Message: <blockquote data-quote="Horoscope Fish" data-source="post: 609325" data-attributes="member: 13090">Maybe I'm getting confused because I was looking at this link provided by the OP:Those shots are, in my opinion, clearly post-processed.....What further confuses me is this, taken from Post 9 of this thread (emphasis mine)...Which seems very much at odds with what their FAQ states. I do have to say I very much appreciate the degree of transparency they exhibit regarding what they find to be an acceptable degree of post-processing. I like the fact very much they stay away from digital "plastic surgery" to borrow your phrase, I think that's admirable. My confusion stems from the photographer being quite clear in her assertion there is no post-processing being done when clearly there is. I suppose we could chalk it all up to using "Photoshop" as noun vs verb, or some other ambiguity of language or usage but frankly, I'm just not buying it.Now, all that being said, I don't wish to sound argumentative and I hope I'm not coming across that way. I don't have a dog in this race and really don't give two hoots how much, or if, someone post-processes their photography. My only concern was, and still is, that the OP appeared to being misled; whether intentionally or unintentionally. He posted a link to site that I still contend contains professional photos that are undeniably post-processed which may be contributing to my confusion of the matter. If I've misconstrued something in all of this it wouldn't be the first time.Cheers!  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />..... </blockquote>
