I used Ansls Examples to define...PROCESSED and Unprocessed

In the digital age... far more can be ...and is regularly Processed..in FIne Art Photography.

by faked...I meant...simply Modified...the lighter image was not given the same processing sequence..as the more well known Darker..Higher Contrast Image.

In Ansels Day it was done in the Darkroom....today its done in Adobe Lightroon and Adobe Photoshop.

Ansel was a fan of those new fangled Scanners...when we last heard from him

Any of his images...digitally processed would be utterly stunning.

Not to slight his “eye nut he was the master of the darkroom

Ok, sorry to have taken you literally. I understand your point.

That guy was the best ever.

Photoshop is probably the best advancement in photography since safety film. The fact that many use it for evil is too bad. Ha ha.

I know a guy that was a professional photographer that had worked for a major newpaper in NJ. He did this for a living. Recently I was curious about a photograph that he had taken, which had been an office decoration at my old job. The original was actually located, but in the interim, the photographer was brought into the email conversation, and he said he certainly still has the negative, but... he has no darkroom anymore. Sacrificed to the digital age... which I got to see his transition to digital still photography equipment in the 1990s... but a photographer, without a darkroom? I just had no clue how to respond to that. I mean, isn't that like an mechanic without a wrench, an electrician without a pair of wire cutters, or a house framer without a hammer?

I guess I just have to look at it like an engineer without a sliderule, or a housewife without a sewing machine.
