One more factoid about the "straightness" of Ansel Adams' photography...
he didn't always stop at tonal corrections. For example, from a picture
of the Sierras at Lone Pine he removed a large "LP" from a foothill,
probably put there by the local high school as they tend to do in small
western towns. I believe he spotted it out of the prints rather than by
darkroom manipulation. Can there be any doubt that he'd have used the
Photoshop clone tool if he'd had it?
