Thank you, Olivier, Chrissy, Kort and girsempa...

Guys, I don't how different people can think or thinking.. But postwork to me means the following:

1- Image retouching
2- Colours, tones, levels, saturations enhancement
3- Adding a filter or two at max to sharpen or focus blur the image

Now i noticed that, many members either here or in a different places thinks that manipulation is a postwork! I totally don't agree with that! Because manipulating is a manipulating... When people seach for job as a graphic designers.. I am pretty sure that they come a cross a job as : WE NEED MANIPULATOR! Graphic, Audio or Video!

And @ Rich, what you presented here, is a manipulation 100% and not a postwork, unless postwork means to you manipulation! That is what the mixmedium and i also doubt that defenition!

I can tell that... Enhancement/Postwork is needed to improve the shot to the taste of the artist and the viewer!

Manipulation is a totally different type of art and still has its lovers!

So what you guys think?

Thank you and regards
