Are you allowed to dodge and burn in basic editing?

You can dodge the crowds and burn the credit card when you actually buy that stuff in the window.

Otherwise no.

Simple answer to this one - NO!

Edit: Beaten to it by Matt - and I preferred his answer, too!

I did read the rules... but couldn't decipher whether I could dodge and burn or not...

And tried looking in the challenge archives.

Thanks.

Tis true, anything done has to be done to the image as a whole. So you can do things like adjust brightness, contrast, but not for just certain sections of the image.

But the converse isn't necessarily true -- i.e. if you do it to the image as a whole, then it's legal in basic. For instance, you can use only normal blend modes in Basic...
