Would the permission required part still stand?
I'm guessing that it would.
Yup afraid so. In Chris' instance whilst he would not be selling other people's photographs, the photo's could arguably increase the profitability of his company by attracting more clients.

Why would you put Charlie89 as your watermark, your name is Kym and I doubt you were born in 89. There isn't an exact level of editing that avoids copyright, it's more to do with substantial similarity. You would be liable for prosecution if you made a decent sketch of a photograph even.
