Revisions to the 2.0 rules

[Swiss Legend]

not a bad list. this'll make the 2.0 comp (3.0?) alot mroe open, and will increase the editing from the usual massive road blur that has been seen time and time again.

I gotta ask though, no invert option? I've been itching for an "inverted shots" comp for a while.

It'll still be 2.0, and hopefully open some creativity.
Invert shots could easily be a theme for a given week, just say what filters you'd like specifically for the week. (that option would also be put under the cars,tracks,poll size options.)

I agree with the rules there. It is perfect. Not too much, and not too less.

I only think the Distort> Diffuse Glow should be allowed has the only artistic filter, since many people use it (me included), (and that you can HUE the car in another colour without being uniform in the whole image, but that is me being prick) but it is a very good list 👍

I meant to add diffuse glow, I know many people use that. That is the only one I forgot.

(and that you can HUE the car in another colour without being uniform in the whole image, but that is me being prick)

If enough people feasibly use it, then it can change.

I think that a 3.0 Competition instead of the artistic, or reviving the Photomode/Photoshop, though, 3.0 would be the deal.

ya, 3.0 should be the artistic revival. Who will run it?

you run it

we should just use all the artistic filters. like for scenic comps, the texture filters and stuff can be really useful compared to the diffuse glow filter, which just usually kills exposure and contrast.

But that is where a Free edition/3.0/artistic competition comes. Otherwise, there is almost none distinction between 2.0 and a Free Edition Rules.

2.0 Revision of the Rules - There should be more tools added to the list? Yes. Should all tools and filters be allowed? I don't think so.

I'm going to be the pain-in-the-ass guy here and say that we should stick to the old rules. I'll happily retract all those entries that were in question (the carbon fibre NSX, the Supra without wing, etc.)

I won't be doing any such things anymore, just the good ol' cleanup and blurs 👍 Hell, everybody dislikes my latest RGT RUF entry (well not totally), but I love it to death because it was all so simple. Blur filters for cleaning, a partial background blur, some dodging and some levels editting 👍

Yeah, you're right at that point.. And just to let you know: I like, no.. I love your RGT shot, because it was all so simple 👍

That is what I said the first time. I think 2.0 is good the way it is. Allowing a bit more enhancements than the PMC, while not permitting an whole 3.0/Free Edit modification.

I am not against a change, a progressive/slow change, (one or two more filters and adjustments, some more tools here and there), what I am against, is transforming 2.0 in a 3.0 (allowing all filters, adjustments and tools while making some restrictions that I really don’t see the point, seeing all the open tools and filters that can be used out there.

I have, however, a doubt.

Should the Brush tool be allowed in a context of a 2.0? I mean, it adds something external in the picture, it doesn’t change it, like blurs and other tools (that can distort and/or change the image colour information.).

Also, I know that the line tool and other geometric figures add something “external” to the image. Couldn’t they be restricted in order just to use the line tool for car lines rework, like the clone stamp restriction to just remove the watermark and the Hue restriction (just hueing the whole image, and not parts of it (what, I think it is a bit of waste, who is going to hue the whole picture?)). And thus, if you permit all tools, I think that tools that add something "external" to the image should be restricted to some minor thing (like the brush tool).

Now that I am understanding more and less some of the things, I think, that the 2.0 to be different from a Free Edition, we should not use tools that add something to the image, and yes, tools that distort (blurs) or change the information of it. So, allowing every tool, may not be the best option, has to keep everything even and not changing the geometry of the picture. ( I can re-brush an whole new car, or change the wing width with the brush tool).

right, I have enough trouble remembering to run what I already run.
Perhaps LdS would like to run the 3.0/artistic comp again Just an 💡.

Well, now you say to stick to the old rules . j/k
No need to retract them, what's done is done.
The cleanup on the shot and the blur were amazing, the wing however wasnt.

Yeah, you're right at that point.. And just to let you know: I like, no.. I love your RGT shot, because it was all so simple 👍

Thanks for your thoughts S-Line.

I thought it was fine also, but the boundaries needed to be reworked. I still think you should run the artistic again. 👍

Good point about the brush tool. Appropriate changes will be made.
Thanks to all of you who put in your two cents.
To those who didnt, don't complain
