And by that I mean change the content. If you just use photoshop to do typical photo enhancement like filters, cropping, etc, that you can do with a thousand free photo apps, then I would say that you can still take credit for the shot and call it art. If you change the content you have to produce something really special that conveys a vision of the subject in order for it to qualify as art. But what do I know? I had one semester of art appreciation in High School.
I don't have to worry about that. My editing skills are most basic. I did make a couple trash cans disappear in a photo, cloned them into rocks with snow. That makes me happy. |
Was going to the river to take some pics this am, but it's still too cold - windchill of 13 right now. Maybe tomorrow am before the warmup.

That subject is debated often in photo forums. Is is still a photograph if you have totally changed the look of the shot by adding layers, different colors, inserted images. It's still an art form but can you claim your prowess as a photographer with manipulated photos?

Photographers have worked all kinds of magic in the darkroom for years. Now they sit in from of the computer and do the same thing.

In my mind there is no debate. Through out the ages artists worked with and used the tools that were available to them at the time. When it comes to oil painting, for example, they copied others work, they did tracings, they had others rough in background detail, they worked from photographs, etc. In other words, they did whatever they felt comfortable with to better their craft. The challenge is to arrive at the envisioned final product, no matter the route to get there.

#1 Trash cans, partial picnic table, a sign...
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...f62ac856ac.jpg Cropped a bit, better position of the building, removes picnic table and the clone tool gets rid of the little bit of the sign on the left and makes trash cans into snow covered rocks. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...fce0381f13.jpg Re-sized for easier posting here. Learning light room maybe photoshop is on retirement bucket list. |
Now where are people supposed to put their trash, if you go removing all the trash cans?
