I think a link to this thread should be put on the Challenge Rules - Basic Editing page.

I've been here since late 2004, read forums quite regularly, and still had to hunt/search the forums for this topic because I couldn't remember exactly what was said about Tone Mapping for the Basic Ruleset challenges.

Thanks.

Dear community,

Over the last few weeks there has been a lot of discussion and confusion about the legality of certain plug-ins and stand-alone post-processing softwares.

After lengthy debate and research, we announce the following:

LucisArts, Photomatix and Virtual Photographer are NOT PERMITTED to be used under the basic rule set.

We recognize that we have allowed the use of some or all of these in various circumstances in the past. We were trying to find a way to allow the legal use of some of the parts of these plug-ins, and allowed their use to try to understand them better. In the end, we could not find a consistent basis on which to allow the use of these tools, and so must disallow them because they can do a host of "illegal" things, along with some legal ones.

Our apologies for any confusion this has caused and may cause. We hope this change will allow for a clearer understanding of the rules.
