Make your photos exhibition ready: adjust levels, curves, color balance, and other essential settings to produce the best looking images. Rotate photos if needed and crop all unnecessary parts keeping in mind not to affect the composition. (Up-sizing of the image needs to be done carefully; some artifacts may get added due to interpolation.) 06.

Morphed photographs (alteration in original composition by adding subjects/entities) and digital manipulation will not be allowed.
