LUG:

They are having a very interesting discussion over on the PI list 
about a photographer whose work was rejected in the Picture of the 
Year contest in Denmark.  The judges thought he used too much 
photoshop based on the difference between the photos he submitted and 
the RAW file.  The photographer argues that a RAW file is not really 
indicative of what the scene looks like without being converted and 
that the appearance of the submitted files depends on which software is used.

This is relevant because he uses a Leica M8.  The photographer says 
he is going to give up and just submit black and white photos from 
now on.  Conversion to B&W - the ultimate in manipulation?
