how PS is "cheating" and traditional techniques aren't Both are cheating. So what? >......"Photos may not be computer enhanced".... Does this lab offer prints from digital media, or do they strictly work with film? If the image has ever been digital, (including those scan it yourself printers at Jiffy-Mart), then it has been enhanced in some way. Best guess is the lab helped sponser the contest in order to promote appreciation of traditional craftsmanship, (and try to stay alive for a couple more years). All the enhancements mentioned can be done in a traditional darkroom, but that kind of speciality work is VERY expensive. Sounds like a good opportunity for someone familiar with photoshop enhancing to help this lab modernize.
