Category talk:Doctored Images

What
What exactly is this. 06:34, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

Images that have somehow been altered/cleaned/stretched in an image altering program. Read more about it in the image guidelines.

That would be almost every manga image on here, to name a few. It's not like this is something found in only a select few images. 07:03, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

Of the new stuff you just made, I can see this as being the least useful. It would be the same as making a category called "images showing the color red". You know not every image has red in it, but a lot of them do, and it's not a critical factor. 07:07, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I agree. Really no point in this one. 07:27, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

I said read the image guidelines. Cropped images are allowed, images that count as doctored images are images that are too far from the original.

For example this would count as a doctored image since it has been cleaned, the text in the speech bubble has been erased, filters has been added and therefore counts as a doctored image.

If you're having trouble finding the rule, Image_Guidelines.

Don't remember that ever being voted on when we did image voting rules. SeaTerror (talk) 09:24, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

Well it's there so I guess you're going to have to open a forum if you want to complain on it.

Read the link that's in the image guidelines sewil. Doctored images in this case describes blatantly edited/manipulated pictures. It doesn't refer to slightly fixed images. Pointless category. 11:31, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

Removing text inside speech bubbles is doctoring an image. I don't see what you're referring to.

Example from the very same article, refinement and cleaning via an image alteration program is doctoring an image.

Ok, I don't think we need a category for images that have just been cleaned. I don't see how that's helpful for us, especially when most cleaned images just get replaced with better raws/anime images later anyways (not to mention all the images that won't have the category removed when the images are changed). A potentially helpful use of the category would be for images like which feature obvious alterations that are in violation of the guidelines. 17:28, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

JSD, images that violate the guidelines like that just end up getting deleted, and we already have a category for it anyway. So unless someone has an actual reason to keep this, I'm going to delete it. 17:33, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

Fine. Delete it. I thought it'd be a good addition to the category section.
