Sounds like you used to assume that photographs were something they were not? "Faking it: Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop" https://books.google.com/b

  Oh well, I'm not assuming that they weren't (I wrote equally "photoshopped", in proportion); also, I think it's a bit more complicated than a spectrum not retouched at all/complete fake. Specifically, my suspect is that easy of retouching has a snowball effect in the culture. By lowering the barrier to retouch, there will be a competitive incentive to be more and more aggressive with the tools. However, interesting book. I'd be curious to read what it says about Ansel Adams.

    "lowering the barrier" or building awareness among the audience that a photograph may not be what it seems at first glance.
