Description - How Much Manipulation is Enough? In the world of modern digital photography we often become
critical of images that have been digitally manipulated or "Photoshop-ed?. This program will
review modern methods of digital manipulation and compare it to historical methods. We will
discuss "processing" versus "manipulating" images. We will also look at the value of plug-ins,
actions, and advanced imaging programs in your photo preparation. We will spend time discussing
(and possibly debating) the topic of when ?enough is enough? and when manipulation ?crosses the
line?. This program is meant to be fun and provoke thought.
