What I meant is that tilting in the darkroom is bad (for photojournalists, at least). In other words, the tilt of the photo (as taken) must be left as is. No "straightening horizons" or otherwise changing tilt after the fact. If you ~took~ the photo tilted, that's okay. Hell, I do it all the time! <vbg> But then again, I'm not a professional journalist. BTW, that tilting rule was one that I read on another list somewhere. I personally would view it the same as cropping (ie: okay, but I'd choose not to do it myself). cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
