I am NOT a Photoshop expert. In fact I had never scanned a photo before two weeks ago, and only have Photoshop Elements which I have very limited expertise with. That said, I don't limit my view of photography by expecting that what I see in a photo is exactly what was there. There are many great photographs that were enhanced by use of filters and traditional darkroom techniques. I don't see Photoshop or it's competitors as different than that, they've just gone another step. In fact photographers like Jerry Uelsmann have done very altered realities for many years without using a computer to do so (check out www.uelsmann.net for examples). I still see this kind of work as photography. - ------------------ Well then, given that you have been scanning and using Photoshop elements for two full weeks, and given the fact that you consider a cut and paste image of lips emerging from a dirt road a "photographs," I guess there's really nothing I can add to the discussion.;-) B.
