I was reading through an old phoyography magazine and saw a review of a program called veridata. This program can check if digital images have been idited in anyway and if they have it will highlight the edited area.
I thought a program like this could help to find out if people have cheated with their entry. You can find out more about it from this website //www.signumtech.com/template3.asp?pageID=4&prodID=7 |

Even if we completely ignore the substantial extra work involved in systematically checking all of the entries to each challenge, and we assume this program would work effectively (even on images that have been scaled down in size), 1000 bucks is a pretty heavy price for verifying images in a contest that has no prizes and already has a system for disqualification in place that works pretty effectively. I'd rather see DPC's money going elsewhere.

Agree with what wingy said.
Once i made some minor changes to a picture taken with my old camera, meant for submission, to get rid of a few annoying pixels. However, in my heart's of heart, i just couldn't see fit to submit something that was violating the rules and didn't submit that one. Presume most people feel the same.
Am really not worried about people 'cheating'. Except for the rule that the pictures must be taken in a specified time frame, i find most of these rules somewhat debatable anyway. Cheating sounds like an awfully big word, particularly for contests that don't generate any real prizes. |
