adding

As per P2, adding any pictorial elements or any pictorial area to a photograph always disqualifies the result from P2 and from TTG, regardless of how “minor” the photographer regards the addition.

This disqualification includes “adding from within,” for example when the Canvas Size is increased and a strip of blank sky is cloned to fill in the top to make the photo “taller.”

Obviously the addition of any AI-generated elements always disqualifies the result from TTG, as does the addition of any photographically recorded elements that do not meet the list of Allowable Changes.
