I've been in a slight quandry, trying to decide if color correction of digital images is cheating. I originally felt that it was, but then I realized that the Kodak Sea Processing is digital manipulation in the processing of photo negatives, so if that's not cheating, then your own digital modifications aren't cheating.
But is any digital manipulation cheating? What about digital filters... e.g. if I set my camera up to enhance the reds and yellows when taking the shot... is that digital manipulation, or is that just using a filter?
I've not done any pictures with color correction from inside the camera, but this is what I have from the picture I took [due to a vast amount of backscatter I had turned off the flash, and this is the first shot without the flash...
