I partially disagree. Virtually anything you can do in photoshop you can
do
with film. Multiple exposures, filters (look at what ND or graduated
filters can do, or polarizers), perspective lenses, fish-eye lenses,
or I can even print out a cutout of myself and add it to the set,
making it look like there are two or more of me. Yes, in its very
essence, the photo is a direct and "true" capture of the light that
made it past the lens, but the light can be manipulated to tell a
different story than what our eyes perceive to be there, i.e. filters
or polarizers.
Yes but...
It's easier to tell a lie with Photoshop than it is to tell a lie in the the
darkroom.
Or, I suppose, it's easier to tell a real whopper with Photoshop compared to
what you can do in the darkroom.
