Is triptych and or postcard photo design allowed in advanced editing?
 12/19/2008 04:57:02 PM · #2
No. One image only and no extra elements to be added in processing...only one distinct border.

Many Thanks

Is global lens correction allowed? I took a photo with a 15 mm lens and I used the Photoshop's "Distort" – "Lens Correction" globally on the image to adjust the photo is this procedure ok in advanced rules?

That's fine.

(Edited for simplicity).

Yes and no....what is your correction?

You may not:
use ANY editing technique to create new image area, objects or features (such as lens flare or motion) that didn̢۪t already exist in your original capture(s).

use distortions to create new effects or radically alter objects.

When using a fisheye lens, the horizon is not necessarily straight if it is not in the center of the capture; and light poles, especially on the sides of the image look curved, so lens correction helps you rid the image of this undesirable effect. That is it. And of course you end up with less of your original capture.

Tareq - I would fire off a request for opinion to SC on this (Contact Us - General Inquiry). You can send a saved for web copy of your unedited and your edited image and they will give you a reasonable opinion. I have done this on several occasions and got helpful feedback as if it was likely legal or not.

My opinion is just an opinion - but I believe this is allowed in advanced - but I have always been squeamish about doing this!

I would say that'd be fine too. Great shot, btw :-)

I think it should be ok too! Let's wait and see the SC reply on the ticket.
