    Jesus Christ Drakkie, get over yourself already! You bring more problems than solutions to this thread / forum.

    Problem is YOU CAUSED THESE DEBATES!

    and any constructive solution is tainted by the fact that most members do not wish for you to be able to participate in these contests!

    As much as it pains me to say it, this is about you.....but it's not. so stay out. Stop acting like a victim when you knew full well what you were doing.

    Not with the comp, just a part of its rules. And 47% of the votants are satisfied.

    Just wondering, since digital cameras had more and more functions.

    What if they started to include easy-to-use point and click 'editing' within the camera's UI, so that RAW images can be somehow edited in those high end DSLRs (which is actually something illegal in UCP comp).

    I know my assumption is hypothetically impossible, but just WHAT IF ? (i.e changing a blue sky to a sunset sky)

    Would that be illegal as well? How would you control then?

    What the hell kind of crack have you been smoking now? CS2 cost me $285 since I'm a student.

    Is all the software on your computer? Didn't you ever download a song?
    Yes and yes. But stealing a $700 computer program and a $0.50 song are two very very different things.

    The Pentax K10D can process RAW shots and convert them to JPEGs in camera, though I'm not sure what's the extent of the adjustments you can make.

    US prices are so much lower. check this link. CS3 will cost me atleast 2000 dollars if I would buy it. AFAIK Adobe sells no student licenses that would be valid for my studies.

    Not really stealing is stealing. I wonder when police will come at your door and they'll sue you

    I doubt it, arrest is a more likely occurence.

    $3000? You're an idiot. Even here, Great Britain, where prices are absolutely ballyhoo, you pay $1000 max for a legitimate copy of Photoshop. Or, heaven forbid, you can pay $120 here for a copy of Photoshop Elements, which will do all the small edits you so badly want. So you don't need the big one, right?

    Or... were you planning to cheat?!?!?!! OMGZZ!! NO!.... yeah, whatever.

    I still doubt yours is legal. You've always been a slimy, conniving kind of fellow not ready to own up to his mistakes.

    And anyway- the debate is over, and the rules have stayed the same. Just as predicted.

    I do. I use it quite often for school, you'd be surprised about the amount of it, which requires things which elements won't do... Also ones I don't enter I take out things like reflections and play around a bit. I also use it for one of my many jobs, which is creating flyers for parties of many befriended DJ's, among which quite succesful ones some regional Dutchies might know.

    It is. However i won't send anyone my serial number...

    Against the majority of the votes !! Most people that voted against editing barely enter anyway !! Can't you all except defeat ? Should this poll have been started in the first place if the outcome wouldn't matter anyway ?

    Honestly I find it pretty sad that members that act to be better then anyone else, can't even take their loss.

    Are you blind or do you have problems to read properly? Sam pointed out that the rules will stay the way they are. So the limited amount of editing will remain allowed as it has always been. Now who exactly has been 'defeated'? Maybe the people that voted to have all editing allowed, all three of them. Hmmm and one of those happens to be you. So who exactly is having problems accepting 'defeat'?
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    and if people were allowed to edit as much as they want, we probably wouldn't enter at all

    Wow, sucks for you. Straight from Adobe it's only like $800. There are third party websites that you can order from if you are just a student in general, if you want I can go look up where I got mine from.


    You seem to have very loose definitions of what is right and what is wrong.
