is it valid in basic editing?
What about any other settings in Photoshop RAW editor? |

I don't think that's the correct clause that applies to vignetting, because adding vignettes is legal in advanced editing (to a degree). I was disqualified for adding a vignette in basic, even though there is no specific clause that applies to this. I've asked the SC to change the rules regarding vignettes in basic, and since i've asked them, numerous other people have been dq'ed for the same reason. This really is an issue that needs immediate attention. |

I don't know. It still seems rather explicit to me:
You may not use ANY editing tool to create new image area, objects or features (such as vignettes, lens flare or motion) that didn’t already exist in your original capture.
That is right of out the basic rules.
If the vignette was there already you can enhance it through levels etc. You can't create it out of the ether.

I agree. I don't see how it can be any clearer. As proof the DQ in Sepia was self reported because they knew vignettes wasn't allowed in basic. Speaking of which, I wonder how many others have used that same lightroom preset and not even realized it adds a vignette.

did DPC misspell vignette or something, it is clear as day
and yet even after it is emboldened you still question it?
no worries though, a lesson learned....... |

or make one with a large cardboard tube, like from industrial TP or whatever fits. Just hold in place and shoot. Cut to adjust. I used to do it w/ 35mm |

Or buy a step down ring for a filter. Lots of ways to do it in camera....I like the TP tube idea though.
As for the "it can happen in real life bit"? So can wonderful blue skies full of clouds. So why can't I take those from another picture and patch them on the one I want? Because this site is about photography not Photoshop. Advanced gives you a fair bit of latitude with processing but basic is there to emphasize good photography. Even under advanced, the extra freedom you get is to work a photograph not add stuff that wasn't already there.

| You're right, they did add vignettes to the basic rule's "new features" clause. Hopefully fewer people will make this mistake. |
