Unfortunately Flashman, and why I like the concept of a RAW category, EXIF data can be hacked/stripped/manipulated. It would be quite easy to enter a shot having made tweaks and the judging panel would be none the wiser.

If we supply a RAW, and have got aperture/shutter correct, used filters correctly, considered compoeition etc etc etc, we should be able to supply a good image even from a RAW file. The organisers could use the 'default' settings for shortlisting with standard sharpening etc and colour profile applied so each image gets the same treatment.

I think it's a good concept - just how to implelement it...?

Cheers
Andy
