But I think seeing an image as either a color or black and white image is a far cry from playing games with turning things into duotones, etc. And I know that you know that it is quite different. In almost all cases, producing a duotone from a color or BW image would not, prior to the advent of PS, have been something a photographer would have done, but would have been done by a printer - as in a printing press printer. Sure, you could tone in the darkroom, but again, this is a different matter. Look, you've decided that you want to use multiple images to produce a single image. Obviously, your art is your art. I'm just saying that I don't consider that to be "photography." (And yes, I know that one of Eugene Smith's iconic images was produced by sandwiching two negatives; I also know that today he'd be instantly fired for doing that. ;-)) Best B.
