sashwilko Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I don't get this weeks SOTW. After hitting the randomise button on the plugin are we allowed to modify the sliders or do we just just click OK and leave everything on default ?

If you can keep clicking until you find a Effect you like, and if you can change the Sliders (and other controls), then it's not so random anymore.

Pixey Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I was going to post about not moving the sliders too. I've never used this particular Plugin before, but found that the 'sliders' were never at their default positions, so assumed the sliders were being manipulated by the Plugin itself.

sashwilko Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Thanks for clearing it up. Seems like an odd theme. I would have thought the best theme would be an "any plugin" you like one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to say 'no'. You're adding enhancements to the image, unlike doughty, who simply flipped her image and placed a one-pixel border around it. Yes, we needed some clarifications but you're making this too hard...think 'SIMPLE'.

I looked at the entries from back then and most did the white, red and blue blocks. The style can be expanded and I was hoping for some more 'original' pieces. Reference @Pixey 's entry. I think it's great and very original, but still conforms to the style. ?

Oceana Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 SOTW#194 Christian Symbolism ? When did religion enter a competition? I am Shinto faith and would never think of using my (or anyone's) faith as a topic for a competition, would Islam or Judaism be accepted as comp themes ? I think not! I don't really care what the host or the person who thought of the topic thinks, Symbolism of any kind is religion. This comp is now seriously running out of ideas and to use religion as a topic is really low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I've got to disagree. I think symbolism is an appropriate topic (though I personally wouldn't have confined the topic by adding "Christian"). If a religious symbol is treated with respect, and especially if it has meaning to the author, then what is wrong with using this as a competition theme? I for one would like to see some of the symbols used by religions unknown to me. I'd be interested in Shinto symbols for example. 2 hours ago, Oceana said: Symbolism of any kind is religion. Uh. No it isn't. ) < that's a symbol - no one worships that. 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxster4 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) The theme of this week's comp has been changed to 'Religious Symbolism'. This way everyone can participate if they choose. I saw the topic as a celebration of one's beliefs, not a desecration. I'm sorry if anyone was offended.
