I'm a relative newbie to computing, and learning very much by trial... and a lot of error.

Not proper art. Was never into digital imaging, always prefered film photography & making things to messing about with a computer at uni.

As a traditional artist using oils and graphite primarily, I tend to agree. Nothing can take the place of real hand made art. I use Photoshop and Coreldraw for some things such as business cards and brochures though because of the convenience. Also comes in handy for fixing up less than perfect photographs, of which I have quite a few! lol I use my own photos as reference material for paintings for the most part, and Photoshop allows me to alter and combine photos to produce practical images from which to paint. Much easier and less expensive than taking them to a print shop.dollydaydream said:I always thought of photoshop & the like as cheating [huh]

Darhling said:I dont think using photoshop is cheating. The pics I posted where shot with a digital camera, so they were in color, I photoshopped them B/W, probalby upped the contrast and cropped out some edges.
I don't have cameras that take old B/W filmrolls, nor do I have the equipment to lighten or darken a whole building or an interior in the way I wish.
For me it would be the same if you mix up two colors and paint with them, since you dont use the 'original' colors.. a thing I would do if I were to paint!
I would say it is more important that you enjoy the finished product instead of fussing over how it was done, but that is just my humble and un-educated opinion.
