Unfortunate Out of Uniform Picture

[a2capt]

Out of curiosity, to what extent do you use the term "edited"?

Cropping, color correcting I could understand. Changing whats being pictured I might have to say is pushing it. I always take photos at the largest resolution and picture "more" than I need.

I will not go into the philosophical debate of what is a photo and what is art. 

I consider my Photoshop skills to be amateurish, but I can definitely add a cover to a cadet that forgot one, flip a ribbon around, or move/remove a badge.  All corrections to avoid lengthy Captalk forum discussions   

Things like color correction, crop, resizing, exposure compensations, etc are not editing, they are normal workflow items that must be done to every photo, especially when shooting raw.

Again, every photo must tell a story....   http://kalemis.com/cap/index.htm
