Hey all, seeing as how it's been a bit quiet here the last few days, why not start some dialogue?
The last couple of weeks here witnessed a hearty debate on manipulation of images. "Photoshop" has, whether we like it or not, become an indispensible tool. Photographers everywhere, including this cantankerous old fool, seemed to have embraced the tool. Obviously, Photoshop, and other image-editing programs, are here to stay.
So what is our direction? Where is this technology taking photography? What is acceptable/unacceptable? (aside from the obvious) What effect will digital imaging have on us prior to pressing that shutter? How will our [automobile] photography benefit from these innovations?
Just some thoughts/questions. This could end up a dead thread, who knows. But if it gets y'all thinking . . .
