to crop or not to crop....

hey guys
the criteria for the cinical photography assignment states we are not to submit edited pics - does this include flipping the lateral views taken in the mirror??
are we allowed to crop the pics to remove the outer edges??
i agree with u Acacsia - i had Dr Lew the dentist on board on fri help me take pics on my pt, very time consuming (A LOT longer than 10 mins!) and the pt found them quite uncomfortable as only 4 weeks ago her jaw was dislocated from having 4 x exos of her 8's... how's my timing!!
if anyone knows about the cropping let me know
xx Amy

Hi Amy.

I'm pretty sure that 'computer edited format' includes cropping the image. I think Sophie wants to see how well we can frame the image without needing to edit it via computer. As for flipping the mirror shots, I didn't even know people did that! You're guess is as good as mine but I'll play it safe and leave them exactly as they were when I took the photo.

Photos after exo's and a jaw dislocation?! That's one tough patient Amy!

Hope that helps.

Hi Guys

Nick your right on the ball with the above comments. It is about how well you can frame the shot without editing.

Good luck
