Re-editing others' pictures
Personally, I have no objection to people editing and showing their changes and suggestions to my work. On a few occassions I have been very grateful for it.
It certainly seems tactful to post a link but I voted yes to the first question. It'll be interesting to what the general view is.

I wouldn't post if I didn't want this to happen.
If an image is there then a reasonable assumption is that it could be altered to show a point. It's courtesy to ask first, but hey...
Otherwise why post?
K110+DA40, K200+DA35, K3 and a bag of lenses, bodies and other bits.
Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...
PPG entries.

I've received c+c, and had pictures adjusted by others to show the difference.

Couldn't have put it better.
Sometimes I get lost with the explanation, then someone does it and posts the results and suddenley I know what they are saying.
To be honest, speaking for myself, you don't even need to ask first. I ask for C&C and am willing to accept it in any form.

The poll doesn't suggest where we are taking the photos from.
I think it would be OK to do this in "Your Photos" where, I think we agree, the emphasis is on C&C, but it wouldn't be so acceptable to do this with images in "The Gallery".
(IMHO)

I think most people have the common sense to realise why and see the benefits of this process, I cant honestly see why anyone would object, but there are some strange folk about so theres bound to be the occasional complainant.
I guess most are happy with constructive critism, a bit of tuition and encouragement, just occaisionally it appears a little harsh, this maybe more to do with the 'tone' and personalities. The existing system suits me fine A picture paints a thousand words
Other stuff includes Programme A, Takumar 70-200mm, Rollei Prega 145AF - Still in its box, Pentax Zoom 105R,Olympus OM2n,a Fuji Digital Finepix.
I normally use common sense - if the poster is asking for C&C and it is apparent they can take the suggestions (and assuming I can improve it), then I go ahead. No one has complained yet in all my years of doing this, but if they did then I'd remove the mod immediately.
Now ePHOTOzine has the ability to provide modded images (though the original poster has to be an e2 member and enable the flag to allow mod updates) I haven't done quite so many as in years past...

(For gallery, tips and links)
TBH I find links a bit of a bind as I'm looking at so many posts that the slightest delay and detour starts to add up the time spent....my goodness how our sense of time has changed since the Royal Mail was the only way!

I'll usually post the edited version as a [link], not an [IMG], since I tend to feel that it's potentially a bit intrusive to post another immediately visible picture on someone's thread, but I'm not sure if I'm concerned unnecessarily.
