Sally Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) probably, but another thread suggested a possibility to me. If one were at say, an olde worldly heritage type event, should Live News images always be in colour? Of course B&W can be a post processing transformation strictly speaking not allowed, but it could also be something done in camera. I am anticipating that the answer is that they should always be in colour. Edited April 12, 2019 by Sally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colblimp Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I'd say always in colour - the purchaser can change to B&W if it so wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) They shouldn't be altered in any way. Corrected for exposure etc, but not changed from what would be seen as a factual image. Quote 3) A true representation of what you saw Nothing should be added, removed or altered (e.g. the image should not be lightened/darkened in a way that changes sunny clouds into thunderous clouds).

James Bell Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Unfortunately, black and white images are not allowed for live news images, I had a couple removed when I tried it last year, and received an email to the same effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many old news images were B&W only and nothing in the image is being edited to change content. It would be unusual though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Rousseau Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Hello Sally, interesting question. I would have to agree with Coliblimp that the purchaser if needed could change it to B&W. I personally always use colour, very rarely have I seen B&W in present News Reportage.

vpics Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Should be in colour. You can always turn it into black & white for stock later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
