- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I went to a large juried craft show in Pennsylvania that attracted entrants from all over the US.
There were about 12 photographers there, virtually all showing large prints of colorful scenes from Europe (mostly Italy and France), lots of them very similar.
The most bizarre and disgusting thing is that all but two of them had these over-wrought, amazingly over-saturated colors. So much oversaturated that I expected the color to start leaking out of the print and over the frames. In many of them the white clouds had distinct color casts from the printing.
These were not amateur or cheap in any way. How disgusting. They looked like wall decorations for touristy restaurants with dim lighting.
