I am confused. How does this negative thing work? Do I take a photo and take it to negative using my photoediting program? I don't use Photoshop. My program has a function called "NEGATIVE". When I do this, I get the effect of a negative of a 35mm film.
Is this allowed? It is not spot editing. Basically what I did is change the colour tone and brightness and then the NEGATIVE option. No Spot editing - Everything was done to the whole image.

hi,
copy-paste from challenge details : "A negative image can be achieved through post-processing."

| Yes, this is what you are expected to do. The trick is to find a composition which will look good after you do this. |

I use Microsoft Digital Image Suite which has the function "negative". I've also used some of the editing steps you have. I believe these to be legal and have submitted my entry. Good luck with yours!

LMAO - Well said. I seem to have exactly that same problem with my entries - Apparently they are not good enough OR the are moraly offending.
Thanx for the help guys - Mine is in.

Yes, Invert is the same. You can also use the Curves dialog and reverse the slope of the curve; the advantage of this is that you don't have to leave it a straight line, but can adjust the contrast range as well, and you can put it on an adjustment layer to revise it later. |
