Just wondering, due to the recent release of Photoshop CS5 and its new "content-aware fill" option that automatically fill sin unwanted image details such as people int he background, leaves, etc.
Will this be allowed in basic or advanced editing? Seems like a lot more people will be using it, as it is now part of photoshop CS5.

This is an easy one...
From the advanced rules:
"You may not use ANY editing tool to move, remove or duplicate any element of your photograph that would change a typical viewer̢۪s description of the photograph (aside from color or crop), even if the tool is otherwise legal, and regardless of whether you intended the change when the photograph was taken." |

I've seen an interpretation that as long as the item removed is not considered a "major element of the photo", then this type of edit is allowed under Advanced. After all, versions of Photoshop since CS3 have done a decent job with the "spot healing" tool...they've just now started adding the moniker "content aware". Even the GIMP has had a similar tool for ages called "resynthesizer" or some such.

That would be this part of the rules that I quoted:

That's what would determine the legality of it. The OP specified "fill in unwanted people". It would matter just how far he goes with this. |

Advanced Editing does not legislate based on the tool used, but on the result obtained. Content-aware fill is just a very sophisticated cloning tool. It doesn't do anything we couldn't laboriously do by hand. Its legality will depend entirely on what's being erased, and on what's being added in its place, just as the use of the clone tool is governed now.
