Hello, I'm a new member with a few questions. I'm going to enter a picture in the architecture challenge and was wondering about the editing rules.

Selective color, sharpen, contrast are all ok to do, right? And I can use any of the Photoshop filters? I'm just now learning Photoshop and the terms used.
I don't want to do something to get myself disqualified. Thank you for your help.

Selective colour, contrast, and sharpen are all fine in the advanced challenges. Rules for the use of photoshop filters is where things start to get a little more complicated There should be a more experienced DPCer due to arrive on this thread to answer your questions round about...*Taps Watch*...Now.

hi Pixy. Welcome to DPC! We have two rules sets here, one is basic, and one is advanced. The architecture III challenge is Advanced editing rules. These rules are linked from the challenge and also under the challenge menu above. Please give a read to those rules.

As for changes to your photo for advanced, what you need to remember is that in advanced editing its pretty much any photoshop tools you want to use so long as you don't overfilter or overapply them so the finished image is so radically different from the original, or where you have used cloning, burning, dodging, etc, to move, remove or create major elements of your photo. I hope that helps!

If you are still unclear, do your edits, record your steps and then contact Site Council with both a copy of your original and your finished product and we'll let you know if you've violated the "major elements" rule as this is the rule that causes the most problems for people in advanced editing.

Also remember that your photo must be taken by you with a digital camera during the dates specified in the challenge! good luck!

Thank you both for the help. The Photoshop filter (lighting effect) was the only thing I was going to try..

Just be sure you're not creating major elements with the lighting (generally a light application of these sorts of filters are just fine!)
