Interesting conversation. I have to say, I do like pictures better when they are natural, but I don’t have a problem with the idea of trying to make our pictures look nicer, whether it is merging some pics together, or editing them to make them look nicer. Getting our pictures to look nice is one of our goals, and photo manipulation is a tool to help with that. To me blending pictures together and manipulating them are fairly similar, because you are slightly altering the way they look either way, with merging pictures together, you are using the same scene but stacking it, but when you are manipulating a picture you are slightly changing the content. And again I don’t have a problem with manipulating pics, or stacking them when it is necessary (even though when I figure out how đ , I probably won’t stack them very much). I am more appealed to a natural pic, but using some of the modern tools to improve our pic isn’t bad.
