== Removing a section from [[Howto:Make_nice_screenshots#Colors_and_whitebalance|Make nice screenshots]] page ==
Hi Johan, what do you think about removing altogether the following section of the [[Howto:Make_nice_screenshots#Colors_and_whitebalance|Make nice screenshots]] page: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:Make_nice_screenshots#Colors_and_whitebalance
IMO, it is a very bad idea to urge users to enhance their screenshots with GIMP or Photoshop in order to "improve" them, as this will result in screenshots that do not reflect what can be achieved in FG. I don't think screenshots are by any standard the same thing as photography, and the only result of these tweaked screenshots will be false advertisement from our part. Nothing against users doing it by themselves if they want to, but "officially" supporting it is a bad idea to me. I also would be careful not to use altered screenshots in our articles the most we can for the same reasons above.
See the discussion in our forum starting with this post: http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=27674&p=262281#p262271
