I was speaking from my perspective as a nature photographer and I know that's a narrow viewpoint. I definitely do remember a lot of cloning, pasting and whatall in some threads. That's the manipulation that I find objectionable. I certainly understand the benefits of being able to eliminate skin blemishes in portraits and I'd be deep into digital photography if I made my living shooting portraits. > You must not have paid much attention to the earlier threads. No I admittedly haven't. I tend to ignore digital threads. There doesn't seem to be much else on this list lately.
