Ha. It's not difficult to see the photoshopping in reggie's latest photos
of his trip. In some of the photos, the "natural lighting" is a dead
giveaway of photoshopping. You don't have to be an expert in photoshop to
see it overused; you just have to have spent some time outdoors in
daylight.



You know, who cares if they are photoshopped or not? Apparently only you.
Your complaint is that you don't believe in photoshopping a picture.
You have stated several times that you prefer "natural" as it would be in
nature.

Fine. Works for you.

As probably the least qualified person here with a camera, I see photography
as an artform as well as a means of accurately capturing and image as it
would appear in nature. In other words, I can appreciate a modified image
that has been enhanced for effect and mood. It doesn't always have to be
accurate to nature in order to appreciate the expression of the picture as
influenced by the originator in photoshop.

So, what's the big deal? Different strokes for different folks, that's
all.

It's not the photoshopping per se, it's the obviousness of overdoing it
I find distasteful except when it is done for a transparently bizarre
effect, like turning a sky green or suchlike. A little cleanup here, a
little touchup there, no problemo. You want to remove shadows under the
eyes or blemishes on the cheeks, hey, go for it. You want to slightly
lighten a dark hillside so some details show, great. I like subtle
touches. I prefer Mozart to Wagner.

I've seen lots of fabulous photos that have been photoshopped. But they
don't look photoshopped. That's the point, I think. Unless he/she is
going for the bizarre, a photographer skilled in photoshop produces
final images that don't look photoshopped.

You really, truly are dense.

If I were "right up there with Bush and Cheney," I'd still be supporting
their abortion of a war against Iraq. D'oh.

Just drawing a parallel that between your claim that Bush and Cheney are
draft dodgers just like you. Nothing more nothing less. You are in good
company.

Now you've done it Krause. You have crossed the line. Your insults won't
go unrewarded.
BTW I found your connection to Yale. Turns out your high school was
once on the campus of Yale. It had to be moved off campus due to
expansion. Perhaps you were duped into thinking you attended Yale. Eh?

Sorry, bozo, the high school *I* attended was never located anywhere
other than where it was when I went there. There was a previous high
school with the same name as my high school, but *it* was demolished
before I was of high school age, to make room for the later construction
of two residential colleges at Yale.

Actually, there were two high schools on that old site, the one mine was
named after, and a technical-vocational high school.

You are about as adept a "research" as Loogy the Idiot.

So, what were you doing when you got drafted?

Did you notice that he has given up on his story about graduating from Yale?
