Hi Herb,

I won't disagree that some photos may in fact "work better" manipulated in
PS, and there was nothing that could be done in exposure etc. to make it
"work" as well...no doubt.  It's the artist's choice, as it's the artist's
vision to do what ever s/he wants to present the vision s/he is trying to
present...but...I also believe that at least some (if not a lot) of the
"manipulations" done in PS could be obviated by some up-front work when
taking the picture.

Again, that, in no way, makes me biased against PS.  It's nothing but yet
another tool.  Some tools can be over/miss-used...and some tools can be very
appropriately used.

Regards,

Austin
