I would say digitally speaking "No postwork" means no PSP or Photoshop, including sharpening and borders. I think you could resize and that would not be considered postwork as you have a certain file size limit here to adhere to. Now as far as 35mm goes, I'm not sure what to say as touching up in the darkroom is postwork.... BUT... you actually don't have an image until you print it do you!? I would say posting an "as is" image (dust spots and all)scanning the original negative or slide, would be considered no post work. This is just my two cents. And of course once again you could resize. I personally would consider anything postwork that would be adding something more from the image then is there (clone brushing, layers etc.) or taking anything more from the image then is there (cropping out things). OK MGD Let's hear what you have to say! This is a rather interesting topic even if it doesn't become the challenge for the month, the end result will be pure photographic art, and as scary as that may seem, you may actually surprise yourself with what you can do with limited tools.
