Wow ... huge amount of interesting input here. I'm not going to enter into the silliness that is the debate between Photoshop and the Darkroom (at the core, ignoring specialized graphics/art filters, Photoshop is the same thing using different tools and without the smells). I'll just say simply, in my mind, if the majority of the image is still a photo, then it belongs in the Photo gallery. If you take a photo, run it through Painter until it looks like an oil painting and not a photo then it needs to go into mixed media or 2D. Stock photos have no place in the photography gallery unless they were taken by the poster. As for the "no postwork" phenom going on, I've never understood that line of thought. Even in the darkroom, how you process your film, the setup of your enlarger, the paper you choose is equivalent to the "standard" photoshop postwork that most of us do. shrug -=>Donald
