I'm sure we would be very careful in evaluating a photo for validation. Photoshop's Info window can show the difference between an area 95% black from one 99% black, even if it's not visible on the screen. However, I have the same problem with the voters, as this recent entry ...

I had this problem with one of my entries... considering
is on every single image vote screen I'm amazed more people don't pay attention to it before voting an image down because it's "too dark" when I'd bet money on ~20% of the scale being indistinguishable to most them. While I'm sure it's not practical, a test such as a hot-or-not-esq "which is darker" before allowing people to vote would solve most of these issues and also get more people configuring their monitors properly. |

| Can a PS gradient exposure filter layer be used under basic editing rules? |

Looks like no since it involves a mask layer. |

Thanks for the response. It's really funny but I'm resisting the temptation to make it darker.. I apparently like my low key to be 'really' low key 0_0

| Is the healing brush allowed in basic editing? I'm thinking no but thought I would ask before I throw a photo away. |

It's allowed for the purpose of cloning sensor dust or hot pixels.
