Then you might not have not judged fairly. I would believe judges
should be aware of the rules, from irtc:

=======================================================
Images must not be enhanced or altered ('post-processed') by use of
paint programs such as PhotoShop(tm) etc. There are exceptions to
this rule:

You may convert images to JPEG format.

You may add text information (name, title, email address, copyright.
etc...) to your image.

You may gamma-correct and contrast/brightness adjust the image.
