Digital BW, The Print

But what do you do when you see a beautiful pictorial image with a very
obvious rule that was broken? Suppose you had a very smooth gray sky,
but the right corner was much too light. You KNOW it's supposed to be
uniform across the print, but there it is... the corner is a full stop
lighter than the rest of the sky. It would make a beautiful picture a
very average one, and you'd wonder why it wasn't even. You'd ask why in
the world the prints maker didn't burn it in.
