Photoshopping in Screenshot Competitions

[Aemilius Paulus]

Well, I voted that any photo edits should be allowed.

The lack of image-editing programs should not be an excuse, since there is plenty of free ones out there, such as GIMP, which is what I have.

I would have voted for "slight editing" but it is really difficult to put a line between "heavy" and "slight" editing. If this was not too much, we should have two screenshot competitions in every month's competition, which is what Gleemonex said if I am not mistaken. One will be a competition for "pure" screenshots with absolutely no editing and another with whatever editing one would like, maybe even on the same thread. So we will have people submit all kinds of screenshots, but the two categories cannot compete with each other.

As for myself, I am a proponent of the edited screenshots, as they look much better, but those editited "screenshots" are not really "screenshots", but works of art in my opinion. Because of this we should definitely have two competitions: one for "screenshots" and one for "pictures". We could also have an "artwork" competition where you draw something yourself, but I doubt there will be enough people willing to participate.
