My understanding is that it would depend on how important an element it is in the photograph. If it's a close up shot and there the flash is significant, then you may be treading on thin ice. If it's small, and doesn't change the "look" of the photograph once removed, then you should be okay. There is no definite answer here.
Rules:
You may NOT: 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.
Would probably be best to contact SC with your before and after images. |
