Can someone help explain to me if this would allow converting to sepia?

Thanks.

The way I read it, no. To me, the following rule under You May Not clears this up:

You may not adjust hue or saturation, adjust or eliminate individual color channels, or use the Channel Mixer or any equivalent tool, except for the most basic black and white conversion as allowed above.

If you take the photo with your camera on a sepia setting so it's that way out of the camera it's legal, but otherwise no...it's not legal to convert to sepia.

I have a shot that I can enter. Problem is I didn't shoot it RAW + JPG simultaneously. Can I take my RAW image and convert it in camera to a JPG and submit that?

EDIT to add:
You may not:

*
Use a RAW original or RAW conversion software. You may shoot in RAW+JPG mode, provided you use the JPG original to create your entry.

Does that mean that I cannot use my photo application that reads RAW images to "Save As" JPG?

That would be correct. You may not. RAW is out. No RAW. RAW.

Hey ART, excuse me if I sound stupid. The camera shoots a RAW image, and depending on your settings, saves this as either RAW, JPG or both. If I open the RAW image on the camera on the SDHC card and still use the camera to do the conversion to JPG as it would have done at the time of shooting, surely this is 6 of one/half a dozen of the other. The camera is doing the conversion, not my PC photo application.

OK Never mind...You may not use the RAW at all, in any way or form, even if you've shot both RAW and JPG.

Correct. It HAS to be in .jpg format at the time of capture with no user intervention ie. manual conversion from RAW to JPG by user in camera or with software. RAW is out...period.

So, I read the rules & all of this thread & I still have a question about Save for Web. It's not listed as an edit we MAY do. It's not in the MAY NOT list either. I think that means you have the get it under 300MB during the Save As. Right?

[eta] This sounds like a great opportunity to use your phone camera!

I hope not.. - I interpreted SFW as not being an editing tool, but rather a file tool.. I might well be wrong though...

Clarification please :)

SFW is always permitted, don't worry about that one :)
