My point is it doesn't take a computer program to print a picture dark. That's basic darkroom or prepress or press. But it's somehow thought of as computer manipulation. We need to think of a better example of computer manipulation. The pyramids fill that bill perhaps. You would have a hard time shifting those pyramids around by moving the paper under the enlarger. Might not look right. And I wasn't saying what Time did was OK. It just wasn't a good example of computer manipulation: A dark print! There is no Dark filter! There are controls. Like you say There are curves, there are levels, there is the old fashion Brightness/Contrast control like on a TV, there are the Variations control. Mark Rabiner
