This may sound strange. I'm looking for advice on a submission for "bubbles". I shot an image that I'm happy with and I've submitted it. As usual I have no idea how well the image will score but I get the feeling people may think that it has been spot editted and quite possibly my score will suffer for it. Since this is a basic editting challenge ... well y'know. Ok so maybe I have too much time on my hands but I am curious whether you can validate images before they are submitted!

usually you can pm a SC member and they will tell you what to do from there.

| Not really before the voting starts, since you can then change your image after it's validated, however, when voting starts, just click on the button for validation and submit your original. dosn't usually take long for a validation note. |

You can send the image to Site Council members for an opinion, but we can't "officially" validate it before the voting starts (someone could susbstitute another shot after we validated it). Your best bet is to request an Admin Note immediately after the voting starts (click on your own image and scroll to the bottom for a link). |

I was wondering about something similar to this and was wondering if I can submit an image (even outside the challenge) to see if the technique used is allowed under the rules.
My camera (olympus C5050) can take what I guess could be considered a double exposure. You take two 1/2 screen pictures and it merges them into one, all inside the camera. I can only really see a use for this like if you were shooting for ebay you could put two different views in one image, but have had ideas about past challenges.
It appears to make one exif file so I can't decide if it would be legal or not. I will try and take one this weekend if SC wants an example.

If it does the combining in-camera and spits out a single jpg file, it's legal.

So.... If i were to (hypothetically) hack my camera so that it would take panorama shots and merge them in camera, that's legal....
But if I do it the normal way and put them through PS, I'm a cheater?
Really, what's the difference? It's all software whether in or out of the camera. Pro's use x-pan 35mm cameras, merge then on an enlarger, and thats good. Bud I use two shots, merge them in PS and thats bad... ???
I'm not going to break the rules, but I wouldn't mind changing them. I'd say that you should be able to apply any effect or filter that goes on before the camera in post process too. What's the difference in a Graduated ND filter and a gradient? Why can people use an Infra-red filter but you can't solarize or anything post process (at least in open challenges)? Fill flash but no flood light?
I'd be especially keen to change the rules to allow the merging of panoramas, as this is a standard process in 35mm photography, and the only real digital equivalent to it is to merge them in photoshop.
Either that, or remove the ability for others to add those same effects "in-camera", but I guess you can't really police that can you?
Thanks for your consideration.
