It has become rather popular on flickr to alter one's photographs using Photoshop... The end result? Quite a number of images with other-worldly colors, noise, obvious filter use, etc... This also applies to images taken in color digitally then changed to black and white with use of a program. While Photoshop can be good for contrast, brightness, cropping photographs, etc, this group is for those of us that have not needed (or wanted) to use Photoshop to alter our images... The photographs contained in this group are as is. Meaning, as the camera captured them. They must not have any alterations... This is an honor system group. Also, invite friends or contacts who also have unaltered photographs! Thank you, Mike.
