Re: Polarizer

I agree.  The filter removes information coming into the image plane, if 
you dont filter it, once the unfiltered light gets blended in, there is 
no information in the bits that say: this bit is polarized at such and 
such angle.  Photoshop stuff is a fudge at best to duplicate the look. 
Color filterization simulation is easier in photoshop, but at the 
expense of noise, a real filter is still better.

It can be done, not so sure how easy it is .... depends on one's
skill and
which version of PS is being used.  I've got a tutorial on it in
one of the
PS books, but never tried it.

I can see it for large areas, such as a window, but not for
complicated scenes.
Too much fiddling, not enough photography.
I realize that there is a whole contingent of people out there who
try to find a software solution to everything (The "don't worry if
the shot is buggered up, we'll fix it later in Photoshop" mentality),
but really, there are better solutions out there.
I think the best solution is to shoot it right in the first place.
If the scene needs polarization, then the camera needs a polarizing
filter.
That's just what I think.
