That's an iffy one...you are better off sending a ticket to SC with the before and after. I can say, though, that if it has created a new element within the image, then it wouldn't be allowed.

I don't think it is legal. However, if it is used slightly and it doesn't change the shot in a drastic way, it may be legal...
I'd ask SC.

| Advanced is not methods-based, it's results-based. The question needing an answer is whether applying a radial blur would "add a feature" to the image. A feature is something that looks like it was a part of or an attribute of the as-captured scene. A radial (zoom) blur or motion blur applied in post would both add something that would be confused with an as-captured scene and would almost certainly be regarded as an added feature, and thus disqualified. Make sense? |

 kirbic, would you please rephrase that?
(or in other words: Huh?)
I think you're saying that radial blur is a "no." Correct?
:-))

Let me try.
Advanced editing is not concerned with HOW you accomplished a result, but with the result itself. Advanced editing forbids the "adding of features" to the finished image. If use of radial blur "adds a feature", that will be grounds for DQ.
R.
ETA: let me add a hypothetical to that: suppose if made a long exposure shot where I twirled the camera during the exposure. Radial blur will be present in the original capture. I can conceive of using the rdaial blur feature of PS to augment that existing feature legally. I may be wrong...

You are correct, gently enhancing something that is already there is OK. Radically "enhancing" something that was just barely perceptible in the original may be skating the line :-) |
