My point was not about accuracy or truth, it’s about me finding art forms more interesting where the control is less direct. Even what you describe still sounds very far from the pixel level control you get with photoshop. I’m not sure who is ‘unaware” of what but I do think that in general things that are more strictly “regulated”, where you have less freedom, like wine making, are more highly regarded. Maybe there are lots of exceptions, I don’t know. Perhaps it’s just because old art forms tend to be less freely controlled, and by their nature have higher status. But with photography, are there any photoshop magicians that are as highly thought of as this Anselm Adams?
