I've had a very interesting discussion with an art gallery owner. She told me that anything that's been on the computer is NOT art and that she will NEVER have any kind of "computer 'art' " in her gallery, even if you scan in a painting and then print it out, she will not allow it in her gallery. I've noticed this is not an argument that will ever win, only raise blood pressures, so I just let her rant on (secretly laughing at her in my mind *eville grin)

I believe people like this (and there's a lot of them out there) are stubborn and traditionalists. People of ignorance because they've never had the experience of doing something in photoshop, or a program like it. These people are much like the people who said movies with sound isn't a real movie. Or people who said using colored cameras instead of black and white cameras isn't real photography.

These people are afraid of change and new technologies, and will cling onto what they know to already work, without giving a chance to new things. Give us another decade and we'll be the ones saying the next medium of art isn't real art because it's not done with photoshop :P
