Is it permissible, within the basic editing rules, to use the Variations tool in Photoshop Elements to apply a tint to a black and white image? I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be, and I've seen submissions that use a similar effect (most likely with a different tool though). I'm just very paranoid about rules and afraid of doing anything which isn't explicitly mentioned in them. :\

This process affects the whole picture so it should be legal.

If the tool you're considering is applied to the entire image, and doesn't move any of the pixels, odds are it's legal. However, it doesn't hurt to ask :o) The tool you mention sounds like it merely changes hue&sat, and possibly some levels, so would be ok for Basic.

Yep, it's applied to the whole image, and what you think it does sounds pretty accurate. If I had the full version of Photoshop, I'd use Duotone to achieve this, but that's not available in Photoshop Elements. It sounds like it's safe to use it. Thanks!

I'm in concurrence with Manic, I've played with this tool and everything it does can be done with basic-editing-legal tools. I would definitely say "legal."

Edit for typos
