- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
Please point me to these many, many "PHOTO" contests where 80% 'shopping is allowed and used on the winning PHOTOS.I am also amazed at how much photoshop beyond the typical color correction, blemish removing, contrast, etc is allowed into photo contests. I tend to think if the image is 80% not real, it's not really a photograph but more of a graphic concept.
Me to - any serious photography competition is often terribly restrictive with the use of editing. RAW processing, cropping, sharpening and noise are about all you can get away with. Everything else is mostly right out of the question (esp any selective editing like local contrast/curves etc...).
