This would surely be much clearer than the current rule.  The difference 
between post processing the image in photoshop and doing the same post 
processing in an awfully slow and memory intensive SDL based system is 
quite academic though.  But unless you want to completely remove the 
post processing rule this probably is the clearest line that can be drawn.
