i am done with my fine arts challenge entry but i am unsure whether my pp steps are legal for advance editing

i did the ff:
*duplicate layer then apply topaz details 2 for entire image
*image-transform-free transform then made the imade square-ish.

where in the site can i pre-submit entries to sc??

I would be careful with any free transform tool. The advanced editing rules state:

"You may not use distortions to create new effects or radically alter objects."

If you are using Free Transform to turn a rectangular image more squat, more squarish, you're in potential violation for sure. We can mess with that stuff up to a point, but go too far and it's gonna be a DQ. I use free transform a lot to *exaggerate* perspective, oddly, but not so much that it's really changing the gestalt of the image. It's definitely not a problem if you use it to square up ("correct") verticals and horizontals in the image.

Didn't know about that. Thanks for the tip I wasn't expecting!
