Hi Tami,

This is a great topic and I expect to be both a consumer and contributor. One thing I am not sure of is where you draw the line about someone else's work. Not that I really expect that you can, but a few more hints would help. I was taken to task over one of my early postings that some long time forum members thought was too close to an existing tut.

Very few of us really invent something new. For example, my silk-screen effect sailboat was developed after reading the serigraph article in PET vol. 4 number 3. Now, my selection methods and paint bucket fills were a departure from the printed article, but I would be kidding myself and you if I said I came up with this technique all by myself.

Can you "flesh-out" how you would differentiate plagiarism from original work in this much needed topic?

Thanks,

Bob

Tami, thanks for the category. This will be much easier than a single thread.

Tami, thanks so much! This will make it so much easier. I'm always having trouble finding someone's tut! We appreciate it!

Bob, Simple enough...
Don't copy a tutorial out of say Fred Smiths book on color correcting....
Now if you have tried fred's color correcting but found that it really worked much better if you added a hue/saturation adjustment to the color balance and then dropped the oppacity to 10% and clicked your ruby slippers together twice while walking your dog then I'd say it's orginal enough to say based on a tutorial I read in Fred's book......

But no word for word copying of tutorials that you have read or seen

Most everything is based on something and that's fine but copying pasting a tutorial that you saw somewhere else it not acceptable.

Hopefully that clears things up and btw if you do have a tutorial that requires you to click your ruby slippers together while walking your dog I would like to see it as I have red shoes, walk my dogs alot and am always looking for new ways to fix bad shots

Hi Tami,

Thanks for the new topic. It will be so useful when trying to find what tut you are looking for. I know I have hunted through the forums for many hours looking for stuff I read. This will be great. Now all of our creative people can share thier hard work with all those of us who are just a wee bit PSE challeneged.

Tami - Thanks so much for setting this up. It will make life much easier, especially for us "newbies" and those who have been using PSE for awhile.
