although the line can be subtle at times between photographic correction/adjustment and manipulation, there is a distinct diference between "look at what i saw" and "look at what i made"
the more we are willing to consider manipulation a'la photoshop as actual photography. the less believeable the art of true photography will become.
I wouldnt consider rubber stamping away stray reflections or small flaws, nor healing away that stray coke can that is marring the pristine beauty of an otherwise clean shot manipulation. that would fall under corrections and post shot editing.
im thinking about manipulation being the importation of multiple elements and combining them into one image.
I recall some stink a while back involving some Reuters "photographs" in the news
that said, I want to work for "the weekly world news" or some other yellow newspaper, have you seen the manip quailty there? its like they use photocopies and razorblades.
may we have a manipulation gallery Man1c?
