Can I say how much I dislike the very obvious of HDR in many images? My personal choice is always for minimal or zero post processing. Gordo

Perhaps in future years we could request that participants upload the original (give or take a little cropping/rotation/other things that wouldn't be seen as affecting the 'authenticity' of the photo) as well as the HDR'd version?   Harry Mitchellhttp://enwp.org/User:HJ Phone: +44 (0) 7507 536971 Skype: harry_j_mitchell From: Ed Hand <edwardxx(a)gmail.com> To: UK Wikimedia mailing list <wikimediauk-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Sent: Wednesday, 17 December 2014, 16:21 Subject: Re: [Wikimediauk-l] WLM awards ceremony and community Xmas party 2014 Dear Gordo and list Thanks - I didn't know about HDR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-dynamic-range_imaging This phenomenon was troubling me too, and now I have a name for it. Personally, all I do before uploading images to Commons is the occassional rotation, crop or slight sharpen.  However, I've been uploading too many images to have time for much else. As for WLM, I don't recall any mention in the judging criteria of the desirability (or otherwise) of various post-processing techniques.  If I was looking to select an image for a Wikipedia article, I would be reluctant to choose a heavily-stylized image.  Of course, WLM and Commons are not looking to merely provide an image bank for Wikipedia. Perhaps the judges could consider providing some guidance about HDR and other post-processing techniques for next year's WLM ? best wishes Edward Hands (Edwardx) On 12 December 2014 at 12:57, Gordon Joly <gordon.joly(a)pobox.com> wrote: Can I say how much I dislike the very obvious of HDR in many images?
