One thing, one the subject of remembering what steps you took to edit something, is that Photoshop can automatically save a log of the editing steps you've taken. I've had this on for about a month now, and the text file is really freaking long but it doesn't take up any space at all. Just search for the file name of the shot you edited and you've got EVERYTHING you did to it right there.

I can't remember off the top of my head right now where this is in the program but it's pretty easy to find in the help file.

Thank you, I will definitely look into that for my next submission. I'm not getting DQ'd again. They are gonna have every single detail of the post-processing a photo took.

You were not DQ because you forgot the steps you took you were DQ because your photo was edited outside the Basic Rules.

I think it is pretty poor taste to still deny that and then to gloat about the traffic your blog got, really sad state of affairs.

That's your opinion on my photo. Noone is able to prove I spot editted the photo beyond a shadow of a doubt. I AM able to produce a very close aproximation in 4-5 steps of the submitted photo with a solid white background, as were others using my posted steps. Why would I have started this thread, if I were guilty?

I will not be called a cheat and I sure am not going to be called a liar by some judgemental know-it-all.

And we're not particularly fond of being called judgemental know-it-alls by someone who still can't explain the anomalies in the shot. Nobody disputes the fact that a totally white background could have been accomplished with your original. That has never been the issue.

You have still not provided an explanation and editing steps that we can reproduce that would explain the "chopped" effect we can easily see in your submission.

Please either give us some detailed steps that we can replicate that will produce the exact result that you submitted, or please let this drop and be done with it.

Yes, it's edited. I played with the original you posted myself - those hard lines are not there no matter what you do. NO matter what you do - the lines just simply aren't there under any level adjustment, contrast, brightness, hue shift or other.

It is clear to anyone who's played with your file that the entry was spot edited. Just move past it - it happens to everyone. Breathe, close thread, be done, move on. And keep submitting.

I was over it. You're the one that opened that wound back up by saying that I acted in poor taste by acting like I was innocent and then gloating at my blog traffic.

I was just trying to find the possitive that came out of my DQ'd submission and to thank the kind poster that offered hints on how to cover my butt next time.

And once again, you might want to check your facts... I did not say that.

For future reference:

In photoshop you can save your editing steps to a text file by:

By default, history log data about each session is saved as metadata embedded in the image file. You can specify where the history log data is saved and the level of detail contained in the history log.
Choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > General (Mac OS).

Choose "detail" in the options at the bottom. It saves every freaking touch of the mouse...

Let it rest. Like in the game of cricket, the umpire is so right you can not even give him 'the look'. In this case I must side with the SC, they bend over backwards to assist and accommodate. We have to rely on their integrity and after this tread I do so even more willingly than before. Good work SC, nice to see how you do your stuff.

I didn't know we were playing cricket, I thought this was baseball. You mean I can't throw a bat at the umpire... lol, darn.
