Get an SC opinion but I am sure it's not allowed in Basic editing. Since you are moving pixels around, it would be like distorting an image, sort of, which I have always thought was legal in Advanced editing. But Content Aware Scaling is different enough I am skeptical it would be legal even in advanced. Get an SC opinion.

It will almost *definitely* not be allowed in Basic. In Advanced, I'm going to guess it would depend on what is removed and moved during the scaling. If the composition is visibly modified,I'm going to bet it will be ruled illegal. It is something that SC will have to rule on case-by-case for Advanced, unless they elect to disallow it entirely.

From David Pogue's column in the NY Times:

* Photoshop, as you probably know, makes the Space Shuttle dashboard look sparse. The thing has over 900 menu commands!

Product Manager John Nack is the guy who's had the guts to reveal that frightening number--and to do something about it. He recently put together the Photoshop Configurator (for Photoshop CS4 only). It's "a box of Legos--an app that lets you drag and drop all the tools and menu items in Photoshop, call actions & scripts, and add widgets (images, videos, other SWFs, etc.)" into context-sensitive, customized panels. The point is to hide the stuff you never use, and make your often-used tools easier to get to. Here's a ten-minute demo, and here's the Configurator itself.

So you're saying it's possible to re-compose a shot in post processing under advance editing? Would it be legal to re-compose a shot with other tools? Say I took a photo of a landscape but I hate the way 2 trees are positioned in it. Could I moved them to a preferred location via cut/paste or cloning under advance editing? Before I read this thread I would have said 100% no but now it seems like the door is opening to a yes. Am I wrong?

No, it is not "likely" you'l be able to "recompose" a photo in Advanced. However, *we* (SC) have not really checked-out this tool's functions and limitations.

I strongly suggest you assume it is illegal until definitively stated otherwise.
