The rules say that NO clip art is allowed in the advanced rules.
However, we can use filters.
What if I have an application that offers me a filter, or a clone tool that produces clip art? Is it still considered clips of art, or is it a filter, or tool?
How does this affect the rules?
Looking for answers.
Thanks in advance.

Wouldn't that be "adding elements"?

| Without seeing an example, I would tend to say that would be creating elements and would, indeed, be illegal. Shannon or one of the other more Photoshop-savvy may be able to help you more. |

I have always felt that if the "Advance editing" rules did NOT override the "Basic Editing" rules in a particular editing process such as borders, and clip art then the "basic editing rules" apply in that area.
Kind of like the speed limit here in my town. It is 30mph unless otherwise posted. So if I go down a road and see not speed limit signs then I assume it reverts back to the basic rule of '30mph unless posted'

If your filter adds a major "element" that was never there, or duplicates an "element" that was already there, it's definitely not legal. Now define "major" and "element" and you've got it nailed :-)

| In photoshop it is possible to 'paint' with icons or symbols that have been predefined. Painting in objects is contrary to Advanced Editing rules as that violates the 'major element' rule. However, by judicious use of standard tools and filters an image can be made to appear dramatically different than the original image. Example; Heida's spectacular use of 'dodge and burn' tools to alter an image into a ribbon winning classic, perfectly acceptable post processing techniques that also have darkroom equivalents. Alteration of luminence, contrast, and color is well accepted as well as cloning out small objects that distract from the image presentation. But do not add any 'major elements'!! |

| The editing rules are intended to make the most of your CAPTURE. As such, creating an object or shape that didn't exist in the original will result in a DQ whether the object is major or not. You could paste an ant into the background and it will get DQ'd. It doesn't matter whether you use copy and paste, the clone tool or a filter. A good example would be using a lens flare filter to create "sparkles" on an image. Cloning out minor distractions is OK, but adding new objects is not. |
