If used strictly for news reporting, the processing would not be allowed.
If done for artistic or aesthetic reasons then the processing enhances the visual experience and conveys the essence of the photo message.

From what I've seen, Marc should offer seminars on PP this kind of work..hint.

But its expensive to offer seminars on TPF .. that's why there have been so few lately.
