We did not disqualify the two submissions that padded their images to fit the size requirements on this challenge, but only because we changed the rules on Tuesday. All rules in on the rules page are in full effect now, so make sure you're up to date on them. They will have a last updated date at the bottom.

Ok then. i have not even submitted my first entry, but I have to ask.
Does this mean you want all DCs set for 640X480 resolution or thereabouts? Is downsizing in PS appropriate? I saw some photos that look like double exposures, or 2 shots pasted on top of each other... is using layers in PS appropriate? So I am uncertain when borders or cropping woudl come into play and what is and is not expected. Any clarification woudl be greatly appreciated, as now i think most of my idle time will be spent between here and Worth100. :)

I guess my architecture challenge entry is guilty of this as well, simply because the picture from the camera didn't fall into a 640x480 ratio. I added, rather than cropped because I liked the whole picture that I'd taken.

well I did stretch this evening after a workout, but in this context I think I padded more than anything else. It was because at the time I couldn't work out how to crop to a fixed aspect ratio and the picture from the camera wasn't in a 4:3 ratio so it wouldn't resize easily. I've since worked out how to get photoshop to behave and do this more easily (use the rectangular selection tool (not the crop tool) and change the mode from 'normal' to fixed aspect ratio)
