frowned upon by who? There are some "purists" out there but I don't think there is a single regular at this forum that frowns on digital manipulation. In the end it's the image that matters and if it looks good who gives a flying f#@% how you achieved it.Vestal said:...darkroom manipulation of black and white is fine but digital manipulation is sort of frowned upon?
A lens flare added in photoshop does not look realistic so to most people (including me) it just looks stupid. Compositing images is not an easy chore. It takes a lot of work to make a believable photo. When it looks fake, it looks cheesy IMO.photong said:say someone wants lens flare in the image...but they don't do it in camera, but they do it in photoshop..that pisses me off.

photogoddess said:I tend to view photoshop as being very similar to a darkroom, just without the chemicals and safelights.

Digital Matt said:There's no undo button, but you can develop from the same negative as many times as you want. If you screw up you can always try again. Just takes longer than hitting undo
photogoddess said:for me personally, digital gave me a renewed interest in film and photography in general.
well said manksmattfish said:Does any of this really matter? Absolutely not. Do what you need to do, and don't worry about what anyone else says. The most important piece of equipment is you the photographer.
i'm feeling this too. i'm working on my entry to a WV state parks photo contest... one of the rules is *in a big booming voice* "no editing"AlisonS said:I've always thought that Photoshop was the equilivient to a digital darkroom. I've never really understoond the debate of whether to use editing software for photos. It would be like taking the standard shot of the negative and not using darkroom techniques to enhance it.
