I totally agree. I’ve read several similar criticisms, and I just don’t get it. I guess I don’t really get “art elitism” in general. (ie: the “my way is more pure/better/superiour/whatever to yours”…)

The most exciting thing I’ve ever done with photoshop is remove the power lines that were draped across an image I took. That took me hours. I’m not good with editing programs. So I have to rely on my photo-taking skills.

New design, melikes! :)

Yeah, I’ve only had a couple shots where i’ve touched it up, and no one could tell. :)

Of course, I’ve made a few shots, and people would swear i used photoshop, but I didn’t. :)

I agree. I touch up all my pics with PS- removing red-eye, adjusting lighting, sharpening things, blurring backgrounds, etc. Sometimes I’ll remove blemishes and other unwanted elements, too. If people don’t like it, too bad, they’re MY photos.

Of course, if you’re good, people shouldn’t be able to tell you touched it up :-)
