How do you, do yours

Its seems that we all have a slightly (or very) different approach to editing our photos.
Just wondering if anyone would be interested in uploading or linking a larger file size unedited shot and letting others edit it as they would if it was one of theirs to see how much of a difference there would be in the finished product.
Any thoughts ???

I like to think that one has an end vision in mind when they shoot the initial shot, but I do realise it's also a fairly blank canvas also. If someone uploads something then I'll probably give it a shot

Warmed up, straightened, slightly cropped, contrast and brightness adjusted with levels and given a fair degree of sharpening. All done in Photoshop CS5.
Best regards, John

Post a link to the RAW. There's not much that can be done with a pre-cooked JPEG.

Why not have a go anyway Steve, by the time it's posted on the forum it won't really make any difference. Unless of course you have something extremely complex in mind!

You can use a file sharing service or DropBox is you have an account.

John, I don't understand your logic. What has the time frame to do with anything?
As photographers and Pentax DLSR users, we owe it to ourselves to leverage the best out of our captures by always shooting then developing the RAW.

I wasn't talking about a time frame. I was just saying that once the image has been resized for the forum for us to see what's been done, it won't make any difference whether or not the original capture was RAW or JPEG. That's another debate of course on the larger scale of things, not for this thread, but all we can hope to see here is what people choose to do to the image.
