Digital BW, The Print

If there is one clear message in this thread, it's time for the FTC and Congress to step in and clean this mess up.  As a collector of art, I have a right to know which filter was used, what was placed on Zone III, whether a Windsor brush was used or some cheap imitation, and so on.  Then I can make an informed decision as to whether it's art or not.  Isn't that reasonable?

  Richard,

  I think most people can tell when a filter has been used...  One issue I
  have with PS manipulation, is believing what I'm seeing.  With a simple
  filter, I know that it's merely a tonal shift...with PS, the envelope is
  wide open.

  Regards,

  Austin
