Maybe it's something Langdon can look into putting up??

Good idea! - In fact... I'm going to sit here and wait until this feature gets added....



There is a favorites button which is a great way to say you like a photo.

No, it's a "Sam Hill Crane" - as in "What in Sam Hill just flew across my pic?!!" *tongue-sticking-out face*

I know of one from a few years back where a number of large cranes and other elements were removed from a photo to make it more pleasing. I've seen the original and the elements are very apparent in the thumbnail.. Passed validation. Yet again inconsistency from SC.


I'm looking at the thumbnail right now. No cranes are visible.

Look more closely - it's fairly obvious...

It looks like Manic found the one in your Workshop, and the other one seems to be there as well. It may well be that the Fifth-place Auto-request doesn't "know" if you've already uploaded an original earlier.


Ok thanks hope you can deal with it through the workshop entry bc I wont be accesing a comp until maybe Sunday, I dont really need this while I am away, thanks, and cant really do much on my phone,it's way to hard with all those little bitty screens.

It's on my entry as well now.

Thanks.

Hey,I'm away on vacation ATm, I thought this might happen, and bc I am 5th now, I sent them my original before I left, and now I get a message I need to submit my original when they should already have it. So I PM salvert and Neil, if they see this, please read your PM's, thankfully I put it in my workshop before I left so I gave them the image id number, and all should be ok, I hope.

Anyway all should be legal with what I did, If i get DQ bc I am away that would be sour.

I hope they read their Pm's, bc I can't send it through the ticket way, bc I am on a internet kiosk, didnt bring my own comp, with me, and too hard to do on my phone.

it was advanced editing, isnt that what the basic and minimal rulesets are supposedly for?

sc are volunteers they arent paid remember


Can I "like" this?

On a serious note... that's exactly right. It's easier to fix things in photo editing... harder to set it up and get it "right" from the camera.

Amazing how small the feature is in this photo and it gets DQed but when we had the big discussion about removing the people from the photo it was considered by the SC as a minor distraction...... I'll never understand the inconsistent the rulings are.

Matt

I also would bet as a percentage that the wires or fishing string taken out of some of the photos that have been validated in the past were more than what was removed here.

The long process comes in when people need to recover data off of an SD card because they rotated the image in widows picture viewer and ruined the EXIF data..

For the first round of messages it's a few days at least, then another few days for the person to figure out how to do data recovery, then another few days for SC to get back to doing the validation, and if there was a DQ, about six months for Langdon to reinstate the ribbon and shift things around..
