No, the "has to be real" principle is full of holes and full of shit.
The advocates are only opposed to computer manipulation. Any other
method of altering reality is okay. That's nonsense.

Hmmm. What about when we make a blue sky gray by using BW film?
That's drastically altering the image. And how about that green grass
that turns gray as well? Of course infra-red film is strictly out of
the question. It will rearrange all the values. Cross processing?
Forget about it. Polarizing filters? Pro-mist filters? They're all
dishonest. Scandalous. HAR! Such bullcocky.
Paul, I'm gonna call you on this one.
Yer full of shit.
Sorry, it's the old me sneaking out.
