AgencyUK Photoshop Wars: Bristol Balloon Fiesta

AUK News
Bristol Balloon Fiesta

Last week saw the Bristol Balloon Fiesta return to the South West for its 37th year. That morning Paul, our Technical Lead, received an image from someone who was working in an office overlooking Bristol and the view was quite special. Paul decided to share the image around AgencyUK office.

Creative Director Zane replied “Contrast needs tweaking … paint out the window reflections … photoshop in a Red Arrows display team … and then you’ve got yourself a PICTURE.”

A reply from Chris, developer at AgencyUK, sparked a Photoshop battle between all departments (albeit heavily dominated by the Creative team) wherein each person tried to make the image a little more… interesting. Below, in chronological order, is the original image and the replies to the email. We invite you to have a look and see the hilarity that ensued.
