    A picture of a baby, even naked, is not child pornography unless involved
in some form of sexual act. Pictures of naked kids standing around is
classified as "child nudism" also unless involved in some sexual act.

    Personally, I think a tutorial on cleaning up photos that happens to have a
baby in it would be perfectly acceptable.  Encouraged, by me, because I keep
getting requests from family and friends to scan pictures of these kids they're
spawning.
