From the advanced rules:
Layers: You may use layers, layer masks and alternative layer modes to assist in your selective editing.

Is it okay to add a plain coloured layer to the image? I.e. for colouring a photograph (an alternative method to HSL layers).

And, is it okay to duplicate the original layer? I.e. for creating a soft focus effect.

Thanks!

Yes I know I keep bothering you with questions. Bump.

I feel it is legal in advanced editing. But you know there is some gray areas within the editing rules right now. With that said I would suggest you contact the SC under HELP > Contact > and choose sc questions. Make sure you include the steps you plan on using and if you have already created the image they may want to see it.

I wish I could be of more help but I think contacting the SC would be the safest thing to do.

As I read what you want to do- you are essentially talking about adding the equivilant of a color filter or a soft focus filter yes?

The examples are just for illustration. What I want is to add an opaque colour layer in Color blend mode, and to duplicate the original layer.

Its about duotones again, but not for the current challenge.
