Mark, 

That's fine for you. I'm agree with when you say that maybe is more than a
darkroom. But, simultaneously is less than a darkroom if possibilities given
by some programs are not correctly used. And sometimes abused.
I'd say that a darkroom would be as truthful, reliable to play in but with
Photoshop it would need to be very careful not to be overphotshopped.
Possibilities ? what's the possibility of ruining a photo in the darkroom ?
Almost any... while in Photoshop one can ruin an image very easily.
I do work with Photoshop and rarely and maybe never I
burn/dodge/darken/lighten.
I find Photoshop very useful to work with layers, and some things that would
take a lot of time to do in the conventional darkroom.

And, let me recall you that the Universe you're talking about would rather
be found in our own minds. Otherwise there's no program to serve us.
And I see the problem with some software is to make people things they can
think better. Absolutely unceratin.

I look forward for your reply.

Saludos
