But, like a diptych is a composite of two images...
I'm not skilled in the Mark Wiley composites. That takes talent. :-) |

No. At least, not necessarily. I believe the intention is that you blend two or more images into a single image. |
... Like some of your more recent images for example?

Yeah, like a composite image (i.e. more than one). :) |

You can use any picture taken up to the submission deadline -- it does not have to be archival. |
thank you! |

It DID say that, until Georges poked me and said "Umm, Ermmm, Mr. Bear Sir, sorry to disturb your sleep but, errrmmm" and I leaped into action with my editing powers. |

| During this lockdown, I have less opportunity to be creative with my camera. I am glad to have this chance to do some creative editing with images that don't have to have been taken within my current isolation bubble. |

Traditionally, when a challenge is repeated, as it is in this case (hence the II naming), the description carries over. So, SOMEONE had to come up with this new, fantastical description. ??? |

Composite I (first time run)
Description:
Create a composite of two or more photos taken during the challenge period.
Composite II (current challenge)
Description:
The challenge here is to take two or more images and combine them into a single, cohesive statement. This challenge isn't meant to be about using bits 'n pieces to create fantastical images as much as it's about combining archival images in an old-schoolish sort of way.
How and why did the newly announced version get such a different, more exclusive type description from the first time it ran? The challenge suggestion for it (by  Neat) had no description requested, only an editing ruleset. |
I think it’s because Christophe won the last one with regular Extended Editing and the challenge was more about...
Just edit two images... merged together. |

I can do blending modes, yes. And then mask areas as needed? thanks |

ETA: Here is a recent use of this technique where I could put a shot of the Moon into a mostly-dark area of the underlying image -- by changing to Lighten Mode and adjusting the tones of thje Moon I could make the dark sky disappear without having to create a specific mask for the Moon.

Hmm. Yeah. Hadn't read it until now. Kind of muddy and not what I thought it was. Glad you mentioned it. |

It's basically a Mark Wiley challenge. |
Really? Mark Wiley might be more confused now that it is started. I am not entirely clear what old-school composites are. I may have to do some research. |
