No.

...or Yes. :-/ I was thinking of multiple resize, which is definitely not allowed. I don't think multiple sharpening was [i]intended to be allowed, but the rules currently only specify the tool.[/i]

I've been looking for an example, but I'm pretty sure we had instances where people did sharpen more than once. By the rules, I don't see anything that prohibits doing it multiple times.

Here you go.

Actually we may need verification from SC on that.

The rules state -

#
sharpen your entry using your editing software�s �sharpen� or equivalent option. The use of customizable sharpening tools, such as Unsharp Mask, is not allowed.

It doesn't specify that you are only allowed to do it once, and yet I remember this image of

Scalvert's got DQ'ed for Sharpening more than once, although it may be the type of Sharpening he applied on the second round of Sharpening.

Have the rules changed since then?

Nope. It was DQ'd for what we call "step resizing", going down from full size to 640 in more than one step.

Here's an easy question... Is "Smart Sharpen" in CS3 allowed? (Thanks for your patience.)

scalvert said "NO", but it says that nowhere in the rules. What is the basis for that?

Step resizing would be out because you can only resize once, so they have already prevented that. But there is nothing to prevent multiple sharpens.

Hi, the rules don't say how many times you can rotate your image. It says you can rotate 90/180/270, but if I want to rotate it twice at 90 instead of once at 180 is that allowed? Does anyone know? I really need clarification on this. Also what if you rotate it 180 and then want to rotate it back by 90, the rules only specify positive numbers so is it not allowed to rotate counterclockwise? Please someone clarify!!!

If I were you, I'd play it safe and only rotate 90/180/270. Any more than that and you'll just make me dizzy anyway.

He amended his statement, agrees that is not prohibited by the rules as written.
