Attention - Important
1. Do not post directly into a contest or challenge thread.
2. Send all links via PM to Rey "Mantarey" Sta. Ana. He will assign Alpha-numeric Codes for each entry so no one will know who sent them in and will be the one to upload your entry into the proper thread.
4. Comments are not allowed while the contest or challenge is active unless permitted by the Forum Admin.
Requirements
Your submission must be:
• taken with a digital camera that records EXIF data.
• a JPEG (.jpg) file sized to 1024X768
• taken anytime (or anywhere if contest is open to all locations)
• taken and post-processed by you only, please.
You must:
• create your entry from a single capture.
• ensure that your camera date and time are correctly set to your home time zone before shooting your entry. If the date recorded in your original image file is not within the specified challenge dates, your entry will be disqualified with no exceptions.
• retain your original, unedited file (from the camera) for inspection when deemed necessary
You may:
• Sharpen, crop, rotate and resize your entry.
• 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 may be applied uniformly to the entire image, or locally, but they must not be used in such a way that their use becomes a feature. No “effects” filters (unless within camera) may be applied to your image, with the exception of Noise and Gaussian Blur.
• Globally saturate, de-saturate or change the colors of your entry, but no selections are allowed.
• use only Adjustment Layers (or their equivalent). An Adjustment Layer is a special type of layer containing no image data that lets you experiment with color and tonal adjustments without permanently modifying the pixels. Adjustment Layers must be applied in Normal mode.
• add a border to the outside edge of your entry. Your border must be distinct and clearly recognizable as a border.
• use RAW conversion software as long as the changes are made globally to a single file on one layer and do not create new features or effects in the process.
• Remove your entry at anytime, but you have to replace it within 24 Hours.
