Like many others I like to take screenshots now and then. Sometimes I let my PC
go backwards in front of a companion in order to get pictures of the action when
a foe turns up. (takes a lot of beating) I also like to take "portraits" of my PC and
the companions. I prefer to take my screenshots in places with good light conditions
but all pictures can be improved with a little work in Photoshop (or other programs)
In fact I like working in Photoshop and enjoy the results.
Now to my question : Is it considered bad practice to upload improved screenshots
in the Image Share section ?
I would like to know before I upload some - to avoid bad feelings.

Absolutely not. As long as the shots pertain to the Elder Scrolls, you're fine. Your artistry may be judged, of course. Happy sharing.

It's an interesting point though. Not that I want to give DarkOne more headaches by suggesting another catagorization but it would be good to have pics tagged as Photoshopped or not. There are real skills to both but I find it much more of a buzz to make and see images that have been captured using the game alone, cos anyone can do it as long as they have Oblivion and can take a screenie. If I was a ninja-demon Photoshopper with more free time I'd probably try those spectacular images myself. I mean a lot of them are incredible. I just like the fun and surprise of what some people find without needing mad PS skills. Each to their own though. There's room for it all.
