You couldn't do it in Photoshop. In fact he accused those who used photoshop of fixing up their images to hide their sloppy technique. If it wasn't ignorant, it was at least naive, and more importantly it was NOT said in the tone of discussion but of assertion. It was pretty insulting to anyone who prides themselves on their craft AND uses a scanner and an inkjet. People got upset: big surprise. - -- Johnny Deadman http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
