Louise, I agree completely, and I've used Photoshop for some of the same reasons you have - most importantly personally to improve the legibility of scans of many 19th and early 20th century family letters and other documents. The program helped enormously in scanning the journal kept by one of my German Texan ancestors as he came across the Atlantic from Bremen in 1850. The seas, unfortunately, must have gotten rough because he abandoned the journal well before reaching New Orleans. And of course Photoshop is wonderful for restoring old pictures!

If you worked in desktop publishing as I do and had to make publishable photos out of other people's c*** or if you needed to restore fragile family photos, tintypes, etc, that are just barely visible because of time or deterioration, you'd fall on your knees and kiss the feet of whoever invented Photoshop. Maybe it's not right for you or for your particular application, but for those of us who do need it, it's the only thing that will work. Perhaps NSS just ought to ban enhanced photos in the competition. Or limit enhanced photos to another category. Louise >
