I quote Deb "P.S. Deb's method for minimal editing rules:
1) Copy file (actually, I may have forgotten this part but I have the original RAW file!)"

If she didn't copy the JPG before working on it, the RAW ain't gonna save her....

R.


Right. And I meant that she also said this a few posts later. :) Anyway, no harm done. Just thought that maybe we could avoid going around this particular circle again, since Deb already cleared it up.

My camera can be set to shoot both RAW and jpeg. That's the way I always have it set as it is. The shot I entered is indeed the jpeg.

You smote yourself? Awww man. That's hardcore. :)

*hug* Poor baby. :)

Wow - so many possibilities... Can't decide what to say...

I'll just let Shannon pick the response he likes least:
1. Cheaters never prosper
2. Nobody is above the law
3. If you were smart, you'd have paid yourself off to overlook it
4. I think you should have to do time with General Population
5. I think you have to share a cell with Martha Stewart (it's probably not a good thing)
6. What a doofus
7. Forfeit your key to the SC Lounge for a month
8. Drinks are on Shannon!
9. According to Dante, there is a special level in hell for people who make this sort of mistake
10. HAAAAAHAHAAAAHAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHHA! (just quoting your wife & kids)

All tongue-in-cheek of course. :) Frankly I disagree that Minimal editing rules are easiest to follow - quite the contrary, IMO. And this would essentially be a non-event were it not for your own public self-flogging and open invitation to ridicule you, for which we are all grateful. ;-)

Can't wait to see how many DQ's we end up with on an ongoing basis with this ruleset. Should make for some interesting forum activity and a shortage of popcorn. :)

Yeah, that's him. He is above the law. And Nobody does it better. And Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee. And Nobody knows the trouble I've seen.

Entering the JPEG is not the same as retaining the JPEG for validation. If she overwrote the JPEG like her comment implied she might have, she can't validate because the RAW isn't valid.

I hope she's writing more stories for the Team Suck Headquarters thread, because I love those. :)

Not to mention the lashes he's taking in another thread and they are not using wet noodles. :P

To quote my Grandmother, "It's ok to talk to yourself. It's even ok to answer, but when you start to argue with yourself and lose, you're in BIG trouble."

Maybe if you offer yourself a bribe you'll change your mind! ;)

Awww man. I feel for you Shannon :(

With an image being DQed is it taken out of the mix of photos to be voted for or is it just taken out of the challenge standings at the end?

It's gone from voting, but lives on as a pie in the face.

Don't worry, Shannon, its not forever. Online communities have short memories. They'll have completely forgotten about it.. in about 10 years. :)

Hey dude, really no need at all for embarrassment... just claim you "flaked out!"
01/30/2007 09:32:32 PM · #121
Probably sooner in my case due to alzheimers. ;)

So what if you where DQed, it happens to the best of us. It's not like you tried to cheat, ala hiding info. It's an honest mistake. Don't think anyone thinks lower of you or your work. This DQ feeling shall pass soon enough.

MUAHAHAHAHAH-HAAAA!
