Well that doesn't surprise me at all Will, especially the work bit.

I agree with the rest your post too, I think it's what we all strive for.

What is YMMV ?

Why would you want to do that?

I must say, my own PP approach is generally limited to a little tweak of contrast and levels, and cropping/straightening.

Oh, and of course sharpening if I have resized the image.

Personally I hate manipulation for the sake of it, as in the 'keyboard' example you mentioned earlier. Again the question I ask myself is 'why do that?'
I posted a photo of "Twins" for fun which I couldn't have done without "cheating" in photoshop. Note the word fun, which to me photography is. When it becomes a chore look out for some bargains in the classified

Just because it's the same colour as whisky one can make the wrong assumption. At a party I was given a glass of whisky coloured liquid which I downed in one, some toast or other. The liquid turned out to be Lemon Hart Banana Rum. I have never tasted anything so vile in my life but managed to reach the toilet where...I don't need to go into detail.

I think I read somewhere many of the symbols on the tool buttons in Photoshop originated from actual tools used in the darkroom (which to me remains a dark room) eg the paddles and the curled hand on the dodge and burn buttons.

This may seem a stupid question but would a photo that had been posted in the main gallery a month or so ago be acceptable? The reason I ask is although I have images in my archive that would sometimes fit the bill for these comps, apart from the fact they were taken in my pre Pentax days,so have not so many pentax ones yet, but some of the ones I thought might do and are taken with a pentax I have posted earlier in the main gallery.

I'm not supposed to comment but a photo from the gallery should be ok although any comments on the photo in the gallery would be ignored.
I hope other members will say yes or no to this.
