This sounds like it's coming from a computer guru rather than a photographer. I heard things like this a lot in early Photoshop classes I attended that were taught by graphic artists.
They simply wanted material to work with to exercise the abilities of Photoshop.. Upon reading the entire article in Luminous Landscape, I get a more balanced view of what the author is trying to bring across. Kenneth Waller -----Original Message----- Subject: Taking, Making, Creating Images The Luminous Landscape has an article by Pete Myers on the value of post-production editing for photographers: "What I am suggesting is that the real power of photography in our modern digital age is in using the computer in making an image... I really don't care all that much about what the picture looks like that I took in the field — I care about what I can make of the image in postproduction. Certainly that does not excuse me from doing my best in taking a picture in the field, but the point is what happens in the field is not an end all – it's a beginning." Any comments on this?
