I keep seeing links to various photoshop contest threads at [Fark.com](http://Fark.com) (example: [http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=244064](http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=244064) )

But hell if I can figure out where or how they get started! I’ve looked all over. The FArQ lists how to post your images, but not where. There is a useless bit at the lower right that says:

Upcoming Photoshop Contests (EST):  
07/23 12:47AM EST  
07/23 01:49AM EST  
07/23 07:10AM EST  
07/23 07:45AM EST  
07/23 01:37PM EST

But has no links or any relevant info.

So what gives? Anyone know the magical secret? This is worse than the Harry Potter DVD disc 2!

On the main site, amungst the other news stories, you will find the odd heading with the “Photoshop” graphic on the left.

Like all headings, there will be the number of posts on that topics on the right.

Go in there and the ‘Original’ image is usually the first post.

From there, take and manipulate the image at will, then post it back into that same thread.

Voila!
