I am experimenting with hdr and tonemapping with photomatix, for the 'candid' challenge.
Photomatix has a semi-automatic feature called ghosting removal, which allows to manually specify areas of the image where features have moved between exposures (say a person walking, foliage moving due to the wind etc.). The program then allows to select the preferred exposure and tries quite effectively to remove any ghosting/blurring.
I suppose one could achieve the same effect in photoshop by cloning out and/or masking the ghosting.
Is removing ghosting this way compatible with Advanced Editing rules?
In particular, I was wondering about the following excerpts:
[you may not]
*) combine captures of different scenes, move or change a feature between frames, or combine different captures to create a new scene.
*) use ANY editing tool to move, remove or duplicate any element of your photograph that would change a typical viewer’s description of the photograph (aside from color or crop), even if the tool is otherwise legal, and regardless of whether you intended the change when the photograph was taken.
Apologies if this was discussed already. If it was I couldn't find it.
Thanks
