On the other side and for my personal taste I prefer the unmanipulated prints, well I understand for manipulate give a unreal appearance, i.e. Ansel Adams B&W prints they have a lot of work and manipulation but on other sense, for me they are unmanipulated. Everyone has his personal taste and it is always interesting know all points of vue, maybe this will conducts us to a philosophical question: WHAT IS BEAUTY. We have a personal education on determinate values that gives us the notion of what is esthetical and what not, we can appreciate more easy and more beauty for our education the Beethoven's music than the Oriental one. What would be happen if Digital was invented previously as chemical?, or Colour as B&W?, I think that it is very probably that our appreciation and perspective would be different on these cases, as it will be the new generation with photography.

I most respectfully disagree, but this is a personal view only. After many years of traditional darkroom work, including Cibachrome work, I find the new system of printing a joy. Imaging is only half done when the "shutter" button is pushed. The manipulation that is allowed me thru photoshop makes me extemely happy and satisfies my soul so that I may complete the image I first saw in my mind. vroger _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
