Hello All,

I feel like I read somewhere that vignetting is not allowed, but I can't find where I read it. Or did I dream this information?

Thanks, in advance!

One last question on this topic: does this apply to Polarization filters?

You may apply any filter you want, as long as the picture still looks natural. Hardware filters may or may not produce a result that is accepted by stock.

So whatever you do: the don'ts are to be read "don't..., except if the image still looks natural". The problem with filters is, that people use them to cover up bad decisions during the image take.
