OK....we are in agreement.  Christopher Burkett is an idiot.  ;- )

It reminds me of the old joke:
Guy in hotel offers a sweet young thing a million dollars to 'sleep' him.
She replies affirmatively.
then guy changes hi mind as says, how about $20?
She replies, "What kind of a girl do you think I am?"
He replies, " We already *know* what kind of a girl you are....We are just negotiating price now"  ;- )

If it's ok to do prints from an 'original', do contrast masks and whatever, it seems odd that it's not ok to
do the same via digital reproduction...we already know what kind of a guy he is,........... ;- )
