Does SS allow illustrations that have been auto traced from photographs (my own photographs)?
-
Yes, but they will most likely ask for a photo reference.

Yes and No. One color is yes, everything else is no?
Didn't they send us a notice that some autotraced was no longer accepted? I suppose somebody who does this can answer better, I just read the email, forum and the blog.

Based on our analysis of content performance and customer feedback, moving forward we will only accept auto traced one-color line art and flat art. Auto-traced full color photos and illustrations will now be rejected with the following reason: Unacceptable Auto Trace – We are no longer accepting this type of content.
Acceptable traces can be based on drawings and paintings using any technique from pen and ink to graphite. As long as the trace results in a one-color vector element or texture being created. The trace should be tight and accurate in order to maintain the quality of the line, but overall remain easily editable.
