If I have a lens hood on my super wide lens and it causes a vingette, would that be legal or not legal in Basic?? Cause you are not adding anything??
Does that make sense? |

| Legal, since it came out of the camera that way. |

| agree that this would be legal, since it was captured that way. But be wary of the mistaken voters who may vote an image lower thinking that the vignette was added illegally. |

| Well, that is my line of thinking too, but usually I am wrong! |

A naturally-occuring vignette caused by a lens hood, filters, or any other physical device used at the time the image is captured is legal for all challenges.
It is not legal in Basic to later add/remove a vignette using software.
If you want a vignette effect and don't have a lens hood, an inexpensive way might be to use a cardboard tube (as from paper towels) cut to the appropriate length. |

What about creating a vignette using the raw conversion in Photoshop, where you can increase the appearance of natural vignettes, and increase their radius?
The changes made in raw conversion apply to the whole image, which i thought made it permissable in basic.... plus, it only enhances a vignette that is already there. |

Definitely not legal. Someone was DQed just a week or so ago for doing that, quite innocently.

Wait a minute, if the DQ in question was this one  then it looks like it was due to adding a vignette with spot editing tools, not enhancing an existing vignette with a global tool. SO, on what basis would  VitaminB's example be a DQ, or did I just find the wrong example?

Right, that makes sense to me for the above picture, but does that apply to VitaminB's example where an already existing natural vignette is being enhanced by a global change (so no new image area)? After all, many global changes could alter a natural vignette whether you want them to or not...
