    Thought it was about a Clyde Edgerton book.
     
  2. If you'll touch up red eye, what's next?

    Oh, c'mon.
    That's a bit conspiratorial, don't you think? Photographers have been sharpening, adjusting de-specking since the beginning of the art. As long as the information isn't altered, we're good.

    I use the clone stamp in photoshop, but you have to go down to pixel level, and don't run the picture too big.

    Agreed Fish. It's not like we're giving someone a third arm. Or taking the person's eyes away.

    I'm with fishwrapper and SoSueMe. Nobody walks around with glowing red eyes (well, unless they're Satan). To fix red eyes in photos is more a case of trying to compensate for a flaw in technology than 'doctoring' a photo. If anything, NOT touching it up leaves a photo that is less true to life.

    But I'm a writer, so what the hell would I know about photography.
