I wonder this too. I’m curious if like a portrait mode on a newer I phone is ok, or if vibrant filter? I don’t usually end up using those... but I’d have some great pictures if it was allowed...

Portrait mode is perfectly fine- it isn't a filter or form of editing.

I have the same question. I apply the vibrant filter to some of my photos too because it helps to make the colors of my subject pop out but still looks natural. Of course to keep it looking natural I lower the percentage of filter to under 35. I'm wondering if that counts as an over-edit or minor change.

Example:

Original

Filtered (35%)

This isn't the best example since the picture is not well lit anyway, but it gives you an idea of what I'm talking about.

Here's what I consider overly edited:

And I would call this a minor change since the filter is very subtle:

@casportpony could have a different opinion though.

In my book, if you can’t tell it’s there it don’t count! But I’m gonna check if it’s okay anyway

Regarding the rules... Don't add anything digitally. This is what the rules used to say:

We want to see the world through your eyes, not through the excessive use of editing tools.
However, basic cropping and poop removal is allowed.

Gotcha. Does that count out portrait mode?? I hope not because that’s all I’ve taken photos in

That is adorable, but remember, the picture must be one that *you* took in 2020 or 2021, and no people or parts of people allowed in the picture. Pictures from the web, and/or pictures with people in them will be disqualified.

No one will be disqualified for pictures taken in portrait mode.

No one will be disqualified for pictures taken in portrait mode.

Thank you
