Now peter just to clear up one point, I happen to be one of the we,
(
We photographers have always dabbled with the image after taking the photo)
and have been photographing most of my life, and yes I too had my own dark room and fiddled with the Black and Whites.
You have missed the point, CS 2,3,4,5,6 or the ones prior to this are not the same as dodging a photo under the enlarger, not even close.
It was time consuming and hot in that little box, but the end result was sometimes worth it.
The technology available today can make a heap of crap look beautiful, you can say what you like but that is the reality of it.
