No

No editing other than sharpening using standard sharpening tools and direct grey scale conversion is allowed.

I just clicked on the "Basic Editing" rules under the current challenge, and this is what it says:

You may not:
spot-edit your entry, except to remove sensor dust or hot pixels.

So it would seem that the answer to the OP's questions is yes. What am I missing?

Zal - The question was not about "Basic Editing", the question was about "Minimal Editing"

OK. but dust on the senser showing feels like something one NEEDS to hide.

Well, the way to deal with it in "minimal" is to have a very clean sensor.

The idea of "minimal" is "straight from the camera", so you'll have to adjust your settings to maximize the camera's ability to make the image you want to make - that would include making sure the sensor is clean.

Clean your sensor before you shoot, problem solved.

Then clean your sensor or hide the dust behind something dark in the image.

Not by a long shot.

:-D I was wondering how'd it work out in real world situations.

:( That's sad.

Another idea, besides "hiding" sensor spots, when you use shallow DOF sensor spots show up less, although you'd have to have the right picture for using shallow DOF.

Remember that you can't crop the image either.

We should just have a 'bot to search out any thread with the words "is" "minimal editing" and "allowed" and post the answer...."no".
