You think you're joking, Philippe - just a couple of hours ago I was
skimming a column in a national press photographer's association magazine in
which a photography teacher at, as I recall, the University of Arkansas said
that they are now two years past the last class of graduates to have ever
spent time in a real darkroom. And that, he said, begins to raise havoc with
what has been the standard ethical guideline regarding the use of photoshop
- only do to the image in photoshop what you would normally have done in a
darkroom; or only except from a photoshopped image what you would have
accepted from the darkroom. But if today's photographers think a darkroom is
their bedroom with the lights off....
