I'm in ... though it took a few attempts to get what I was after, including in-camera settings adustments and framing since cropping is off-limits.

Shot --> Loaded to hard drive --> opened in CS3 --> Sharpen applied --> resize to 640px wide (720 max option did nothing to enhance my image) --> Sharpen once more --> convert to sRGB since I use Adobe RGB in-camera --> save as.

Man would I like to have even a few of the Basic Editing allowances on this one. Oh well.

i went out to shoot, but didnt know raw wasnt allowed, so i was shooting raw+jpegBASIC, instead of jpeg fine, i really dont want to use the low quality one but too bad...

Well, changed my entry again! Hopefully I've made the right choice.

I didn't even see it was 720 pix max. (Goes off to look at another "version" of a minimal editing entry. That's sorta an oxymoron...)

I am in! Learned a few things
1) I have a lot of sensor dust!
2) Trying to set the white balance by kelvin to get that perfect feel=very difficult. And you SHOULD take off your sunglasses with the nice rose tint or you will have very odd color shifted jpegs. :-}
3) Shooting with the intention to not crop, made me focus more on what I was doing and now I have lots of images I like. Although most will now have to go through normal PP to fix color shifts. See number 2. :)

For no editing my file is huge, save at 96% to get it under 200 kb.

I certainly did! I had to take image quality all the way down to 66 to stay under 200kb. :-O

Yep! Had to reduce jpg quality to 82 to come under 200kb.

Oh you got that right, cheese-man! My SPs require copious editing and some elfin magic!

Nah, you'd be lovely without the editing, but I know that you don't do any SP's without it.

You know eug...I've always pronounced your name like the beginning of "Eugene", but ever since some said it in one of these threads, I'm reading it as "oog". :)

I used 171k with one more percentage higher putting it over the 200k limit. But I see I am not the closest.

This should be fun...I am expecting a validation request no later than 6 a.m. US EST. ;)

I had to go with my second choice. I use the windows fax/picture viewer to look through photos, and I accidently rotated the photo I wanted to use, which I believe makes it invalid for challenges. Usually this isn't a problem since I use the raw file which is fine, but not on this challenge. oops!

I think that it alterates the file only when the viewer tells you it will.

I thought it always did tell you, and I thought I turned off the warning awhile ago, I could be wrong but I think I will play it safe.
