The camera club competition rules have been updated to include the amendments relating to the use of Artificial Intelligence discussed and agreed at the meeting last week. The committee is planning to review the changes in approximately six months to ensure that they are still relevant.
All images must originate from a photographic image (or images) taken by the member. The use of stock images or the use of advanced Generative AI tools where entirely new images or image elements are built at pixel level using non-photographic processes are not permitted. The person entering the image must hold the copyright for the image and all component parts.
AI-enabled algorithmic automation of basic imaging processing (including for example exposure optimisation in-camera, the cloning of a background, removal of photographic noise or removal of subject elements), are allowed, all such modifications must be the photographers own work.
