OTHER DEVIANTART POLICIES TO NOTE

PHOTOMANIPULATION GALLERY DESCRIPTION

<sub>The Photomanipulation section is dedicated to digital photographs that have undergone post processing and/or editing via the use of a graphical imaging software. The extent of manipulation should be prominent and noticeable in ways where it can be clearly distinguishable from the unaltered photograph.

When submitting to Photomanipulation, keep in mind deviantART's policies regarding source image reuse. You must have explicit permission to use images that are not your own or are not stock images, no matter how much time you spend manipulating them. It is recommended that you also state if you've used your own pictures to avoid misconceptions.

Please Note: All images submitted to this section should be altered in such way that it is clear you have used techniques other than a filter and/or alteration in the colour of the original. Rather than into the photomanipulation gallery, these pictures should be submitted to Photography or Digital Art>Miscellaneous. Also note that drawing or writing on top of a picture does not constitute as a photomanipulation. These deviations should go into Photography, Digital Art> Paintings & Airbrushing or the Cartoons & Comics sections for example. Which category is best suited to your deviation depends on what technique dominates in your deviation. If you have used a mixture of techniques, Digital Art>Miscellaneous. Vectorized versions of your pictures belong into Digital Art>Vectors or Vexels respectively. For more information on the nature of the other categories, please read their descriptions!</sub>

Deviantart, its owners, etc. DO NOT OWN THE COPYRIGHT TO OUR STOCK OR ARTWORK. As stated in the submission policy here --> [link] <-- If you have agreed to this policy, but have not read it or do not understand it then you NEED to go back and MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND IT!

Just because not all our stock has a visible copyright watermark does NOT mean that they are not SUBJECT TO COPYRIGHT PERMISSIONS! WE GIVE DEVIANTART USERS ONLY permission to download, use, MANIPULATE our stock art but NOT our artwork. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE UNMANIPULATED STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY INTO YOUR OWN WEBSITE! THIS IS COPYRIGHT VIOLATION!

It remains OUR option to remove or change or amend any or all of our stock and rules at ANY time.
