Marks on the subject’s skin

Birthmarks, freckles, moles, pimples, tattoos, wrinkles and the like on the skin of the subject of a photograph are “part of the scene being depicted.”

Thus — as per P2 — in a TTG photograph, marks/ blemishes/ flaws on a person’s skin cannot be deleted, resized, recolored, moved, modified, added, blurred, replaced, or reshaped apart from the effects of TTG’s Allowable Changes.

(This explains why “portraits” are listed on this website as a kind of photography unsuited to TTG.)

Some other things that are treated the same way

The pre-exposure obscuring of marks on skin through the application of makeup does not disqualify a photograph from TTG; no photograph is ever disqualified from TTG because of what was done to the subject.

“But I’m just making the photo show the way the subject could have looked if they had been wearing makeup!”
