However, Bruce has opened a whole new debate: where does skill end and technology begin? Unless the photographer goes out with a basic camera and uses judgement for all settings, he is starting to rely on technology. It is, therefore just a matter of degree. As modern photographers using a digital site, we must accept that images will be manipulated.

Mike I am bit hazy about "to remove OK and to add is forbidden" As far as I remember manipulation of images were being done since ages i.e. before computer has come into being. Only the differance is, that time it was tedious ,you have to have mastery in darkroom processes beside knowing your camera. What is importent at this juncture ,the proper use of technology.A through professional knows the dividing line between legal and illegal act.He maintains that line respectfully.For he knows his images has to pass the information accuratly & effectively.A very fine balancing act.
