I just wanted to confirm what is and what is not allowed on two particular items.

We CAN use texture overlays - yes?

Can you use special brushes - say glitter or snowflakes? (I'm guessing "no" but wanted to check)

I dunno from what I can see, I think anything goes as long as a bit of it was once a photo!

Thanks Juliet. That would rule out brushes then... :)

I dunno, check out the last expert editing challenge... Some pretty wild stuff.

overlays are allowed. Brushes? I'd put in a ticket with SC.

Oh and the rule:
You may:
use images that do not meet the source or date requirements as textures in your entry if they function specifically as textures and not to circumvent other rules.

Thanks for this info Craig. I kept reading the rules but missed this one. That helps on the textures at least :)

Edit: ok I saw a DQ'd photo - the very last one in the referenced FS - that kind of answers the brush question.

Edit again: and then I found this: Ex. Ed. DQ discussion]

Interesting read...

No brushes are not, in the sense that they are already an image of their own. A soft blurring one is ok, but for example brushes for leaves, birds, faces, tombstones, etc are not allowed, as they are actually images that are more than textures and were not taken by you. Does that make sense? :~P

It makes very good sense now, thanks!

Brushes have been used in expert editing before I remember Bear adding some birds in the sky. Was this rule changed?

Matt

This is the photo I'm referencing and it even ribboned, so you know it went through validation. The birds were hand drawn in.

My understanding is, what I did won't be allowed anymore. I'm not sure they "changed" the rule per se (it's been a while), but my recollection is they gave me the benefit of the doubt since it was the first challenge under expert editing rules. I could be wrong, but that's what I vaguely remember. I've certainly never tried to anything like that since :-)
