Okay - looking to push the boundaries here...If I selected an area of a photo, cut and zoomed in on it to make a layer, then applied that layer over the full image, is that legal in Advanced Editing?
Basically the same image, but using part of it as a layer. |

Kinda depends on what the net effect is. What it will come down to is if you created something that wasn't in the original. For example, if the effect you are doing creates a heavy texture over the image where none existed before it probably wouldn't be legal but if it simply changes the tonal range so that it's more contrasty or changes the colors then that would probably be fine.
Edited to add "probably" in that last sentence. Best to show the specific result to an SC.

Hmmm - thanks. I'm looking to create the hugely tattered weathered old photo effect, without using a new layer. So would want to zoom in on a piece of wall in the background, grunge it, and use it as a new layer. The "probably" makes me nervous. But will go ahead and experiment for commercial purposes anyway.
What on earth are you doing awake at 2.30 am your time? |

That description of what you're trying makes me think it wouldn't be legal under advance. Making something grungy is fine but when you start creating dust/scratches and such then you start cross over to it being illegal.

Yeah I have an odd schedule. I blame my gf for that since she is very much a night owl.

It wouldn't be legal as you are creating a major element that wasn't in the original photo. Basically a small area that now covers, with part transparency, the entire photo.

Not legal -- duplicating an element is never allowed. It would then exist in the original (at original size) and also inlarged as a texture.
