My image was DQ'd
The image was processed in Picasa (crop, auto contrast, sharpen, glow, (de)saturate) and the reason for DQ is:
"The use of effects filters (excluding glow) is not permitted in Basic Editing. Please review the challenge submission rules."
I have replied to the DQ requesting further clarification but have not received a reply, to my knowledge I have kept with the basic editing rules, if this is not the case then all I ask is a little advise such that I don't repeat the mistake in the future.
This is a similar process to other images that I have submitted in the past so if anyone can point out where I went wrong such that I can learn and move on it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance :)

My guess is they typoed on your reason and it should say "The use of effects filters (including Glow) is not permitted."
From the rules:
You may not:
use filters or stand-alone utilities designed to preserve image integrity (such as Neat Image, Unsharp Mask, Dust & Scratches, and color correction tools). These filters must be applied uniformly to the entire image, and must not be used in such a way that their use becomes a feature. No "effects" filters may be applied to your image, with the exception of Noise and Gaussian Blur.
But confirmation from them will be the best bet.

| Yep, should read (including glow). Remember that the only effects filters that are legal under Basic are those specifically mentioned in the rules, namely gaussian blur and noise. |

Okies - many thanks
I has assumed (wrongly) that Picasa was basically safe for the basic rule set (with the exception of the obvious spot/area filters) the only thing that I was a little unsure about was glow but when the reason stated that glow was ok then confusion set in.
Sadly, I think that I may have used glow in some previous entries :(
At least it won't happen in the future :)
