| can you use gradient map in basic and I know you can use adjustment layers but can you do say curves at 15 opacity? |

the curves at 15% opacity is fine, greating a layer with pixel data in it and applying a gradient is not allowed.
The SC can confirm.

I was told by SC that gradient map was legal in basic.

I am confused can you explain this??
"greating a layer with pixel data in it and applying a gradient is not allowed. "
ok lets say I did this many layers without flattening or merging
curves 20 opacity
channel mixer 50 opacity
levels 20 opacity
gradient 15 opacity
I a little green..

ANY selective editing in basic is a NO, NO.
I guess a gradient could be considered a color corection tool, But...
...if you use a gradient then it must be used in the whole image, not just part.
That means it has to be the top layer in your layers pallet for it to work.
Opacity has not any barring in this issue.
If I were you, I would contact SC directly under the "Help" section of this site.

remember that in basic all layers must be in normal mode. |

Yep, your right.

Guys, you are confusing a gradient map with a gradient layer. Yes, a gradient map is quite fine in basic and as a matter of fact is a simple and effective way to convert to B&W (along with some other color effects).

maybe something to learn here.
please explain the difference.
curious.

| A gradient adds pixels were as a gradient map adjusts only the color of existing pixels. |

If you didn't selectively applied it like you did here or lowered the opacity (which ever), the gradient would be shown as nothing but a color transition hiding the guy's face completely. |

Most or nearly all my "black and white" images, in the recent "30 Day black and white" challenge, have been processed using gradient map as it seems to be more dramatic for my style of images, and I like it.
As  fotomann_forever says, it is legal in "basic", as I also ran a thread some four or five months ago, asking site coincil if it was legal and there reply was yes.
