Ok, so I was wondering if it is at all possible to rotate a picture and leave in the BG color rather than cropping it out in basic editing?
it is like a border, but have I then added something? |

I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean.....
Are you talking about selecting a portion of the photo and rotating that portion, leaving a "frame" of the un-rotated portion around it?
I'm not an expert, but I think that doing something like what I mentioned might qualify as "moving a major element"....but the SC could probably say better....might depend on if it's a solid color background vs. something that's very busy. |

Though I've have never had occasion to think about it in any situation it is an interesting question. You never know, I might find a use for that. I'd be interested in an official answer :)

When you rotate a picture, it leaves 'corner' areas that are empty. Well, not exactly empty, they contain the BG color selected at the time.
This is like a canvas size up which creates a border, but it is not symmetrical.
It usually doesn't look so hot, so most people don't even consider it, but it might have it's purposes... |

It seems like it would be allowed, from reading the editing rules:
Borders: It is suggested that if you decide to use a border, you should only use one or two solid colors around the outside of your photo. However, alternative borders are allowed, as long as they do not contain any text, clip art, photographs, or other artwork. |

If you go on the basis that this one was not disqualified, it's legal :-) And there have been others, it's far from original with me.

Creating an obvious border, even asymetrical ones like Bear posted, should be legal. However, you can't crop something out and then enlarge the canvas or rotate the image to create additional area that matches your image background.
