Subject: Re: Taking, Making, Creating Images
The only difference I see is that this sort of post exposure creative work is
now simpler and more accessible for people, and that errors can be fixed with
Ctrl-Z, instead of binning the print and starting again.
The big difference is that now, because manipulation can be done so seamlessly and so easily, it is far easier for real dishonesty to slip past peoples conciousness, and be mistaken for truth.
Image manipulation isn't just about removing a few blemishes from a face, or cleaning up a stray beer can that some pig left in your landscape scene, it can also be about manipulating the "reality" that people see, quite often for less than seemly reasons.
