Are these layers DPC legal? - DPChallenge Forums

Hey Guys,
I was just reading this tutorial of Shadows and Highlight layers, Shadows & Highlights and just wanted to make sure they are legal to use in challenges. I'm assuming they are, since it's a DPC tutorial but since there have been so many DQ's lately, just thought I'd check. They are very helpful and I'd like to use them if it's acceptable.

Thanks for the help!
Jen

No, they are DPC illegal. It uses blend modes on the layers, ie multiply and screen.

Ahhhhh, good to know. Well, at least I can use them on my personal pics so all is not lost.

Thanks Nyki! :)

However, I don't think that the "shadow & highlight" tool in Photoshop PS has the same issue, since it does not use layers and operates on the whole image. I don't think there has been an official ruling on this though.
In any case, going forward it looks like it shant matter for the Member Challenges, only for the Open ones.

I was under the impression that the rules went back to normal after the first of the year, at least that's what I got from the description of the "After Dark" challenge rules, "Normal DPC editing rules apply". Am I confused?

I read in some forums that it might be happening, but....

Anyways, better to be safe than sorry. (like I really have to worry about getting high enough to actually have to submit an original) :)

Thanks guys,
Jen

Well, I'm ass-u-me-ing that after the poll finishes up, we will be back to the December rules for Member Challenges... of course the "After Dark" challenge uses the non-edit (pre-December) rules.
