Good point. After reading the entire article, I tend to agree with most of
what he says.
Alot of it depends on personal tastes and preferences.

This sounds like it's coming from a computer guru rather than a
photographer. I heard things like this a lot in early Photoshop classes I
attended that were taught by graphic artists.
They simply wanted material to work with to exercise the abilities of
Photoshop..
Upon reading the entire article in Luminous Landscape, I get a more
balanced view of what the author is trying to bring across.

The Luminous Landscape has an article by Pete Myers on the value of
post-production editing for photographers:
"What I am suggesting is that the real power of photography in our modern
digital age is in using the computer in making an image... I really don't
care all that much about what the picture looks like that I took in the
field � I care about what I can make of the image in postproduction.
Certainly that does not excuse me from doing my best in taking a picture in
the field, but the point is what happens in the field is not an end all �
it's a beginning."
Any comments on this?
