Want to show the "real" beauty. The beauty of their "real" colors. But then, there are times i do some "adjustments". Editing or filtering. Reading an articles in how some bloggers filter or edit their photos instagram, and it made.me think something. I know they want us to see how beautiful their photos are. Especially with food, it had to really look delish. With that, i know they are being paid for it so will just leave that. Me... Have to keep it raw.and real. Do you edit or filter your photos.to make it morr beautiful?

I put on watermark most of the time. Sometimes I edit sometimes I don't. It rally depends on the picture since there are those which will look better not to.

I don't have time to edit/filter photos. The most I do is just add my name to the photo only so no one steals it.

I would keep it as is as much as possible unless there is something really unsightly that has to be edited.

I freely admit that I have done that, unless I'm photographing something to sell. I won't retouch any of those pics. People need to see what they are buying. But everything else is fun to play with! :)

Yes on instagram. But only to make the colors of the picture more captivating, but not really to edit. The picture above made me hungry. What do you call those stalks again?

Yup... I edit some of my photos. Like my avatar here. Hihihihi But not to make it more beautiful, I had to hide something. LOL and I blurred it also a little. Hahaha I also edit some of the photos of flowers that I had taken before, to emphasize the subject or to make the color more vibrant.
