Did everyone see yesterday's (Thurs, Sept 2) Astro Photo of the Day? It WAS a nice image, but, as so often happens now-a-days, they went crazy tinting it with Photoshop. Don't they realize it looks like one of those old hand-colored postcards? I love technology, but you can go too far, as seen in (almost) every photography gallery today. While I'm at it, as a musician I rant and rave about abuses of Autotune for similar reasons. John R. Peterson
Agreed. Over-saturation is one of my biggest complaints with digital photography in general. Realism is sacrificed for artificial spectacle. On Fri, Sep 20, 2013 at 6:28 AM, John R. Peterson <docpity@earthlink.net>wrote:
