Anyone know if we can use it?

I can't find it anywhere and I don't have the time to search all night for it.

Disappointed I couldn't get an answer to this question before the rollover.

Oh well, I was going to send the person who answered the question a 3.2 Million dollar bonus.

Never saw it before sorry. Was watching sports.

There's no limit on what *program* you can use; just on what you *do* with it. There are some effects possible with Portrait Professional, regarding "reshaping" people, that might bring you afoul of the rules, certainly.

I didnt see this one either - however - be aware that the newest version of portrait professional actually uses a bump-map effect (texture) when smoothing the skin so that it doesn`t have that `china doll` appearance and still retains pores and texture - this is an added texture so possibly would fall foul of the ruleset - the same goes for catchlights in the eyes - it adds these in under certain pre-sets - so again this would probably be against the rules.

And obviously the face shaping is a definite no-no.

If you dig around inside the portrait professional folder you can find these .BMPs in there.

We have ample precedent for validating added texture in images as long as it is not a dominant texture. Howevere, it's certainly true that adding catchlights is likely to be a serious no-no.

I *seem* to recall a discussion of this some time ago, pertaining to use of the "liquify" filter, and SC stating that a small amount of body shaping is actually legal... Can't find the reference though.
