| This may have been answered elsewhere but can someone explain the editing to me (basic editing allowed on DPC entries) in terms of Paint Shop Pro? I have PSP 8. I noticed that things in the rules (editing rules/guidelines) all refer to Photoshop but that doesn't help me. Thanks. |

As long as you don't dodge/burn or clone anything out, or generally do anything that selectively alters pixels, you're fine in basic editing, no matter the program. Note that adding gradients would be considered selective, as the application is not uniform across the entire picture.

In other words....it is like....
....you can adjust the contrast, color balance or any other variable to the WHOLE PHOTO...you just can't do it to ONE PART of the photo...

I'm with PSP too and staying there because I've been using it since v5 and we are familiar with each other.
A really good guideline and tool that it took me a while to find is "Adjustment Layers" They apply to the whole image and they are non-destructive (no animals, children or pixels are harmed). You can try millions of variations and always just return to the original by turning the layers off.
Just remember to take your camera image and immediately save it as a .psp. Re-saving a jpeg degrades the image each time it is saved by re-compressing that which is already compressed. A psp file doesn't do that.
