Hi, Just want to give a shout out here. For this puzzle - even though I use hints and I would have never gotten it on my own, THIS is a good puzzle design with helpful hints.

Just being fair when the time warrants it smile

If you haven't guessed from the paraphernalia, your task is to do some photoshopping. Add something, subtract something.

"Start with 1" means exactly that: "start with 1", i.e., the frame with that number. Then burn and dodge (for non-photographers: add / subtract) as indicated. You'll have 10 letters in the end.

Look at the negatives carefully. You will be able to figure out you need letters.
First letter is C

Re: Comment

I understand this one. However, I do not get the -,+ parts. What am I adding after I subtract?

Furthermore, there are no - or + for the last 3 (starting with the 11 frame). Are those included in the solution to make a 13 letter word?

Thx.

To answer, I think, both queries: there are 13 +/- signs, and 13 frames. This is not a coincidence. smile
