the point?I don't know for sure but don't these Xbox dev kits use a special version of Windows NT?

Actually the xbox runs on a 733 MHz Intel P3.

This has got to be one of the best thread ideas in a while. Such a good way to fritter away time as I procrastinate over yet another assignment... I wish I could use Photoshop, I'm such a pathetic Mac user. :o

you guys are both right in a way ... the original xbox runs on the 733-MHZ Intel P3 and the new xBox 360 runs on a PPC

I didn't misunderstand anything ....from my original post, you said best photoshop of macrumors and that asian kid is way better than a quick logo change .... the logo change isn't even that clever.

Here is one I did for MacRumours around the time we were all speculating about G5 PowerMacs.

[dhracer88]

Here's a gender bender ad I helped with. It was inspired by Victoria's Secret's new bra advertisement...even though this one is for underwear. The first one was the final, but the second image that wasn't cleaned up at all was the test/first try. The "SAW" reference in the test ad is like AXE body spray...AXE, SAW, get it? :) Not the most creative ad...text is slightly blurry b/c I don't want to hurt my fellow 56kers.

As far as I know, that's real. The X-Box 2 development kit really does ship on a PowerMac G5, because the X-Box 2 uses a PPC-based chip.

Nothing much - he's just standing there. That is the original picture of Buzz Aldrin on the moon. Essentially, I just threw my face in there and added a lens flare.

You can get the original image
here (http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/downloads/index.html). On that page, click on Nasa Desktop images and then select humans in space. Download the wallpaper and off you go.

You will notice that you will have to remove the text that is over the image as well... Good use of the clone stamping tool is in order ;)
