When you take a photograph, do you like to edit it or leave it as is? If you like to edit it, do you like to just make some minor adjustments to make the image look nicer, or do you prefer to all out manipulate the image and create something totally different?

Silhouette of Brid and Groom - This photo was exposed for the window and the brid and groom were then darkened suing photo shop Elements.
I usually just adjust the lighting or color to make it more true. I also do a lot of cropping to get the balance I want in the photo. I have done some mutilation of photos at peoples request. I had one case where they wanted a family photo but were missing one member of the family. I was able to cut out that person from another photo and past her into the family photo. I have also taken large family photos and changed a head because of their expression. I did do one for a wedding where I darkened the bride and groom in front of a stained glass window creating almost a silhouette of them.

Since I don't have a digital camera yet, all of my photos are on slides and/or negatives, which means I have to scan them to digitize. Now while the scanning process is all right I often have to edit my photos, that is add/subtract contrast, add/subtract color saturation and so forth, also I often have better cropping of photos when I edit them on my Photoshop. Sometimes though via Photoshop I just love making an entirely "new" looking photos with all the types of "textures" that is available on Photoshop making it look like a completely different photo

yes, this is my favorite thing to do before when there's no internet connection at home. I usually arrange photos and then decide to make it more live and start editing everthing in every folder that resides a god-forsaken photo. and then makes it as my desktop wallpaper for how many seconds.

I love to edit photos! However, I am not editing the whole picture because I don't want to appear it as unreal and too good to be true... I just do some enhancements like adjusting the lights and backgrounds to make it more presentable...
