sometimes if i do this, i feel.... guilty?

i used Photoshop to change the levels, (ie saturation,sharpness, etc).. that's it..
so is this cheating??
i only have a P&S cam, and ofcourse it limits the output...

It's called enhancement and it isn't cheating.

minimal ra 2-3 minute enhancement ok ra
but to be honest i like the 1st one
but then again its just a matter of taste

basta ang important is 1st gyud ang actual framing or capture
secondary ra ang enhancements..dili kay bahala na bati kay fotoshop ra daugon

aw.. ok thanks. kay medyo hanap man gud ako digicam 5mp raman gud. ako lang gihayagan gamay

even for film, the guy who develops your rolls does some enhancements on your shots. its the same for digital...the only difference is... its digital.

no need to worry. PS is the dark room of the digital age.

[mokiloo]

the usual thing most photoshoppers say..hehehe

nevermind the actuall capture...bahala na ang photoshop mag pa nindot.

hala kusoga bya nku mogamit ug masking oi. its my method of doing non-destructive dodge and burn. depende cguro paggamit nmo sa tool bro. kung imo pun.an ug object/thing/whatever ang picture nga wla originaly pag take sa shot... kana cguro cheating na.
