Time for a new image and time to test out some new editing skills. Download the image from the members area and edit the portrait using any software editing program. Make sure you upload your completed EDI before the end of April. All members will have a chance to vote and the top 3 winners will be announced. Give it a try, this exercise is available to all members.

Last month images of “Catho jetty” are now available for all members to view and score. Take a look, just follow the blue scoring button next to “March Raw Image Challenge” and you can be a judge. Just make sure you score 12/12 images so your vote counts.
