After being DQ'ed and having my 1st place ripped from me like a rattle from a baby, I am wanting to get the rules sport on for the next challenge.
I know you can use only Adjustment layers, but can I do anything I want with this / these layers?
All it mentions on the rules page is "Layers may not be used to apply a prohibited effect to an image" But it doesn't go into what effect is prohibited.

You can make adjustments, such as sharpen, brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, levels, curves... but you may not apply filters, such as polarize, solarize, posterize, watercolour, etc. If you have a specific effect you are wondering about, don't hesitate to ask a site council member or admin.

Now I am I confused, does this include lens' (i.e. polarize) and in camera effects (i.e. solarize)?

| The prohibited effects would be stuff that is done on the computer, in camera manipulation is allowed. (e.g. filters (incl. polarizers), add-on lenses, etc) |

Yep, anything in-camera is allowed to be done... in the camera.

So what's the difference? This subject cracks me up. Especially on a digital photography site that is more art focused then photo-journalistic.
Do you have any idea what straight prints of Ansel Adams images would of looked like without spot editing?
A major part of photography is the darkroom. With out it, an image is only half what it could be. To many times people get caught up in semantics rather then focusing on the final product.

| Any basic trick a first year photography student can do in the dark room should be allowed. Dodge, burn and spot editing a hot pixel should be a basic inalienable right. We hold these truths to be self-evident... |

Please go back and read over the hundreds of comments in probably dozens of previous threads on this subject.
Editing rules may or may not change in the future, but rest assured the subject has been thoroughly explored. Some specific challenges do have extra editing rules applied/restrictions lifted. In the meantime, shoot the best you can and have fun! |

Couldn't agree more. Like having the FA Cup but without letting the ball touch your left foot.
For some people, they are skilled in photoshop moreso than they are behind a camera. And for them, not being able to edit an image is quite a big thing! Going back to another thread, this woudl also allow those dudes with cheap automatics to play with the boys (and girls) with manual controls and thus even it up a bit more in the creative department.
I am new so don't know how many challenges have an open rule theme, but I am hoping it's at least 25-40%.
Otherwise it should be called PASChallenge.
point and shoot
