I have a photo I want to enter into the June Free Study, however I want to do a lot of editing to it. I'm not a member yet, just a registered user, but if this is allowed I will join and submit it. My procces is as follows:
-Filtered in Neat Image
PHOTOSHOP
-Duplicate Background, named Layer1
-Duplicate Background, named Layer2
-Delete Background
-Adjust Levels on Layer2
-Adjust Brightness/Contrast on Layer2
-Adjust Levels on Layer1
-Add Gradient Layer Mask to Layer1
-Flatten Image
-Crop
-Adjust Brightness/Contrast
-Clone Brush
-Resize
-Sharpen
-Save for Web
I know this is way beyond the basic editing rules but I didn't see anything in the advanced rules that would DQ it. If there is, please let me know what it is and maybe I can come up with another way of doing it. If you have any questions about what I did in any step let me know. I'll see if I can answer it clearly.
Thanks for any help!
