Allow me to clarify what I meant. It's not that photomanipulation is prohibited by the Image Policy; the Image Policy does not concern photomanipulation at all except insofar as it affects licensing. The Image Policy is about proper attribution of images.

When I said "photo manipulation is outside the scope of the Image Policy", it was a condensed version of the larger sentiment, "I am a Star Wars Fanon Moderator, and part of my job is enforcing the Image Policy, which also includes helping new users understand and comply with the Image Policy. It is not my job to help new users learn to use Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, or any other image manipulation software, nor am I personally inclined to go the extra mile and teach them to do so just out of the kindness of my heart—Photoshop because I don't actually have or use it myself, and PaintShop because I don't want to.  Anyone can Google 'how to use Photoshop' and find a thousand tutorials on that very subject."

That is a longer and somewhat harsher, but hopefully more clear, version of what I meant.
