In the landscape challenge, it appears that it would be legal to take two or three (or more) photographs and stitch them together into a single panoramic image:
You May: combine multiple photographs to produce your entry. All additional photographs must be taken by you after the challenge is announced with a digital camera that records EXIF data.
Since that is legal, it seems a tryptich should be legal as well, where the only difference is a thin border between the three images instead of using a program to stitch them together seamlessly. However, this rule suggests that you can't:
You may: add a border to the outside edge of your entry.
Since the rule says you can add it to the outside, it seems that a tryptich would violate the rule since the "entry" would have borders "inside" the image.
So my question is: are tryptichs (or diptychs, etc.) legal in expert editing? If the answer is no, as I suspect, then I'd like to suggest that the rules be modified to permit them.

I'd say that a diptych, tryptich, or collage of an unlimited number of images are within the rules. I don't understand why it is specified that you may use a border. There is nothing that prohibits adding solid lines of color (border or not) anywhere on the photo.
Specifying that you may add a border seems redundant and has brought about confusion here.
My final answer: there is nothing that says that you may not use a border anywhere in the image that you want to. |

Oh, but there is.
You Man Not:
"add graphics or clip art images to your entry or its border during editing."

But thats obvious. Has nothing todo with creating a border or adding photos to the border.
It only specifies adding clipart or graphics which would not originate from a camera there for not a phogotgraph. Its the same for all rules and there to remind.
Someone might try to add say a panda bear drawing to the corner of an image from china like a postcard type thing. That would be DQ'd. |

But, in the case of a Trypitichs, it could be seen as a graphic on a single image... ;-)
Just saying, it could be unclear here. |

Check 4th place in this expert editing challenge, it was validated, uses 3 photos with borders between them.

Yes, it does! I'd forgotten about that entry. Thanks, Karen.
I'm going to suggest to SC that this part of the expert rule set could be clarified, perhaps through an addition to the "You mays" or a modification of the "border rule." |

That could be viewed as three images, each with a border, combined to make a triptych.

So if you border around separate shots that's okay, but bordering over part of a shot to split it into separate shots probably isn't?

I think that that would be OK, too. One could, after all, achieve the same effect by cropping the photo into three, adding borders and recombining.

| Expert Editing lets you do pretty much any of the things mentioned here. You can cut up, border, or combine pictures, as long as all the source images were taken during the designated time period. |
