    Arrow Rule Changes for the Photo Contest

    Being it a new year, I thought it's bout time for some change around here in the photo comps.
    New proposed rules:
    Levels, Curves, Colour Balance, Brightness/Contrast, Hue/Saturation, cropping, or anything else capable in the development process or with filters and common special lenses are allowed to use in Photoshop or other image editing softwares.

    Time limit either eliminated or put to 6 months.

    What you y'all think?

    I agree with the expansion of the time period. Allowing certain things in photoshop could open the floodgates though...

    Perhaps just cropping and brightness and contrast in PS allowed, and extend or remove the time limit?

    Well, the one question I've had and haven't asked is, what if I shoot in RAW and not JPEG?

    for the time, against the PS'ing, as it basically eliminates the need for photographic skill what-so-ever

    i think RAW should be fine,

    raw provides less distortion when resizing, correct lani?

    Not really.
    If you guys thinks something should be added or taken out specificly(sp?) for the photshop part, say it.

    well, not everybody has photoshop in the first place (at least officially). Microsoft Office has a picture manager programme which I use from time to time, which has far less options. May be that could be allowed to be used to the full?

    Not everyone has windows
    And it also doesn't say just photoshop, other programs can be used.

    I think a general photography is good without photoshop, and 6 month limit force people to take new pictures.
