⎈Post-processing
I frequently get asked if I "Photoshop" my photographs — the question really being "Are they real?" Post-processing is a vital part of the imagemaking process. Ansel Adams once said, "The negative is the score, the print is the performance." To get an expressive print, you have to do some work. This should be done intelligently and sympathetically so as to not turn the photograph into something that has no bearing on reality.
