July Monthly Theme July Monthly Theme is Photoshop Filters. I'd like to know if it means only PS own filters or any plug-in collection we can think of (Topaz, Nik, Alien Skin, etc.). Also it would be nice to know what kind of a filter(s) was used for every MT image. Thank you.

Good question, Natasha - I wondered the same thing.

I think a 3rd party plug-in filter like NIK, Topaz, Flexify, etc qualify as a Photoshop filter. Unclear if BP will clarify this. If not, I'll assume they are ok for theme.

Also, I don't view HDR or photo stitching as filters, even though they are part of Photoshop. I suppose it's a gray area.

Monnie and Ken, thank you for responding. I hope BP will clarify this. If a 3rd party plug-in filters can be used, why bother with this MT? Everything can be put in the Digital Darkroom. But then again, it's good when you can choose from the 2 categories.

Natasha, I like "Photoshop Filters" as a theme, especially if folks say which filters they use, and/or how they used them...an educational thing. If BP limits the theme to just those filters that come out of the box with Photoshop, then the judges will pass over a lot of the theme entries.

They never clarify ...they always leave it up to our own interpretation :-) This one should be fun as I use lots of NIK and Flaming Pear filters...Glad we can resubmit stuff!

I was wondering the same thing! Unless BP clarifies otherwise, I'm going to assume plug-ins are okay. Happy filtering everyone! :)

I am also with all of you and understand this month's theme to mean that any filters (Photoshop supplied or other Company plug-ins) are fine as long as they are used in Photoshop. There are other filters which are stand-alone kind and don't require photoshop. Jill, allow me to disagree with your statement "They never clarify", I believe BP have responded to quiet a few times specially recently in the last few months. And I am hoping that someone will clear the fog in this case too. Happy shooting all. UB.

Hi Everyone, A fine discussion here, and for everyone who thought plug-ins would be OK for this month's theme, you are correct :) In fact, the July theme has just been updated to this: Photoshop Filters and Plug-ins Thanks for your interest in the contest, and have fun "filtering"!!
