how about curves ? are they allowed ? they better be, because i use them on every single picture i create/edit.

[spi-ti-tout]

What do you mean by curves?

[CHEESE-TACULAR]

does this mean that the other comp is for "pure" photos?

• Each photographer cannot vote for himself, they must vote for the others.so if i was entered, and didnt vote for anybody, what would happen?

That's settled then. Anybody else?

[Cotterik]

this may turn into a competition of photoshop skill rather than photography. also i think the comp title should be 'photo editing competition' or closer to that.

Which is why I've restricted it to minor adjustments only - nothing you need "skill" for. And "Photo editing" is plain chopping, which isn't really what this is completely about.

I'm sorry, Niko and Pinin, yours are not allowed. You can make it either whole b&w or Sepia, otherwise it'll just become another chopping comp. Esperante, yours is fine.

[2ndclasscitizen]

its hardly chopping, Canon cameras let you do that when you take the shot

Oh, do they? In that case, it would be allowed.

Yeah, mate, sorry, but I don't get that. I removed colour in parts of my photo just like Niko did.
I don't think this will turn into another chop comp if the modifications are limited to filters and contras/saturation/hue/brightness.

This competition was started because many were complaining that in the Photography competition a lot of it was upto camera advantage with inbuilt features and such. So this one was started to give an equal advantage to all (for example, maybe even a photo from a phone cam can win if filtered right) and it seems like a good idea. I said Niko's and Pinin's was not allowed because the whole photo was b&w except for the subject, which I was not sure was a feature on cameras. However, 2CC has already mentioned that it is, so they are eligible to qualify.

[Niko_Fx]

Mine wasn't a camera feature, so I guess I'm out.

[spi-ti-tout]

You're not.

I'll say it again.
Some cameras can adjust hue/saturation/colour/brightness and have red/blue/green/boogly/black/sepia etc filters and some don't. This competition was started to give an advantage to all, especially if you can't do any of those features. 2CC said that feature CAN BE DONE on a Canon camera, which means it's a disadvantage to who can't do it, which means that even if you do it digitally on PhotoShop or any other program you still QUALIFY TO BE IN THE COMP.

[Pinin]

Mine was done in photoshop so I guess I'm out too. I'd allow this, but it's not up to me.

[spi-ti-tout]

*sigh...*

[Esperante]

No, mate, you're fine. This comp is for photoshop users.

[spi-ti-tout]

Some people were complaining of little time. Where are they now?

[Niko_Fx]

You're not.

BTW I personally think this is an exellent idea for a comp.

[spi-ti-tout]

Lax, you forgot to add all the details. Please look at the rules again.

Very nice pic though.

[Rebirth of Xar]

should the originals be included to present a b4 and after?

[spi-ti-tout]

To add the original photo is completely on you, though I say it'd make it a bit more interesting.
