I do believe it is legal. Don't overdo it though, because it makes images way too soft and fluffy.

NeatImage may be used as stated in the rules:
Filters: The use of filters (or non-Photoshop equivalent) is strictly limited. Any filter or stand-alone utility designed and used to preserve the integrity of the image and/or reduce the effects of noise, scratches, etc, are permitted. These include but are not limited to the Sharpen, Unsharp Mask, and Dust & Scratches filters, and standalone image cleanup utilities such as NeatImage.
As Jacko said, just because it's legal it doesn't mean you need to overuse it. |

So I guess the lesson here is to read the rules first ;) I hadn't looked at them in awhile, so either I forgot it was legal, or I missed it the last time around. I know not to overdo it :)
Now, I wish we could use masks and things like that... I have an image for the desolation challange where I want to adjust the contrast on one part of the image without affecting another part. |

I had never heard of Neatimage until coming here... seems like everyone is talking about it. So, I decided to give it a try. I wanted to fix up a favorite self-portrait that came out unacceptably grainy.
Before & After.
A lil too soft, but an improvement. |

Neatimage really really really pays off reading their site and reading the instructions and playing with the settings. I have to be careful because on certain kinds of images I find it can over-sharpen the results.

You are doing excellent job as a beginner,The garden Globe is awesome photo!
The camera you have is a nice equipment,just avoid strong sunlight when you take photos,do it at sunrise or sunset time better!
Light is a most important part of the picture!

NeatImage is pretty cool, but has anyone noticed that it tends to alter the colors of your image sometimes? I can't (or haven't tried to) pin down under what conditions it happens, but I've noticed HUGE differences sometimes in the colors after using NeatImage.
Anyone else noticed this? Why does it happen? |

I was wondering if you meant the "edge preserving smooth" function?
And if so, is that legal in basic editing.
If not, what do you mean. PSP 7 is what I use. |
