We have discussed post processing in previous years. We try to obtain the photos
that we want without using AI, adding or subtracting objects, changing sky colors or
major changes. We do allow for lightening or darkening areas and minimal removal of
objects. This purpose is to learn all the functions of our camera and utlitlize our
skills with composition, color, subject matter and use of light. If we would like to
experiment with AI, stacking or merging photos and double exposures, we can have
a presentation and special group competitions if the club wishes.
