Would that not constitute an illegal level of photo editing ? ;)

Mmmmmm - that's an interesting question! All you are doing is erasing a faffing great dust spot (in essence) and returning the edited pic to a closer copy of the original. This is allowed :D However, if a copyright sig is cloned by a separate part of the pic which is substantially different to the image underneath the sig, then that would constitute a material variation and not be allowed. I think the way round this is to block out any sig with a black rectangle although how we deal with watermarks is another matter... :roll:

Just a gentle reminder peeps that the comp closes on Sunday at midnight (28th). There's some superb entries so far but it's always worth submitting as you never know :D

Al, your Rules state

* Only very light editing is allowed. Adjustment of Levels, Colour Correction, Contrast, Sharpening and Cropping is allowed.

With respect, which of the five editing methods includes cloning :?

The very first one - light editing - although only if applied to copyright is already on the image. Interpretation of the 'rules' is fairly loose - like this one for example:

* Go out and take a photo, fitting in the theme and rules.

Judging by the exif info on some of the submissions I've had in the past year it's 2006 :shock: It's almost impossible to detect cloning when used liberally and the literal application of too many rules defeats the purpose of the comp.

Have fun is what I say - just don't mess your image up with too much editing...

Contrast has just been submitted.

The standard this month is exceptional. It proves everybody is thinking about the topic- some more seriously than others :lol:
