----- Original Message ----- From: <Photogonow@xxxxxxx> : At least one or two photographers here on the list recognizes that the visual : is meant to stir the emotions -- & the technical -- is not always important : to the viewer. That's making a big assumption about the viewer and the intention of the image. One of my colleagues has just enrolled 8 police officers in his new Photoshop course - my first hought was.. why? These officers are the same police who used to go out with a hasselblad to take shots at accidents or crime scenes, they are not detectives - why on earth do hey want/need image manipulation skills? I'm really hoping they're not aiming for pretty pictures! k
