Agreed. Well put.

I recall saying in one of the other threads that it is a question of what is being claimed for the image, not the image itself.

Then there were the complaints about the images coming out of Lebanon last year, where some were saying that smoke had been darkened, flames brightened, toys placed in and amongst rubble.

I am following this thread with a great interest.So many views and perceptives,I amazed to know what other think about the issue..??.Now many questions which use to bother me a lot.Is being answered.Previously when I click a snap I do not bother ,I was havily dependent on PS.Now I am more restrained.I work hard on my picture.Change in mindset,isn't it?

Getting it right in-camera has always been time well-spent. It used to save film wastage and reshoots, now it saves time in front of the monitor!:)
