"Thank heavens that skill and creative input still have their place and value!" But these are slowly disappearing! Being in the retouching/comping side for thirty years, the last 12 years I have obviously seen great changes! We had to go the digital route back in the late 80's.. A lot of retouchers/photocompers lost their work! Photoshop and hardware get faster, better and cheaper. A lot more retouchers/photocompers loose there jobs! Photographers start retouching as do Repro houses, designers and even art directors. Now the agencies are setting up their own retouching, printing and indeed digital photographic studios! The quality that was always demanded is now not often seen. I see that all the time. As an art director told me once.. We will shoot, retouch and proof in house, and save a fortune. So where will it all end? I think that "skill and creative input as well as experience" are very important, but more people are doing it themselves.. Very badly.
