Having seen, for example, some of Christians U/W pics - as well as those
taken by folks like, Viv, Bjorn, John Nitrox, Crusty, et al - I have some
hesitancy about the validity of enhancing some of the digital pics that I've
taken over the past few weeks. (Even assuming that I can master how to do
it!) :-)

Is it acceptable to use, for example, Adobe Photo Shop, to remove specks of
particulate matter in the water so that it's possible to get a more
realistic image of a fish, (or whatever)?  And having done that, to remove
background images that detract from the main subject matter? :-)

The shots that I have in mind are not 'Great' pictures in terms of creative
effort, but they'll look a hell of a lot better in terms of using them as an
I.D. index without the distractions that the heavy February rains have
brought to the waters around our part of the coastline.  :-)

Advice and comments will be most welcome.  :-)
