Is it legal to desaturate individual colours or small ranges of colours, for example desaturating the range bright yellow - yellow/orange? That would be almost as good as making a selection of the carrot.

perhaps you should refrain from discussing the specific entry, since I assume you think the DQ is undeserved and you'd like the photo reinstated.

I don't know if that can/will happen or not, but if it does, I don't think you should talk about it anymore.

my orange challenge entry is up for possible DQ also. No major editing done to it, just a rotate, spome sharpening, & resizing. Someone earlier told me to take it as a compliment. I am trying to do that. How long does it take before you know if it has been DQ'd or not?

That would be legal if you could accomplish that but I couldn't figure out the right colors to desaturate and not desaturate the carrot. Believe me...I tried. :(

Shame about that photo, I really liked it.

I tried to do the same with my entry but there was too much orange in the background. If I desaturated everything other than orange it looked dicky due to the then half coloured background.

I've since done a selective (by area) desaturation on the whole photo, leaving only the orange areas untouched, and that will become a DPC Prints entry for me as I prefer it to my actual challenge entry.

Yes, there ARE was to do selective desaturation without selecting certain areas.

Not to mention that you can do it with your set-up as well! Don't automatically assume that something is done illegally.

Remember to "vote as if the rule was not broken" and send a DQ request if you think it was, but dont penalize the photo incase it wasn't.

Question on that for a Site Council member, do you guys read the photographer's notes before you ask them for proof of their photo?

Yes, we do. In some cases the notes give us enough information to rule on a request, in others we still need or want to request proof. We encourage everyone to make extensive use of the photographer notes area; in addition to helping us rule on DQ requests it can also help an interested fellow photographer learn from your work!

Thanks! Then I shouldn't have to worry as much about getting a DQ request this week (which I have been expecting). I documented all the steps in my notes and they should clear anything up. ^_^

How do you view a photographer's notes before the voting is over, or is this not allowed?
 03/27/2004 09:26:18 AM · #35
Only Site Council can review photographers notes before the challenge is over.

And then only after it has been requested for DQ.

True... but I left that part out because we can request DQ on a photo ourselves just like anyone else.

I think Karmat only meant we can't see the details on any photograph until it has been requested for DQ by anyone voting, whether they be SC or not. ;)

Sorry, I should have made that clearer. I just didn't want it to look like we could view the comments while we were voting, etc.

so i desaturated the whole image of reds (brick buildings) and blue (manhattan bridge).

but i'd still get a dq since the pile of naners is a piece of artwork?


03/27/2004 01:43:51 PM · #41
No, because you include a lot of other elements in your photo, like the bridge and the buildings.

One of the things the SC uses to see if it "qualifies" under the rule is whether or not it is a literal representation. i.e., if there is nothing else in the picture except the "art" (which is defined very loosely), and it is not obviously lit and composed in a creative fashion, then it is possible that it will be DQ'd under that rule.

One of the biggest reasons for the rule is prevent people from abusing the editing rules. For example, somebody could take a picture of, say a monkey, and then edit it up the wazoo (to remove the distracting fence or whatever), and then take a picture of their screen and submit it to a "Basic Editing" challenge. Without the "literal representation of existing art" rule, this would be totally legal.

It stops people submitting the Mona Lisa to the Portrait challenge too :)

Yes. That would be considered a "literal representation of existing art" and would get DQ'd.
