So, I decided to make a news thread too, just to keep everybody updated.
So, I apoligize for not being able to open more shows as of yet! I have a really nasty cold, and even just typing this is tiring me out. Luckily, they've now got me on some good meds, so hopefully in a day or two I'll be feeling better and can create those shows I promised! <3

LOL I know right?^^
So. I judged my herding, hunting, and agility, and opened new trials for those plus a disc dog trial :3 My dogz pose show is nearly full(one more entry once Eklund swaps out her pic for one without a water mark :3), but no one has entered my catz pose show or the wildz/fantasy shows...so XD My mouse hunting trial also has no entries. I am keeping my shutzhund trial open for another week to let people get new pics, exc.
ENTER :3

I perfer to use watermarks, after so many instances of my dogz being stolen. We had a rash of members back in like... 2006 or 2007.. who were stealing poses and I'm a paranoid little booger. I shall go swap that out right now <<

I understand, but I havnt seen any instances of this like, the whole time I've been in the community(nearly 3 years now), so I think you're safe Especially at a nice small community such as PSC Thank you! I shall judge tomorrow ~Vanilla

We had a rash of polish (I think they were) folks on Gibbonslake (GKC) forum and they were taking all the poses they could find and saving them as blurry JPGs and tried to pass them off as their own >.- It makes me very paranoid. I swapped the entry a requested, and left the watermarked for comparison at the judge's descretion.
I'd kind of hope that someone who's been in the community over a decade, has done DFA, PKC, VPA and posed/shown hundreds of dogz would be trusted <<; Considering I'm twice as old as some of ya'll XD

Thank you so much for exchanging them! How old are you? Not many people in the PC community are 13 anymore XD

I'm 26 <<
I know PKC is real touchy about photos, I'm just paranoid as I had several dogz stolen. I even had poses taken off the PKC site, so the display images that I used to have up -coughs- 5 -coughs- years ago were all watermarked.
The extent of my "editing" involves switching the file from an indexed colour to RGB in photoshop, and slapping the watermark over the behind with a new layer of text XD It won't let me add text as an index so I go to RGB XD
I do edit pictures to make icons and such, adding eyeshine and playing with the dodge/burn tools for fur highlights and such (which I still have not mastered DX) and I did take a puppy pose for a display graphic on my site and removed the three pixels of his other eye cause the angle was cute XD I wouldn't dream of entering an edited like that photo though XD

I think it's a case of all of us who've been playing a /decade/ or so -raises hand <<;- are /still/ playing XD I've never played a game as long as petz before. I think the closest thing is Pokemon, but I started it after petz haha.
Speaking of, time for me to get the huskies fed and groomed for the day ~
