Devaluation of photography? in Accessories Posted December 15, 2006 Clive, remember that most of your coworkers never had any experience of "processing" or "post-processing" before the digital age. They sent their film to the lab and what came back was "the photo." Most of them probably had instamatics and didn't even think about manipulating exposure. Now it's gone to the other extreme; they know everything is "processed" to some degree or other. So it seems to devalue the skill of the photographer. It's an unfair bias, but I don't think there's anything to to be done about it.
