Someone asked the question on how much I edit the images published on here, which doesn’t have a straightforward answer! It depends! It depends on the size and quality of the original, but my view is that I only restore or enhance, but not alter. Most of the time it’s restoring colour, removing blemishes and scratches and tweaking highlights and contrast and re-sizing if they are large files. Overall, nothing that drastically alters the context of the original.
I’ll use another June Palmer shot as an example.
The original image scanned directly from a 120 film negative
My Edit – A slight crop of the image, colours enhanced and restored & a few scratches removed and that is it!
The purists will say don’t mess with the original, but I prefer the colours in my edit!
The image is another JP original from John W of June as Joanna Kent in strawberry blonde wig on the beach and I love it! I think it’s the pose and June’s bum!
