  Indecent pseudo-photograph of a child - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Photographing a painting might create an image that lacks many of the elements that show the original image to be a painting: the size, frame, brush strokes, etc. But a photograph of a painting remains a "photograph" - and therefore a copy of it remains a "copy of a photograph".
But an edited photograph of it might be considered to be an indecent pseudo-photograph of a child, and hence be classed as child pornography.
However, an image of a child who is nude in a "legitimate setting" can still be considered to be indecent if the image was "indecent in the context in which it was taken".

 Indecent photograph of a child - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An indecent photograph of a child is indecent, and shows a child.
Simple possession of such photographs was not an offence until the passing of the Criminal Justice Act 1988, which depends upon the 1978 Act for the definitions of indecent photographs.
The Sexual Offences Act 2003 raised the age of a child from 16 to 18, and created three new "pornography" offences: inciting a child to become involved in pornography (section 48); controlling the actions of a child involved in pornography (s.

A child was defined to be a person under 16 years of age.

Whether or not a photograph is indecent is a question of fact, and as a question of fact it is something for a jury or magistrate to decide.

 Argument on the lawfulness of R. v. Bowden 1999
One example might be the possession of indecent photographs of a child by a police officer in the investigation of a case of possession.
To charge a person with 'making indecent photographs of children' where the images are stored in files that were downloaded from the Internet is oppressive since the only evidence that can be adduced will be the result of the investigating party committing exactly the same offence as the accused.
On a closely related note, the number of offences committed while an indecent photograph of a child is displayed onscreen is unclear: the Court of Appeal says that the length of time an image remains on the screen is irrelevant but this is because the Court misunderstands the nature of the technology.

According to Kirkhope, "Pseudo-photographs are technically photographs, but they are created by computer software such as MS Paintbrush by using more than one picture" (apparently quoting Yaman Akdeniz, Cases & Materials).
In R v Fellows & Arnold (1996), the Court of Appeal considered whether a computer file containing data that could be converted into an on-screen image identical to the original photograph should be considered to be a photograph, or whether it should be considered to be a copy of a photograph.
Might the logic from the Fellows & Arnold decision therefore mean that a photograph of a painting is a copy of a pseudo-photograph?

 Child pornography: an international perspective   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
A review of child pornography legislation promulgated by different countries around the globe reveals something of a trend towards an increasing commitment to the protection of children from pornographic exploitation.
The 1993 child protection law passed in the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7610) includes a provision which prohibits the employment or coercion of children under 18 years of age to perform in obscene exhibitions or indecent shows, whether live or video, or to model in obscene publication or pornographic materials.
Since the advent of computer manipulated child pornography, several countries have passed legislation supporting an expanded definition of child pornography which includes "simulated" child pornography (where the person depicted is considered an adult by law but is obviously portraying a child) or "pseudo" child pornography which can be computer manipulated or computer generated pornography.

 R v. Bowden   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Facts: The appellant had been charged with 12 counts of having "made an indecent photograph" contrary to s.1(1)(a) Protection of Children Act 1978, and nine other offences of possessing an indecent photograph of a child under the age of 16 years contrary to s.160 Criminal Justice Act 1988.
The appellant had pleaded not guilty to the 12 counts on the 1978 Act offences but changed his plea after a ruling from the judge that the appellant's behaviour had amounted to taking or making an indecent photograph and he was not merely in possession of them.
The reproduction of indecent material to be found on the Internet was within the mischief aimed at by the legislation when the 1978 Act was amended by adding the words "to make".

 R v (1) GRAHAM WESTGARTH SMITH (2) MIKE JAYSON (2002)
The recipient of an e-mail attachment containing an indecent image of a child would not commit an offence under s.1(1) by opening that attachment if he was unaware that it contained or was likely to contain an indecent image.
That ruling was that browsing child pornography on the internet amounted to the offence if it resulted in: (i) an image being displayed on the computer's screen; or (ii) the automatic downloading of an image to a temporary internet cache, provided that there was the requisite mens rea.
The necessary mens rea was that the act of making should be a deliberate and intentional act with the knowledge that the image was or was likely to be an indecent photograph or pseudo-photograph of a child.
