| Is it legal to superimpose images in photoshop? Like not doing any spot-editting, but taking two pictures, laying them directly on top of eachother, and lowering the opacity of the top layer in photoshop |

| But can you do it internally in your camera, as in multiple exposure and it still be legal on DPC? |

If done in-camera then it IS legal.

| DARN!!! I didn't realize it was leagal if done In-Camera. I have a much better pic for the "Time" challenge if I had know this. Oh well...maybe next time. |

Anything that is done inside the camera is legal IF it is done inside the camera. PS or other editing program equivilents that produce the same/a similar effect are NOT legal.

| Just to stick in another Rules Question. Regarding the 150k size limit...how in the heck do you get your image to 150 without shrinking it down to a near Thumbnail size? I got lucky with this last challenge in that when I down sized it and reduced the .jpg compression to "Good" it actually gave a useful effect. But otherwise, what the best method to reduce the files size without making the image too small? |

Are you able to do multiple exposures with your camera??? Most of us cannot - we've had a forum discussion about this before. I am interested to know which digital cameras can do this.

Yes, the 602 can do multiple exposures. One of these days I'll actually get round to trying it! |

| Yes, it's a pretty cool feature of the S602. Maybe when I get home I'll post an example of one. |

| Again, sorry to be asking a different rules question in this thread, but does anyone have any suggestions on reducing image size withouth makeing the picture too small? |

There are several threads each month that deal with this. If we assume you are using PS or PSP, then you resize the TIFF (or whatever) to 640x480 (or whatever) and THEN save as a JPG using the optimizer to get the file size to 150K. I believe in PS this is a "save for web" feature. In PSP, just "save as..." and follow the directions to use the JPEG optimizer.
Hope this helps.

| Actually, I am using PS. I have tried doing exactly what you said eccpet for the "Optimize for Web" part. I'll try this next time. Thanks!!! |

That is VERY cool! Hope it's OK I reduced the picture display here to save space... |

Sure! I almost entered that as my emotion shot, but didn't think it had enough emotion in it. I dunno, what'd you have given it? :-D

I think the single exposure in the lower-left would have done OK, but I think the combo shot would have left people confused about the emotion being pertrayed (confusion?), and too caught up in the technical aspect (legal or not?).
I'd predict what I call an inverted bell curve (or the "love-it/hate-it" curve), with more 1/2/3 and 7/8/9 scores than usual, and fewer 4/5/6 scores than usual.
Since you can now edit the picture freely, I'd be interested in seeing it with the upper-right figure ghosted (faded back) some, so it becomes more an accessory than competitive element to the main figure. |

For those people without super cameras, you can also LEGALLY get the same effect without a multiple exposure.
See the deatils field in my photo for an explanation.
Growth Spurt!

The Olympus C-720 will also do 2-in-1 shots like this one, but not multiple full exposures. I am possibly going to enter a 2 in 1 for the symmetry, so it's good to know that it's legal!!
