Good Evening JetPhotos Members,
Recently a well known JetPhotos photographer chose to adjust the attitude of a landing aircraft artificially in order to become more dramatic. This was discovered after acceptance and the photo was removed and the photographer reminded, politely, of our rules.
Unfortunately more uploads were then noted with considerable modification that met our definition of digital manipulation. As a result we had no choice but to advise the photographer that he could no longer upload at JetPhotos, a disappointing result.
We feel it is a timely reminder that our expectation is that photos of aircraft on our site are as they were seen by the photographer on the day. Whilst processing of the frame is expected, artificially adjusting colour, aircraft state, registrations or other gross changes cannot be tolerated.
Unfortunately this means that some frames can simply not be accepted to this site. If you take a photo of a subject only to find it is too low in the frame to be accepted simply do not upload it rather than cloning in more foreground at the bottom of the frame!
Feel free to remove dust spots, but do not manipulate the content of the frame!
Thank you.

6.4 Manipulation
Altering of colors, other than adjusting the histogram and contrast is not accepted, for example: giving the sky a yellow cast to fake a sunset sky.
Black and white photos are only allowed on
* scans of B/W negatives/slides
* vintage aircraft or "vintage look alikes", i.e. retro painting schemes, replicas, etc.
Any other colour altering, including fake skies, inverting of colours, etc. is not allowed.
Any other altering during the editing process will be rejected, this means adding things that were not originally in the picture or removing significant elements of the shot. Recent examples are: addition of glare effects, altering of regs, etc.
