Olaf et al;
First, I want to say that I really liked the fountain photo. And I liked
the digitally 'enhanced' one better.
As for the legitimacy of enhancement in particular for ADITL, I agree
with Olaf, ONLY brightness, contrast, color tuning and image cropping
should be used.
In fact, I just did some work on the ADITL2 page (No, not posted yet)
and I enhanced the contrast on a couple of the images.
I need to ask a question about doing this:
Does anyone mind if I enhance contrast/brightness to get the image to
look better to me on my monitor? If so, speak now. In ADITL1, I
basically assumed that the way it was sent was the way it should be
presented and got no complaints. But some of the images are much
improved by a click or 2 of contrast addition, at least IMHO.
Please let me know how you all feel.
