I would like to know how much can one crop or alter a photo?
I have read the rules but they are not that clear.
for instance, can I blank out parts of the pic whilst cropping?
can I darken or lighten a pic with photoshop?
thanks |

In basic editing, you can apply the allowed edits to the entire image. So, for instance, you can increase/decrease levels, brightness/contrast, curves. You can apply sharpen or unsharp mask, you can crop your original to achieve your composition, etc.
Refer to the rules list of allowable edits. |

You can also just crop out the final 640x480 pixels without resizing. You have to edit everything the same across the board, but you could just throw away 95% of your picture and enter what was left, assuming you use one of the newer SLR cameras.
Its a good way to get tight macro shots.

Only if there is some other element in the photo, not just the TV screen.

| T.V photos come out real bad normally, because of the lo resoloution. Sometimes an image on a computer can be used as a background though. |

| TV photos frequently suffer from a "flicker" or rolling effect because the camera captures the screen in mid-refresh, especially if your exposure is around 1/30th second or slower. |

A photo from a magazine could be a component of your overall set-up, but it must be in an original context. Otherwise you are just stealing/copying someone else's work. For example, even had this been a real tabloid, it still would have been OK:
