wow, that is an interesting statement. Can you provide a link or a reference or example where they have rejected cases based on picture edits? I have been editing photos with significant steps. I doubt your statement is correct though, or are you just postulating this? please elaborate. Thanks..
Do you doubt the official instructions???
