lets see what we are made of. No cropping no nothing. Just what you and your lense can do. I think that some of us are way more of a graphic artist than a photographer. Photoshop to me is like a do over. Lets find our talent.

Not to beat a dead horse, there's always processing going on, either in camera to apply parameters and compress to jpg from the raw captured data or in a raw converter or in a photo editor.

On that note, there hasn't been a minimal editing challenge posted in a while, maybe it's time for a new one.

Here are a few of mine from the days before I knew photoshop:







I shot these in jpeg too.

We have had a no PP challenge back in July 2006 (challenge 519). It was under advanced editing rules but based on strict extra rules.

It's called minimal editing rules, we have them, we've have a few min editing challenges. We should have more!

FWIW, I don't think a single photographer on this site was suddenly shot to the top of scores by a Min Editing challenge.

I wouldn't expect a photographer's scores to jump from brown to blue just because PP was taken away from the big dogs.

I agree! For PP to work you must begin with a photograph that is technically spot-on. If you have a NO-PP challenge you still have to take the same technically spot-on photograph. So the only way a photographer is going to consistently score well, he has to begin with a great photograph (out of the camera).
