Guidelines for Post-Processing of Images for Entry in Club Competition

All images must have been taken by the member, and the member must hold the copyright for all the images.
All images must have a photographic origin and must consist wholly of the member’s own work.
All images submitted by members must be entirely the members own work and contain no elements resulting from the use of computer sourced Artificial Intelligence (including replacement skies available in editing software ) or any other photographer's work.

While Members are encouraged to present their latest work, there is no limit on when the image or images were taken.
Where more than one image has been used in creating an entry, all images used must have been taken by the member.

Any element that can be taken by the member is not to be used from the features in packages, e.g. skies, textures, backgrounds
The use of features available in commercial software packages should only be used to change the mood of the image.

Images captured in workshops are acceptable in the club monthly competitions, but the maker should endeavour to ensure that he/she is working towards total control of setting up & executing the image

Specific Rules for Nature

The original image must have been taken by the photographer; whatever photographic medium is used.

Any manipulation or modification to the original image is limited to minor retouching of blemishes and must not alter the content of the original scene.
