* Digitally Altered images are those that have used digital manipulation using the following methods:

- Excessive dodging and burning
- excessive color saturation
- filtering using solarization, mezzotint and duotone
- stitched panoramas
- high dynamic range (HDR) images


If any of these methods have been used, you have to state this in your submitted information and state that they fall within the "digitally altered" category. If judges see excessive manipulation of a photo and it has not been designated as a "digitally altered" image, it will be judged under the "digitally altered" category.
