Well untill we get response from more than three people, nothing is going to change, because honestly I feel it enhances the image no more than adjusting the colours does, so perhaps we should just allow pictures staight from the camera, no editing at all.
An example of how much color adjustments effect the photo(Julius I'm going to use your photos hope you dont mind):
now that is just as much of an impact as a border IMO and both can be done in photoshop or the "developmental process"
But if the majority of you don't want them allowed than we can not allow them.
