About one month ago we asked you what level of editing and processing was acceptable in photography.

One week after we opened the poll we talked about some preliminary results. At the time 47 of you had voted and things were looking like photography should allow for complete creativity freedom in the edition process.

After one month and 144 votes, the results changed quite a bit with "Anything needed, as long as the final result still resembles a photo" assuming clear leadership.

Here are the final results of our poll:

We want to thank all of you who participated.

As a final question, if you voted after listening to the podcast episode, did our discussion influence your vote?

PhotoNetCast #7 – Editing and Processing in Photography

In this episode of PhotoNetCast we discuss editing and processing in photography.

Editing and processing has been done since photography began, and was a common procedure that many of the great masters have used to expand beyond reality and create a new reality on the photo paper.

Now let’s bring digital into the scene…

From one captured image is now possible to create, within seconds, a multitude of different photos just with a few clicks of the mouse.

For the purists, a deadly photographic sin. For others, an opportunity for explosive creativity.

How far can an image be edited and processed and still be considered photography? And in which situations can an altered image be used?

In this episode of PhotoNetCast we discuss this, and more.
