I would guess that defishing an image taken with a fisheye lens would be illegal under the basic rules, but I actually can't find anything in those rules that seems to explicitley disallow it.
Does anyone know if this has been hashed out before? |

Defish is illegal under the basic rules. A similar discussion took place regarding the distortion corrections available under the "lens" tab in Adobe® PhotoShop® and the consensus was "illegal". That's a much milder correction than a defish.

| OK, thanks. What do the basic rules say about cheating, then? ;) |

Well I never heard of defishing before, so if I can find it, it sounds like a term that should be suggested to the folks doing the DPC dictionary!

De-fishing - what you do before de cooking & de eating.

Hee hee, don't listen to Julia, she might be slightly biased =)
Seriously, I agree for the most part. When I use a fisheye, I'm typically wanting the distortion for effect.
That said, the "full frame" 15mm fisheyes do yield beautiful images when defished, and defishing doesn't always mean correcting ALL of the distortion. I sometimes partially correct to get an effect I want.

| Exactly. I love the distortion a fish gives, but in some cases I'm using it just to get that 18mm defished wide. This was one of those cases. Bummer. |

Fisheye lenses are made to get that sertain looke, note just to edit it away again. Grigrigirl photo in third place is a proof of what you can do with it and I wouldn't want to defish this shot of mine for anything, except for a ribbon :)
