Do you like puzzles?
Different tools gave different results :\ I changed the hosting of the image and it seems it works now on some commons tools. I'm still testing with different tools. Sorry, I would have swear I tested it after uploading the picture :/

I think I did everything I could in GIMP except for check the colors for hex value.
Comment has been collapsed.
You could work with decimal values too.. substracting 128 to each value.
You could also create another layer, filling it with a #808080 colour, and substract it to the original picture. That way you get the original values
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I'm glad my method was correct, it seems the online colour checker I was using gave me the wrong hex values.

Found that colorful thing, but I'm too tired to even go on... will continue tomorrow.

Been away from a computer for several days and didn't even get to see the hints...
Looks like I missed a good puzzle :(

Well, after seeing some of the comments I think I took a completely wrong path, so that were not the tools fault.
Yet, I'll try a few other things, thanks.

I'm lost...Dorothy only had to deal with a yellow road, too many colors and I'm colorblind, argh!
I think right now I'm trying to solve the wrong thing...will probably wait for a hint.
Comment has been collapsed.
There are different types of colorblind, but I have been researching and you should have zero problems to solve the puzzle ^^
Don't forget to vote!

Voted.
6 tabs open for this puzzle...
I'm starting to hate you, guess that's a good thing in this case ;)

Bump for going to try to solve it after I get back home on Saturday/Sunday.

Hm... Stuck on trying to find what the hint refers to. I think I know, but none of what the hint refers to really fits any logical answer that I can find. Or perhaps it's a weird formatted answer, but I expected to find some clear text.

When the contest is over I'm going to post a screenshot of what I can see in that file and perhaps you can guide me to the end. There's only 2 offsets that have a size big enough to hide a message of 138 characters, and one can be ruled out because there'd be no room for the info that actually needs to go there. Either I'm missing a last step, or the tools are not suited for the task (even after the fix), or I'm going at it the wrong way.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think the word 'offset' is confusing some people... I should have used other more normal word :/

Bee Yew Em Pea for solved! Thanks for the fun and giveaway!

Another 24 hours passed, but now there is one entry, so I don't want to give more hints today.
If you are not enjoying and you are still trying just to see for what game the giveaway is, I will help you. It is not difficult to guess the game I am giving away, but I will write it below, in spoiler text, so if you want you can see it and stop trying to solve the puzzle. Or you can ignore it and keep trying, it is up to you. I know a lot of you have it already and I don't want people to be mad at me.
The game is: The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut (please don't disclose it even if I have written it here)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh noes, I do have that. :/
Doesn't matter if I give up or not, I'm clueless anyway, :P
I'll just have to win the 1st GA :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Do you have it? :O I thought you don't because it doesn't appear in your Steam library :/
Comment has been collapsed.
It's in my inventory at the moment. Don't want to steal someone elses chance.
Still hoping to "solve" the ITH...if I ever understand it :P

Que quiere decir lo de offset? no puedo traducirlo D:
(What does offset mean? I can't translate it D:)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offset: Offset (computer science), the distance to (displacement of) an element within a data object.
(Offset (informática), la distancia o desplazamiento de un elemento dentro de un conjunto de datos)
18 hours left, only 3 solvers :/ What is the problem?
Comment has been collapsed.
My problem is I have no idea what I'm looking for :P
I had an idea, it got me to...uhm...46 somethingorothers...wait...wait a second...
Hmm, that makes sense...hmm, I might be smarter than I think...back to the puzzle! (deleted my idea, though i was grasping for straws...)
:D

Don't know where/what the question is. Tried doing a bunch of stuff with the pictures but can't seem to find anything helpful with them. Don't understand the hints. Checked source code for hidden links or text but couldn't find any. Checked your SteamGifts and Steam profiles, didn't find anything relevant. Just can't seem to find a spot from which to proceed to the next step.
Dunno why I'm bothering anywho, since I already have both of the games on offer. I guess at this point I'm sticking with it just to finally see what the solution is when the timer runs out so I can hopefully understand why I just can't figure out what I'm missing.

Imagine you are in a video game, one of those video games that have puzzles on it. You enter a big room and a npc told you to find the key for the treasure room. You look around and you see a table, 3 chairs, a statue, some pictures on the walls, a pair of plants, and a pink elephant in the middle of the room.
Well, another hint added, I didn't think it was necessary, but it seems it is.

Since the hint refers to doing something I was already doing, I'm afraid it doesn't help me too much. Tried a couple more things and still didn't get anywhere.
Ah well, I give. I'll just sit back and wait for the counter to run out. Hopefully I'm not too dumb to understand the answer when it finally comes out.

Important:
I have uploaded the picture to another hosting due to accuracy problems. This means that surely you had the right idea for the puzzle but it didn't work before. If that is the case, try again. I am still checking if the new hosting is 100% accurate. SpaceClick commented something about that before but I just played it down (I think that is the phrase in English). And now MBcoder asked me to upload the picture to another hosting because his company blocks imgur, I checked it before and the results were different and I was like O.o
Sorry... You still have 10 hours. Cheer up!
EDIT: For now, tested with 3 offline tools and 2 online tools. Beware of online tools that apply compression to the images
EDIT: It seems imgur worked nice, and color selector from developer tools is what failed. So it was a false alarm... xd

Bump for solved! I enjoyed the chalenge, very intuitive but a teensy bit tedious havng to rely only on the default application...
Already got the game, though the callenge was nice (again). Took me at least half an hour :)

I have just changed it to work with more tools :/ Still testing, sorry for the inconveniences :S

PS. Would've been impossible without the first two hints.
