This means that practices such as baiting of subjects with a living creature and removal of birds from nests, for the purpose of obtaining a photograph, are highly unethical, and such photographs are not allowed in any exhibition with PSA recognition.\u00a0 Under no circumstances may a living creature be placed in a situation where it will be killed, injured or stressed for the purpose of obtaining a photograph. Images that show live creatures being fed to captive animals, birds or reptiles are not permitted under any\u00a0circumstances.<\/p><p>There are also concerns about the use of aerial photography, drones, helicopters, low flying aircraft. These should not cause any interference with other individuals or animals which causes a disturbance in their normal activity or disrupt the way any individuals or animals interact with their environment.\u00a0 Entrants in PSA recognized exhibitions should comply with all relevant laws and regulations, associated with aerial photography, in the country in which the image was taken.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Entry into PSA recognized exhibitions is conditional on accepting these policies.\u00a0 The content of images must comply with the General Conditions and with the Division and Section definitions listed in these conditions. Images that &#8211; in the sole opinion of the judges- do not comply,\u00a0will be\u00a0disqualified so the entrant may be aware of the problem when considering entry into other exhibitions with PSA recognition.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>PSA Monochrome Definition<\/strong><\/p><p>An image is considered to be Monochrome only if it gives the impression of having no color (i.e. contains only shades of grey which can include pure black and pure white) OR it gives the impression of being a greyscale image that has been toned in one color across the entire image. (For example by Sepia, red, gold, etc.)\u00a0 A greyscale or multi-colored image modified or giving the impression of having been modified by partial toning, multi-toning or by the inclusion of spot coloring does not meet the definition of monochrome and shall be classified as a Color Work.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Greyscale Monochrome<\/strong> images may be entered for Nature, Photojournalism and Photo Travel but toned images are not permitted for these sections<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Monochrome images may not be entered in color sections of PPD or PID<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>FIAP Definition of Monochrome<\/strong><\/p><p>A black and white work fitting from the very dark grey (black) to the very clear grey (white) is a monochrome work with the various shades of grey. A black and white work toned entirely in a single colour will remain a monochrome work able to stand in the black and white category; such a work can be reproduced in black and white in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage. On the other hand a black and white work modified by a partial toning or by the addition of one colour becomes a colour work (polychrome) to stand in the colour category; such a work requires colour reproduction in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Editing Guidelines for Nature, Photojournalism and Photo Travel<\/strong><\/p><p>These sections require images to be truthful records, so there are limits on the amount of manipulation allowed.<\/p><p>PSA statement of subject matter applies to all sections.<\/p><p><strong>Editing Guidelines<\/strong><\/p><p>Processing or editing must be limited to making the image look as close to the original scene as possible, except that conversion to grayscale monochrome is allowed.<\/p><p><strong><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p><p><strong><u>Allowed editing techniques:<\/u><\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Cropping, straightening and perspective correction.<\/li><li>Removal or correction of elements added by the camera or lens, such as dust spots, noise, chromatic aberration and lens distortion.<\/li><li>Global and selective adjustments such as brightness, hue, saturation and contrast to restore the appearance of the original scene.<\/li><li>Complete conversion of color images to grayscale monochrome.<\/li><li>Blending of multiple images of the same subject and combining them in camera or with software (exposure blending or focus stacking);<\/li><li>Image stitching \u2013 combining multiple images with overlapping fields of view that are taken consecutively (panoramas);<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong><u>Editing techniques that are not allowed:<\/u><\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Removing, adding to, moving or changing any part of an image, except for cropping and straightening.<\/li><li>Adding a vignette during processing.<\/li><li>Blurring parts of the image during processing to hide elements in the original scene.<\/li><li>Darkening parts of the image during processing to hide elements in the original scene.<\/li><li>All conversions other than to complete grayscale monochrome.<\/li><li>Conversion of parts of an image to monochrome, or partial toning, desaturation or over-saturation of color<\/li><\/ul><p><strong><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>PSA\/FIAP Nature Definition<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Content Guidelines<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Nature photography records all branches of natural history except anthropology and archaeology.
