I have just submitted my photo for the "Breaking New Ground" challenge. Now I would like to ask SC if what I did to my image is legal under the basic rules.
The editing in question is the use of Transform to Rotate my image on a colored background. I used Ctrl-A to select the entire image. Then I rotated it and cropped it.
My image needed to be rotated but that caused my image to become smaller than I wanted it to be. So I cropped it so that it includes part of the background in one corner of the image and the colors of my photo match the background color I used.
Is this legal? I've included a sample to get an idea of what I did. The colors match on my entry photo.
Or would this fall under the "Additionally, the use of any type of selection tool is prohibited except to select a non-feathered, non-anti-aliased rectangular area for cropping."?

was it that you increased your canvas size or that you rotated and had an odd shaped image, so used your canvas to fill in the gap?
Both of those are legal in my opinion in basic. If it was something else, please PM me your steps in more detail. I will also raise this thread with the rest of the SC.

Martin,
I agree with frisca, your selection/rotation is definitely legal, and as for the corner, it can be regarded as a strange kind of border. Since the color of the "border" matches the corner of the image, it is invisible, which in this case works to your advantage. This certainly would not work for a wide variety of images.

Borders: It is suggested that if you decide to use a border, you should only use one or two solid colors around the outside of your photo. However, alternative borders are allowed, as long as they do not contain any text, clip art, photographs, or other artwork.
It may fall under this. It misses Layers rule. Expand the canvas 1/16 of an inch around the image and the corner will become part of the border.
I'm not a lawyer. This is a guess.

This is the case, I merely rotated it, uncovering the background portion of the image. Then cropped the image including the background portion of the image.
Good for me!!!!! I have quite a few images to choose from, but liked the way this one turned out the best.
Thanks Frisca and Kirbic for your response, and please let me know if that opinion changes!! (=
Martin

| I think this was always legal, even under the original rules. I did these Rotation Experiments to see what could be done within the rules. |

Damn, General, that's DEVIOUS... jejeje� My hat's off to you for creating a legal shape-other-than-rectangular in basic...
Not sure I LIKE it, but that's a whole 'nuther issue...
Robt.
