I have seen some Photoshopped (and other computer graphic altered) images being criticized as crossing the line.  I can understant purist opinions. Im certain that I have some of my own. But, doesnt art change? When the airbrush first came out, it was considered by many purist to be a gimmic and not a real art tool. Now there are well established airbrush artisits with magazines and books devoted to their work. Is not digital manipulation the new airbrush. I mean, why should the advantage of a well established photographer that has a truck full of lighting equipment and access to exotic locations that much different than the advantage of a skill Photoshop user or greenscreen/cgi artist?
