I would point out however, there is often a healthy professional curiosity about the methods and processes of others working in the field. Is it an obsession? It can be, and if it moves from curiosity to obsession, it could be argued that it then becomes creatively unhealthy. As a technical publication about all things Photoshop, it’s only natural to examine the process Gregory Colbert used in making the prints for <i>Ashes and snow</i>. It’s clear he’s not resorting to photocomposition and that’s refreshing. It’s also clear that a great deal of effort and craftsmanship goes into the prints he makes. That’s professionalism. None of the above curiosity alters the fact that <i>Ashes and snow</i> is a tremendous show and that Gregory Colbert is extremely talented. But I sure wish I knew how he got that split-toned sepia color in his prints! :-) Jose,

Do we ask sculptors wheather they used power tools or a hammer and chisel? I always thought that the test of a piece of art is the image--does it move you? does it make you question your world? there is no reality, only views of it. TMax, TRI-X, Velvia, Provia, Dektol, Ilford, #1 , #4 filters, 16mm, 50mm, 500mm, dodging an d burning and many other artifacts in the darkroom will give you infinite views of reality. In the end a piece of art is either good or it is bad or it is both depending on the eye of the beholder. What is this obcesion with photoshop?
