Does the image guides also go for resume service photos?

Does everything listed in this guide (https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/images-videos/images-guidelines/G27LPBQZA7EAZGJW?ref_=hel...#) go for photos submitted via the resume service as well? I ask because there has always been a difference between resume submitted photos and non-resume submitted photos.
Example: David Bedella's headshot (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1525717/) has a watermark and should be deleted according to the guide.

Yes; or if not completely, then mostly.

Hi Marco,

Thanks for your post.

Our policies are the same when it comes to all image content on the database - as such, I have reported these images now. Please allow up to 24 hours for this to reflect on all platforms. 

Have a great day!

Joel

don't know if anyone cares, but his black bar pic is back as well as some watermarked images.
So did these ever get taken down, or were they just resubmitted?
And I have to say I wouldn't care except in this case the black bars ruin the pic and make it a terrible pic for his name page. Too bad he doesn't realize it.

Mike, they were taken down. Apparently, David Bedella or his agent has added these photos after the original main photo was taken down...

too bad. guess they don't realize that the bars make the photo look awful. I did put in a submission to take it down but it was rejected.

It is a 'headshot' on a pro page added by the owner of the page who pays money to have a headshot and other photos uploaded. It's a cropped photo from an award no watermarks, I have seen the original. You can't take down photos from a pro page unless they are in serious breach of the rules and this is not.

I had relied on Joel's answer, but you made me go and look.
According to the imdbpro instructions(
https://help.imdb.com/article/imdbpro/manage-your-imdb-page/manage-your-images/GYJLH267T2DMYJ53?ref_...
):
Are changes to my images vetted by IMDb? Any images that you upload and any changes you make to these images are not vetted by IMDb before they are published on the site. Note that images must adhere to IMDb’s Image Guidelines, and your image may be removed if it violates policy.

Those guidelines say there is not to be "Bars or framing around the outside of the image"

And if you really want to nitpick, there isn't to be "Advertising for products or services" which I think I see a mastercard logo there.

So I would tend to disagree about both images.  And since they were removed at least once, one would tend to think differently.
