being a new paying member I'm a little unfamiliar with the advanced editing rules, I took my picture for the Mug Shot challenge but noticed that there was something missing. I had put the "1/2 foot" markings in the background before the shot but it looked bare so I thought I would add some 1" markings also to make it look more realistic. To make a long story short I copied part of the 1/2 foot lines and pasted then back in the picture to make the 1" marks. Is this okay to do or will I be disqualified for adding new objects as stated below. Just wondering if anyone might have some advice for me.

use ANY editing tool to move, remove or duplicate any element of your photograph that would change a typical viewer’s description of the photograph (aside from color or crop), even if the tool is otherwise legal, and regardless of whether you intended the change when the photograph was taken.
#
use ANY editing technique to create new image area, objects or features (such as lens flare or motion) that didn’t already exist in your original capture(s).
Thanks in advance for the advice!
Chris

| I wouldn't take the chance but would reshoot. The rule is very subjective and has caused lots of controversy (search the forum threads). |

| Maybe you don't even need those lines, I looked at alot of mug shots, few had the lines. |

| I would say 98% of the mugshots that I looked at, don't have lines |
