My dear friend Mr. Tobias. The stone bridge pictures are true images. One
was taken in B&W the other in color negative Royal Select 200 with a
polarizer. There was no manipulation of any sort. In fact, I stated in one
of my previous posts to Dave that image Places 6 - 5 was most definitely not
a true representation. It was a totally overexposed image. But with my
Nikon Scanner & PS I was able to resurrect it. It definitely is not
something that I regard as worthy of praise!
The Point Wolfe image is precisely what I saw and photographed, albeit a
complete amateur more than 10 years ago and still so today with a lowly OMG!
I'm dismayed that you should revile my images with such absolute certainty
that they were manipulated.
With regard to the use of photoshop, the only "manipulation" I have
performed is to resize, sharpen and save as a JPEG.
I am certainly not above objective criticism but to state that I have
perpetuated a fraud upon the group ... you go to far!

Subject: Re: [OM] OM Photos for your critique
Ron!
You have shot some nice pictures. I especially like the nature images in
fog.
HOWEVER.
Seeing your pictures, I'm surprised that the rest of the list doesn't react!
You have manipulated most of your pictures using Photoshop, right?
For instance:
http://caesar.bizland.com/places/stonebrdg.jpg
http://caesar.bizland.com/places/stnbrdg.jpg
These are both the same image, but edited with a program like Photoshop. The
colored one has been changed quite a lot, I think.
I think it's a bit unethical to edit the images like you do - without
telling the audience, that what they are seeing, isn't the original, but a
fake one.
I like this image, but did it really look like this in the original version?
http://caesar.bizland.com/places/ptwolfe.jpg
I suspect that you have edited the saturation... Makes the image so much
better. Lack of colour...
A couple of eamples above.
Still one has to have a good image to work with from the start, else the
result will not be good, nomatter how good you are at using the computer.
And many of your images are good!
Finally my question is this:
AM I THE ONLY ONE ASKING HOW MUCH ONE CAN EDIT AN IMAGE, BEFORE IT'S TIME TO
TELL THE BEHOLDER?
Am I the only one noticing this in Ron's images?
Any thoughts?
