I have an entry for this one. In basic editing,is it ok to use the dodge tool to correct a minor blemish? It's a very small shadow. I used the dodge tool at 2%. Then use the overlay mode for high pass sharpening? |

Ithink the dodge tool is verboten, its spot editing, thats my take on it but check with SC to make sure

No, no dodging or burning in basic editing; no blending modes either (so no overlay mode for high pass sharpening.) |

Dodge and burn tools and blend modes are illegal in Basic Editing challenges.

Thanks folks. I guess I'll just leave the shadow in. I think I'm being overly picky anyway. I suppose unsharp mask is allowed? And BW conversions?

no dodge/clone individual selections allowed- but you can use things on entire image like adjustment layers or their equivalent (curves) / convert to B&W - perhaps one of those options will help with your troublesome shadow? :-)

I have a bad feeling about mine - do you think that means it will turn out "good"? |

I'm uncertain about mine it can go either way - either ppl will really get it or they wont...and it'll tank and i'll get a ribbon anyway -- a beautiful brown one... I'm betting on the brown - that way i'll be happy with whatever i get pft... I really wish some cloning/digital spot editing was allowed -- curse the basic editing rulset... curse it!

I love the basic editing rule as even that is beyond my pp abilities ;-)
As for my photo I don't expect it to go either way - that is, I believe it's a solid 4.5 to 5 (not good enough to score high and not controversial/interesting enough to score low ie boring!
