    CONTEST HAS ENDED

    Get ready to unleash your inner ghoul this October with Sinister Shots, our spine-tingling photo manipulation and creative compositing contest! To celebrate the season of spooky fun, we're giving everyone a free license of Boris FX Optics for the entire month of October. Use Optics as a plugin in Adobe Photoshop or as a standalone application to craft your most eerie, chilling, and downright sinister photo creations, then share them on Instagram with the hashtags #SinisterShots and #BorisFX for a chance to win incredible prizes, including an Intuos tablet donated by our friends at Wacom.

    No one likes starting from scratch! That's why everyone who enters will receive 12 free high-quality reference images, generously donated by TrueRef, to help kickstart your creation. While you're welcome to use these images, you're also free to use your own photos or any images you have the proper rights to.

    Whether you're new to Optics or a seasoned pro, this is your chance to showcase your skills, connect with other artists, and join the growing Boris FX community. We’ll be selecting weekly winners, with a grand prize winner crowned on Halloween.

    Jump in, get creative, and show the world what you can create!
